The latest, from Sep 17: The Beautification Committee discussed community improvement priorities, funding, programming, and Water Street Park enhancements. The committee proposed an initial town allocation of $1,000 to $1,500, but Councilman Carl Quinn said he would need to raise it during the 2027 budgeting process and there were no guarantees. This is still a planning item, not an approved project. The next decision point is the 2027 budget discussion.
