MPC Jan 2023 Recap

The Master Plan Committee met on January 19 at Town Hall.  Jim Garrity of the Energy and Sustainability Commission was there to share some of their good work. In spite of the current high cost of electricity, the town is spending much less on street lighting than previous years. That is done by changing to more efficient street light bulbs. We also learned that there is a house in town that pays only a few dollars a month for their electric bill. That is done by installing solar panels. Our discussion turned to the economy of the town where one of the things we learned is that there are still 10 working farms in town.  

Save the date, Tuesday April 11.  The forum for the Master Plan will be held at the Community Center.  This will be your chance for face-to-face input into the Master Plan. There will be two sessions on that day, one from 1:00-3:00, another from 6:00-8:00. You are welcome to attend either or both sessions.  One more thing, the “Atkinson Master Plan Committee” now has an active Facebook page.  Please join us.
