Social event this Thursday!!
March 28, 2024 | Categories: NewsletterHello, STHV! A quick update for you all- this Thursday (3/28) at 5:00, we're having a social event!

If good times and good people aren't enough to persuade you to come, we also will provi ...

This is a reminder that the joint Council and Planning Commission Meeting for the Zoning rewrite is happening tomorrow at 7:00 pm in the Municipal Building.
