Lyndon: Where the town stands

While Lyndon's 2011 Town Meeting is just a couple of weeks away, 2010 was a good year for the town.

The reports for last year reveal many improvements to the town, including the the successful planning of upgrades to the waste-water plant. Of the $4.7 million it will cost to upgrade the old plant, the town approved to give $1.288 million to help the project. The plant is looking to be completed in a year span starting this summer.

Some of the other improvements have been to the Cobleigh Public Library and the addition of a new dump truck.

Looking towards the future, there are some goals that are already set. A committee is looking into flood mitigation throughout the town. A second committee is looking a site to have a shared garage for the town of Lyndon.

The Board of Trustees finished last years budget with a surplus and hopes to use that money to offset the plan to not have a tax increase in the coming year.
