What's on this agenda

This is the board's FY 2027-29 budget retreat. Consent items include a capital project amendment for the Elizabeth Brady Road culvert replacement and a USDA-RD loan obligation for water treatment plant disinfection system improvements. The board also reappoints two Tourism Board members.

The bulk of the retreat is in-depth discussion: a funding request for CASA's Cedar Village affordable-housing project, a review of water and sewer rate structure, a strategic plan mid-year update, and continued review of the town's nonprofit funding process.
