Supervisor's Report through March 31, 2008 PDF Print E-mail

by Rick McCabe

I hope you made it through the winter. Actually I'm hoping it's finally over. With that being said, I would like to thank our DPW Department for the great work all season.

I would also like to thank all the residents who have been civil and understanding after receiving their reassessments. All towns in the State will be looking at 100% assessment. The fact that it hasn't been done in over 30 years has not helped the situation. GAR Associates will be working with all our residents in trying to correct any misunderstandings. Once again, thank you.
