Reconstruction of the Town Hall Parking Lot

 

NOTICE



Starting Monday, April 10, 2023, reconstruction of the Town Hall parking lot will begin. The work will take between 6-7 days, weather permitting.

 

The handicap ramp will be temporarily closed during this time. Town Hall will be accessible to residents during regular business hours, and entry will temporarily be through the Council Chamber door. We will provide updates as construction progresses. Thank you for your patience during this construction period.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

All dogs within the town must be licensed by April 30, 2023 to avoid a late fee. The cost is $6.00 per dog and proof of rabies immunization is required.

You can also renew online at:

If you are unable to access this program, we strongly suggest that you mail us a new or updated rabies certificate along with a check for $6.00. In return, our office will send your original rabies certificate back to you with your license to the mailing address provided.
