RE: Town Status Update-Emergency

Hello Residents, Board of Selectmen and All Staff Members

I do appreciate all of your letters of support for the Emergency decisions which were made last week due to a potential COVID-19 threat.  As of today 11/16/2020, the current testing results will now allow for the reopening of the Transfer Station only, beginning on Tuesday 11/17/2020.

The Transfer Station will be open for normal weekly hours and all items will be accepted once again.

I appreciate everyone’s patience as we worked through the situation.

Unfortunately, due to a recent state outbreak involving Emergency Response Personnel in several nearby communities, we will be locking down the Firehouse to immediate Personnel ONLY.  The Firehouse is staffed and operational but we will remain in this status pending additional details from the Cumberland County Emergency Center.

Please also note that as this virus takes on many phases throughout the coming months, it may be necessary to close the Town Hall once again for appointments only in the future should the numbers begin to rise in our community.  It is more important than ever to remain diligent while out and about and to STAY HOME IF YOU OR A MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY IS SICK!!!!

We need to all be looking out for each other in a “good way” and that starts with caring about your neighbor.

Thank you again for your support! If anyone has any additional questions or concerns, please contact me or a member of your Board of Selectmen.

Kindly,
Brenda Fox-Howard
Town Manager
