News About Town: This Saturday, January 11 (9 am to 3 pm), the mayor and Board of Commissioners will meet at Town Hall for a Board Retreat. The retreat aims to build a foundation for working together as a governing team. While the entire meeting is open to the public, the last hour (2-3 pm) may be of most interest to the public. During this portion, Board Members will share their individual objectives for this two-year term.
