What is the Hearing About?

On November 9th, 2023, the Town received a request to enter into a Development Agreement with the owner of 107 Main Street (PID# 90202250) to allow a refrigerated storage trailer/sea can (accessory building) at 107 Main Street to encroach into a minimum required abutting yard set-back.
