Addison Independent staff AFTER MANY YEARS holding the Addison town meeting in the nearby elementary school, municipal officials decided to hold this year’s annual gathering in the Addison Town Hall building off Route 22A at the four corners next to the Baptist church. Selectboard members believe the historic building has enough room for meeting participants to safely social distance.

Ever since she left, she s been trying to figure out how to get back. For now, her job as an elementary school health teacher keeps her in another town in Addison County, Leicester. So her father, who s retired and lives alone, is doing his best to keep her childhood home in decent shape affordable housing is scarce in the mountain town. He said, I m holding on to it because otherwise you won t be able to live here, Smith, 30, said. I told him, If the school isn t there, I would have some hard thinking to do.
