MERCER Voters gathered outdoors Saturday for the annual Mercer Town Meeting, at which they approved a $723,974 municipal budget.
The meeting, rescheduled to Saturday afternoon due to COVID-19 safety concerns, was held in front of the Mercer Community Center.
The proposed budget was $724,288, but funding in Article 5 came in slightly more than drafted in the warrant, so $2,512 was passed instead of the proposed $2,826.
