PAXTON Planning for the unknown in the Age of COVID-19, selectmen are trying to figure out when to hold the annual town meeting.
Last year, it was delayed from May to August.
This year, the tradition would be to hold it on May 3.
Selectmen at their meeting Feb. 8 discussed the concerns about having it inside. But another outside meeting posed complications as well.
“I’m hoping we can still have it May 3, but it may be outside,” Chairman Peter Bogren Jr. said.
Town Administrator Carol Riches raised concerns about the weather, but Bogren said he was not so worried about the weather as social distancing.

PAXTON Taxpayers should not wait until Feb. 1 to stop by town hall and pay their taxes. Town offices are closed until Feb. 1, and taxes are due then.
Selectmen decided at the board’s Jan. 11 meeting to keep town hall closed until Feb. 1 as part of the effort to slow the spread of COVID-19.
“We’ve already had people knocking” at the town hall seeking to pay taxes, board executive assistant Donna Graf-Parsons said.
Town Administrator Carol Riches said the bills include coupons for bills due Feb. 1 and May 3.
Taxpayers can mail in paper bills with payment or drop them at town hall in the box at the bottom of the stairs. Riches said a camera is trained on the box for security. Taxes can also be paid online.
