## Summary

The Town Council will meet on March 9th to address a variety of topics impacting our community. The meeting includes routine approvals like budget adjustments and contracts, but also features key discussions on significant issues. 

A major topic will be the potential annexation of property for a second ABC store, which could affect local alcohol availability. The Council will also debate how to best utilize excess funds – options under consideration include improvements to the sewer system, extending the greenway trail, or paying down town debt. A significant decision will be made regarding regulations for data centers and cryptocurrency mining within the town, which could impact future development. Updates are also expected on ongoing discussions about developing the Town Center property and a proposed affordable housing project.

Citizens interested in these developments, particularly those related to local businesses, finances, and future growth, are encouraged to attend the meeting or view it online. Several dates for upcoming events like the Spring Litter Sweep, Easter Egg Hunt, and a Shred/Pill Drop event were also announced.
