From the Town Office

Town Office – The Town Office is open to the public. We have a plexi-glass shield separating customers from office staff. Only one person at a time is allowed inside. If you don’t want to come in the office, we can still do business by telephone, email, credit card and / or drop box outside the office door. Whatever you are comfortable with! Please don’t hesitate to call and we will do our best to answer your questions and assist you in any way possible. Call 846-3148 for information. We are closed on Tuesday. We will also be closed September 7 th in observance of Labor Day. Absentee Ballots for November 3 rd – There has been a lot of buzz in the news about absentee and mail-in voting so we have gotten many questions. We want you to know that you can fill out the application for an absentee ballot, but we do not receive the actual ballots from the Secretary of State until 30 days before the election. If you request the absentee ballot now, we will get the ballot to you as soon as we receive them from the State. Please call the Town Office if you have questions, 846-3148. We have a bright red secure lock box next to the door at the Town Office for completed ballots. Transfer Station – The Transfer Station is open Monday and Thursday from 9:00 am to 11:00 am., Wednesday and Friday from 1:30 pm to 5:00 pm and Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The Transfer Station is closed on Tuesday.

Recycling News – I’m sorry to report that our last load of Recycling was 5% contaminated! The contaminates included 30+ empty plastic bags, a mop, Styrofoam, waxed cardboard, shrink-wrap and padded mailers. It is one of the worst loads we have had in a while. Everyone seems to want to recycle, but there continues to be a problem with WHAT you are trying to recycle. Please take a moment to review the items you and your family put in the recycling bin. If you need assistance, please ask Gail Jenkins, our Transfer Station attendant. If you are in doubt, please just put it in the trash bin. Taxes Due September 30 – We will be mailing tax bills at the end of August. Interest will begin to accrue October 1, 2020. Please call the Town Office if you have any questions. We have installed a drop box outside the Town Office door for tax payments and any other paperwork you want to drop off.

Thank you for your support and remember to be kind to one another.

Marjorie E. Stratton, Town Administrator
