March 15, 2024 Town Newsletter

With extra evening daylight and daffodils starting to poke up from the ground, we're seeing signs of spring all around. At Town Hall, some signs of spring are the Assessing office organizing tax assistance applications, giant Easter eggs at parks around town (thanks to Community Services!), and all departments preparing their proposed FY2025 budgets for a presentation to the Town Council at the end of the month. Read our latest newsletter for more, and have your pen handy for some useful "save the dates" on upcoming deadlines, program event dates, and more.
