Franklin Street Townes Amenity Dispute
The townhome development off South Franklin Street has sat with an unbuilt pool and clubhouse for years, and the last townhome building is on hold because of a notice of violation.

Comprehensive Transportation Plan 2026 amendments
The first update to the town's transportation plan since 2021, covering greenways, multi-use paths, transit, and road priorities. The shift from painted bike lanes to multi-use paths and new S-Line-related connections will shape how residents bike, walk, and drive for years.
