Budget Workshops Provide Opportunity For Input From Residents

Windsor residents are invited to participate in a variety of upcoming budget workshops concerning the preparation of the 2012 - 2013 budget.     A workshop originally planned for January 25 has been canceled to allow residents to attend a public forum on that same night hosted by the Windsor Board of Education concerning the school's proposed budget. The Board of Education forum will be held at 7:00 PM in the L.P. Wilson Community Center Board Room.  This  workshop has been rescheduled for January 31st.  

The Town Manager's budget workshops scheduled to take place on January 31, February 22 and March 29 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Town Hall are informal and interactive gatherings that will provide residents with an opportunity to offer their thoughts on how to prioritize spending while meeting the needs of the community with the budget that will take effect July 1, 2012.
