Williamstown adopts resolution supporting Vermont 250th activities
Summary
The Select Board adopted a resolution to support the Vermont 250th Anniversary Commission and authorized a local liaison or committee to coordinate town activities; the resolution allows optional local funding if available and requests the commission be notified of the town’s support.
The Select Board voted to adopt a resolution supporting the Vermont 250th Anniversary Commission and to establish either a liaison or a local committee to coordinate Williamstown’s participation in statewide commemorations.
Staff read the resolution aloud, noting the commission was created by executive order to plan and encourage observances tied to the 250th anniversary of events surrounding the Revolutionary War and the Declaration of Independence. The resolution states the town may provide funding for planning or events "as available" but emphasizes participation is voluntary and unpaid.
A board member said the local historical society had already expressed interest in participating. The board approved the resolution by voice vote and directed that a copy be sent to the Vermont 250th Anniversary Commission.
