The revenue generated the past fiscal year declined. The decline was mainly due to operations at Town Hall being shut down due to the pandemic that we all experienced. I anticipate fees to rebound in the following year. On another note, the office has taken a fresh approach to doing business in Hollis and prioritizes the “People” of Hollis. We are here to be a resource to the community and will continue to take a “cohesive” approach and partner with residents on their projects. We will strive to be the most sought out resource in the Community as we believe helping people and serving the public is a core value that we prioritize every day as we serve this great little community.
