During the March Town Council meeting, the Corporation of Shepherdstown approved volunteer appointments and discussed funding for vital spring events to support struggling local businesses. Council member Shannon Thomas highlighted the necessity of events like the Easter Egg Hunt and Spring Parade to draw visitors downtown. Concerns were raised about budget constraints, attributed to rising operational costs and obligations linked to a recently acquired property. Additionally, community members sought an extension for residents living in trailers on that property, and the council also addressed plans for a new task force focusing on town banners. The Shepherdstown Chronicle reports on how these discussions reflect the community's efforts to enhance local life through engaging activities.
