Town Council: Studies, Gardens, Circuses–Oh, My!

It may be a day for lovers, but it's also a day for a lovely Town Council meeting. Who needs flowers and chocolate when you have these five items on tonight's agenda?

5. You Need to Know About Early Street Community Garden: It has been around for a couple years. But, did you know the land it operates on is in a redevelopment area and could potentially become townhouses? That could change, however, if the town passes a resolution authorizing the filing of a grant application with the Department of Environmental Protection Green Acres Program, to obtain $525,000 to fund its acquisition. .
