During a recent government meeting, officials discussed several key initiatives, including improvements to local infrastructure and plans for the town's 150th anniversary celebration.

Commissioner Dyson highlighted the need for more visible road markings, noting that the current red paint has faded and is difficult to procure. The discussion included the potential use of thermal paint, which is expected to be more durable. Additionally, updates on the dredging of Mirror Lake were provided, with the dredging company scheduled to begin staging in two weeks.

The meeting also addressed parking striping in front of the Episcopal Church, with plans to complete this work in the spring after ongoing construction is finished. Two trees are set to be planted in a new island area before Christmas, contingent on the availability of suitable specimens.

A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to planning for the town's 150th anniversary in 2025. Kaye McCann from the Chamber of Commerce presented various ideas, including signage to celebrate the milestone, a kickoff event in April, and a series of community activities throughout the year. Proposed initiatives include a historical walking tour, a home tour of older residences, and a documentary project showcasing the town's history.

The council expressed support for the proposed signage and banners to commemorate the anniversary, emphasizing the importance of celebrating this significant milestone for the community. The meeting concluded with a consensus to move forward with these plans, ensuring that the town's rich history is honored and recognized in the upcoming year.
