WORTHINGTON – Annual Town Meeting had a big turnout Saturday, with two articles being voted down and a third referred to the Planning Board for two years of study. Voters also approved money to make the police chief a full-time job and hire a full-time officer.
Approximately 140 voters participated in Town Meeting, which was moved inside the R.H. Conwell School due to high winds and low temperatures.
“Today was particularly well attended for a Town Meeting,” said Select Board Chairman Charley Rose, in an interview.
The meeting was originally scheduled to take place outside. However, the company employed to put up the tent was contractually unable to do so because of the wind. The town moderator, Board of Health and other local officials decided it would be best to have the meeting indoors.
