Just wanted to let you know that because of COVID-19, it seems that Plainfield, rather than having a regular in-person town meeting this year, will likely be presenting all the articles in a ballot. The Legislature authorized the Select Board to make that decision for each town. If that's the way we go, it would be just for this upcoming Town Meeting in March - unless, of course, the COVID-19 pandemic continues and the Legislature again makes Australian balloting for town meeting an option for 2022 as well.
This is on the agenda for our Select Board meeting on Monday, December 14, along with lots of other issues. The agenda is below and includes information about how to join our Zoom meeting.
