The Board of Selectmen and the Board of Finance have agreed to delay the Annual Town Meeting until the State Budget is approved in Hartford, after which time an accurate and responsible financial plan will be discussed and acted upon for the Town Government and Hampton Elementary School budgets.

Also on the agenda of the Town Meeting will be discussion on the Town’s purchase of a 51 acre parcel of land along the Little River to the south of the valley on Hammond Hill.  The $171,500 purchase price would be 100% covered by funds already in the Town’s Open Space Account. The 5-Year Plan for roads and capital improvements is also on the docket, including paving projects and generator upgrades at the elementary school.

A hearty “Thank You” to the Mennonite community for their beautification efforts around our town.
