A new Bylaw is proposed this spring to manage the impact of new development and connections to the town’s stormwater pipes and reduce the pollution entering our streams. Kerry Snyder and Holly Jones will explain what the proposed law does and why we need it. This program will be held virtually, on Zoom.
