Greetings from Colebrook Town Hall.
On Monday, December 9th, there will be a brief special town meeting at 8 p.m., adjourning to referendum on Tuesday, December 10th, when taxpayers will have an opportunity to consider a proposed 20-year, $4.9 million tax stabilization agreement with Wind Colebrook South. Polls will be open on Tuesday, December 10th, from noon to 8 p.m.
Absentee ballots are available in the Town Clerk’s office during normal business hours (8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. today through Thursday; 8:30 a.m.-noon on Friday; and 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on Monday). Requests must be made in person and will only be issued for the individual making the request, except in the case of illness rendering the applicant unable to appear. Details are available through the Town Clerk’s office.
The special town meeting adjourning to referendum (similar to the process we follow for the approval of our annual town and Region 7 budgets in May) is a statutory requirement and does not allow for public discussion of (or a vote on) the referendum question.
Unlike municipal, state and federal elections, any property owner with $1,000 in assessed value is eligible to vote on December 10th.
Please let me know if you have any questions at (860) 379-3359, ext. 202, or contact Town Clerk Debi McKeon at dmckeon@colebrooktownhall.org<mailto:dmckeon@colebrooktownhall.org>.
