THANK YOU STATE LEGISLATORS & CASELLA: Townsend Clean-Out Day 06/26/2024

Great things get accomplished when the community comes together. The Town of Townsend sends a big thank you to Senator Kyra Hoffner and State Representatives Kevin Hensley and Jeff Spielman for supporting our event!  We also want to send another thanks to our municipal waste provider Casella for sponsoring the dumpsters!
