The proposed Memorial Park restroom renovation bid was awarded to VPC Builders at the July 11, 2023 regular Town Council Meeting. The project is scheduled to move forward in the coming weeks. The remainder of the Memorial Park project is under review for any cost minimizing alternatives/ scope options.

The Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) equipped water meter installations are starting soon. Homeowners will begin seeing public works and contractor crews working in designated areas to get new meters and registers installed soon. Installation across Town is expected to take up to a year for full service throughout the town. This new technology will provide for data tracking of water usage in between billings to better pinpoint and identify the timing of water leaks or other related issues.

Now that hedges along town streets have had time to grow this year, please have your bushes and hedges cut back to at least 2 feet inside the edges of the street pavement. This will provide sufficient clearances for vehicles traveling town streets and help prevent possible accidents due to limited visibility from roadside tree overgrowth. 

Thank you for assisting the Town in maintaining safe, unobstructed streets and roadways.

As a reminder: Post Office parking is not public Town parking. The Post Office parking area is privately owned by the Post Office. As a courtesy, we ask that citizens and visitors kindly only park at the Post Office to do business at the Post Office.
