Dear Canton Residents,

Please consider this a personal invitation to attend the 2016 Annual Town Meeting.  It will be held on Wednesday, January 20, 2016 at 7:00 pm at the Town Hall Auditorium. Two topics will be presented that evening. The first will be the marketing analysis and branding plan developed by the Town of Canton’s
Economic Development Agency for the Town of Canton.

The second topic will be the process and possible benefits of creating a Tax Increment Financing Master Plan pursuant to Connecticut Public Act 15-57 for portions of Collinsville, including the Collins Axe Factory, in order to fund certain public improvements and promote economic development. Both of these topics will be subjects of extensive discussion in Canton in the coming year, and I encourage you to come and learn more about them.

That evening, the town will also honor, with the dedication of the 2015 Annual Report, the late Emil J. Huyghebaert, who served the Canton community for over 50 years.

I hope your 2016 is off to a healthy and happy start, and I look forward to seeing you on January 20th.

Warm regards,
Leslee B. Hill
First Selectman
