Hello Neighbors:

Big week for civic engagement, what with Town Meeting Day, and our next Ward6 Neighborhood Planning Assembly! We will meet this upcoming Thursday March3 from 6:30-8:15pm. At this writing I am not sure if we will have our in-person option at the Greek Orthodox Chrurch (at the Rotary), but there's always the Zoom meeting (see link below). We'll try to send out an update later this week if in-person is possible.

One key this month is the election of Ward6 NPA Steering Committee members. Really a great way to have a positive impact on your fellow citizens, and a great way to be involved with some of the workings of the city. Low time impact, but very rewarding. Please contact any of the present committee members if you would like to hear a little more before the Thursday meeting (email addresses here):

We will also be featuring an update on next steps for the City's police chief search, as well as some information about the start of service for the Ethan Allen Express at the Main Street rail station. Look forward to seeing you all there!
