Weekly Edition of Hinesburg Record
Latest news & events: Week of July 21
While last week it seemed that the oppressive heat would never end — it did. And by Monday we had a morning in the 50s that felt more like August than July. A good time to tackle those weeds and other outdoor projects, we suppose, and we know those who make their living outside are mighty glad for the reprieve.
The Selectboard had a short meeting last Wednesday and approved our new tax rates based on the reappraisal. For most, the tax bill should remain the same, unless your home’s valuation was greater than the 86 percent increase in the grand list. So you’ll have to do the math on your own.

A handful of kind souls helped out with maintenance of two of Hinesburg’s many hiking trails on Saturday at the Gilman Road trailhead and the Buck Hill entrance to the Russell Trails. Many thanks to those who keep our trails so nicely groomed. For full story, click here.
