Selectboard Meeting Notes – New Chair, New Goals
The Brattleboro Selectboard, under new management of Chair Ian Goodnow, had their first regular meeting of April and their first long discussion. It was about goals and what they want to do in the coming year. They also had their first meeting in the Municipal Center in quite a long time, sitting closely without masks and wondering where members of the public might be.
The board approved of a catering license, loaned some more money for new housing, allowed short term rental in the parking garage, and more.

Selectboard Meeting Notes – Brattleboro Renters Request Landlord Limits
The Brattleboro Selectboard discussed affordable housing at length Tuesday evening.

The DPW also shared a bit of the spotlight, with road grants and a new mower attachment.
