Hardwick Board of Selectmen Meeting 3/28/22

1h 38m

The Hardwick Board of Selectmen addressed several critical municipal matters, including the upcoming public outreach meeting for Zen Acres Farm, approving two new alcohol licenses, and initiating a search for an in-house accountant to enhance financial management. Significant discussion focused on the interim appointment of Jessica Crawford as Collector, the ongoing issues with the current IT provider leading to a new bid process, and the proposed transition to the Vadar financial system. The meeting also covered updates on ambulance services, the town audit, and the critical state of the Hardwick Water District, alongside discussions on the future of vacant town-owned properties like the Page Building.
