As we have now passed the one-year mark of the COVID-19 pandemic, the wide-reaching economic impacts of this global crisis cannot be overstated.

Last week, key legislation was passed on both the state and federal level to support our economic recovery from COVID-19.

Approaching the end of a series of meetings with Boards, Committees, and Finance Officers, the Governance Committee (GC) met Thursday afternoon with Travis Ahern, Town Administrator, to review its progress.
