Town Meeting Results 4/5/2021

Thanks to everyone who participated in our first “hybrid” town meeting. We had approximately 80 attendees at home and 40 in person. We have a few areas we can modify should another event like this take place and we will work towards these improvements in the future. We thank all who helped coordinate this event and made it a success.
