The Hanover Board of Selectpersons met April 13 for their monthly meeting. The Board met with a taxpayer who was concerned about assessments. The Board also discussed the fate of a large rock in the Howard Pond Road right of way. They tabled any action pending more information. The Board accepted Bruce Powell’s resignation from the Tri-Town Solid Waste Board and appointed Frank Morrison to replace him.

The annual Hanover Volunteer Clean-Up Day will be May 15. The project will begin at 8 a.m. at the Town Office and continue until noon when a lunch will be available.

Frank and Marie Morrison have returned home after being in a warmer place much of the winter.
