The Veteran’s Department aims to serve the men and women who have fought for their country. They advocate at every level and fight for the benefits our Veterans deserve. The department purchases new flags to proudly be displayed in the Common, Talbot Oval, and other places around town including the cemetery. Veterans Department also provides food stamp intake, social security counseling, and VA Benefits guidance to residents. The Department provides emergency fuel assistance to residents in need. The Town will also continue to fund 25% of Veterans benefits with the other 75% reimbursed by the state.
