On Wednesday, the Town Board unanimously passed the revised Zoning Ordinance. Our thanks to Plan Commission Chair Jodi Lomma and Town attorney Austin Mogard in attendance that evening. Chair Lomma presented a PowerPoint presentation detailing the recommended rezoned parcels and sections of the Ordinance that speak to enforcement. Attorney Mogard followed up by answering questions from the Board. Our thanks are extended to all those commissioners who worked on the Ordinance, those that attended the public hearings and provided their input, and especially Kathy Lee, PC Secretary who so accurately recorded all the changes through the years. On behalf of the Town Board, we appreciate the cooperation and collaboration that was necessary to reach this goal.

Thank you, Sharon
