Earlier today, the town hosted a meeting with several of our businesses. The goal was to establish deeper relationships, brief them on town matters and enlist their support. For example, one goal is to hire more of our high school students during the summer. we discussed the importance of vocational education to support their long term needs. Our Fire Chief, briefed them on the importance of the new Fire Station. Every business leader in attendance expressed an interest helping the town. It was a very engaging conversation and I want to personally thank them; we will do another session for the businesses that had a conflict with today’s date and we are committed to quarterly meetings. The innovation, robotics, and AI being deployed by these businesses is amazing.
Firstly, I want to thank our town leaders; Town Administrator April Steward, Fire Chief Joe Flanagan, Police Chief John Annunziata, Town Planner Trevor Beauregard, and Highway Superintendent Steve Mero. Also, Select Board Executive Assistant Alison Kennedy and Facilities Director Scott Kneeland and others who worked behind the scenes to make today successful.
Finally, I want to thank CREST Technologies, FEDEX, Clinton Savings Bank, Cardinal Health, Rand Whitney, Tower Hill; The Haven Country Club, Dunkin Donuts, and Fuller Motorhomes for their attendance.
We all have a role to play to create and sustain a vibrant community and it’s important to understand how different stakeholder groups play a role.
