Join us October 28 at the Washington Zoning Commission hearing and help us support arts in our community! We love our local arts scene – and we hope it continues to grow! The Zoning Commission has proposed regulations that would counteract the approved town plan for conservation and development. These revisions would drastically limit opportunities for future community arts events and activities in Washington. We'd love your help in keeping Washington a vibrant, growing community. Please join us at the public hearing: Oct 28, 7:30pm at Washington Town Hall. For more information or for other ways to help, contact Hannah Firestone at [email protected]. Thank you so much for helping us keep our community active and inspiring! — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2NijG0C
