SUPERVISORS REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING 5-26-2023  As I wrote this week's report I thought about the amount of work our town team does in anticipation of Memorial Day.

Many of the residents that stopped by during the 2 hour event had never been to our facility. Although the reason for the open house was to show the repairs and improvements to our building, many younger visitors were all about the plow trucks and other equipment.
