Greetings, friend and neighbor!

After a short excursion, I’m back on terra firma and looking forward to a beautiful end to the week here in Burlington.

Quick note: due to Patriots’ Day, trash collection will be delayed this week. So don’t put out your trash and recycling until tomorrow!

Planning Board Vacancy

A big piece of news today: The Planning Board now has a vacancy that needs to be filled! The summary is this: Our new Select Board member, Mike Espejo, was a member of the Planning Board, and his term had not yet completed before he was elected to the Select Board. Therefore, his seat is now available. The person appointed will be an interim member of the Board until the local election next April.

Read the full details here, and please fill out the questionnaire if you think you might be interested in an interim appointment!
