The redevelopment of the borough is progressing with the recent demolition of the building at 501-503. The project is one of several underway, including the rehabilitation of the Old Jefferson Bank building and St. Mary’s. The council expressed optimism about these developments and their potential to enhance the local community.

A moment of reflection was held for former Mayor Jack Marfield, who passed away recently. Marfield was remembered fondly for his dedication and volunteer service to the town. Council members shared personal anecdotes. His impact was acknowledged as significant, and condolences were extended to his family.

Additionally, the council introduced an ordinance related to the registration and licensing of dogs and cats. The final adoption of this ordinance is scheduled for the next council meeting.
