A MESSAGE
FROM THE
Select Board
Chairman
I would like to take this opportunity to extend my
heartfelt thanks to my fellow members of the Select
Board and our exceptional Town Manager. Your support,
insight and tireless effort play a crucial role in shaping
the future of our town. It is because of your collective
commitment to public service that we are able to
navigate the challenges we face and continue to make
progress toward our shared goals. Each of you brings a
unique perspective and together we have forged a path
forward that reflects the values and needs of our
community. This truly is a team effort and I am grateful
to work alongside such a talented and passionate group
of individuals.
I also want to express my deep gratitude to all the
employees who work to keep our town running
smoothly. To those who interact directly with our
community every day – from our police officers,
firefighters and public works staff to our library
employees, parks and recreation team and all those who
ensure our daily operations are seamless – your hard
work and dedication are greatly appreciated.
Thank you to our administrative staff, facilities
department, IT support, planners, and all those who
work tirelessly to support the operations of the town.
Your contributions ensure that everything functions
efficiently and we are fortunate to have such a skilled
and dedicated team working to make our town better
each and every day.
Serving as the Chairman of the Select Board is both
an honor and a privilege and I do not take this
responsibility lightly. I am continually humbled by
the trust and confidence the community has placed
in me and I remain deeply committed to
representing the best interests of our town. This role
comes with its challenges, but through
collaboration and open communication, we can
meet them head-on and make sound, informed
decisions for the benefit of all our residents.
I am excited about the opportunities before us. Our
town has a rich history and it is our shared vision for
the future that will allow us to build on the
foundation laid by those who came before us.
Together with the support of our dedicated public
servants, we can continue to make meaningful
strides in improving the quality of life for all who call
this town home. Whether enhancing our
infrastructure, supporting local businesses or
creating a strong community for all residents, we
have the privilege of making a lasting impact.
Together, we will continue to work hard, remain
focused and keep the best interests of our town at
the heart of everything we do.
