Repeal of Water Requirements for Non-Subdivision Homes
The town is repealing its rule requiring large non-subdivision residential developments to prove adequate water supplies, after a threatened legal challenge. Residents implored the council to fight, warning water is the town's lifeblood; officials say the fight now moves to the state legislature, and the council could readopt a local ordinance later.
FY 2027-28 Budget Planning
The council adopted the town's roughly $222.6 million budget for next fiscal year. Residents pushed back on two items: $146,000 for lighting on the Glassford Hill Road arch and about $3.6 million for Glassford Dells Park. The budget is structurally balanced and includes a $5.3 million replacement fund and a new health fund.
