Volunteers Needed for Town Committees & Boards

Are you a new resident who is interested in enhancing parks, tree conservation, or helping with special events? Are you a long-time resident concerned about traffic, stormwater management, or a potential increase in housing density? The Town Council encourages you to volunteer for a Town committee, board, or commission. No prior experience is necessary, just a willingness to spend one hour per week, on average, extending your talents, working with fellow residents, and improving our community.
