THE WEEK IN REVIEW
Morris Lake is one (1) inch above the top of the spillway.
Another exciting edition of Tom Talk this week as we interviewed the operator of the very successful Board & Brush Creative Studio! Tune in on July 27th when Kimberly Williams moves from behind the camera to center stage!
The kiddie pool has been tiled and plastered! We are looking to open the same around July 26th.
We had another successful planning meeting to discuss the Firehouse No. 1 multi-year renovation.
Next week we have TRC and Planning Board meetings on Wednesday.
Be safe and well.
Yours In Service,
