I look forward to assisting you. If you happen to be at the Town Hall, please feel free to drop in anytime. However, if you are making a special trip to visit me please know that I am often out in the field on inspections or in meetings. If you phone prior to your visit, you can be sure that I am in and available to assist you. I look forward to working with you.

'Zoning' has been defined as, "a general plan to control and direct the use and development of property in a municipality or a large part of it by dividing it into districts according to the present and potential use of the property."

Applications and regulations can be obtained in the Zoning Office.
