Another winter storm on the way seems to confirm that the ground hog did see his/her shadow.
If it gets to be a blizzard or not, we’ll find out as it arrives. In any case, we do have a full set of meetings for this week coming off the school vacation week.
The Agricultural Commission, Library Board of Directors and Planning Board are all scheduled for Monday.
Tuesday has the School Committee scheduled for their formal vote on the FY 2027 budget. The budget book and all the budget details you may want are now available on the School Budget page.
Wednesday has the Finance Committee scheduled to meet to look at a couple of financial funding options for an emergency replacement of one of the fire trucks due to frame corrosion. Also scheduled for their review is the updated 5 year fiscal forecast. Hopefully there will be a more earnest discussion on this than we saw at the Town Council meeting Feb 11.
The Council on Aging and the 250th Anniversary Celebration committees are also scheduled to meet on Wednesday.
The Conservation Commission closes out this meeting week with their regular session on Thursday.
For all the meetings and cultural events, check out the calendar at Franklin.news where each day, that day's events are posted on the top of the page, the TV and radio schedules are on the bottom, and all the other goodness falls in-between.
