Community Residences Zoning Ordinance Cleanup
A new state law forces the town to allow up to ten residents in assisted living homes, undoing the stricter 2022 local cap of five to eight. The town has little choice but to comply, though commissioners noted the state is preempting local control.
Commercial Zoning Ordinance Revisions
The town council initiated a $50,000 facade improvement program to help downtown business owners upgrade their storefronts with 50% matching grants up to $10,000. The program aims to boost economic vitality and enhance the visual appeal of the commercial district.
