We also kicked off the summer in a big way with a fantastic concert featuring the Marshall Tucker Band ??, followed by many great community events throughout the season.

As we move into 2026, the work is far from finished ?. The coming year will be highlighted by the opening of a brand-new Public Works facility and continued development of the Marketplace property along Route 173. We are also actively working with developers on concepts for the former Village Hall site downtown, with the goal of adding new retail and residential components that further strengthen our Downtown District ?️.
