Four important events dominate this week: The township forum for business owners on Monday, the Board of Education candidates forum on Tuesday, the Board of Adjustment hearing on Thursday and the VHS Marching Band Festival on Saturday.
The business forum in open to all business owners, whether they have a business-district location or are home-based. The BOE candidates night is an event sponsored by the Conference of SCAs that will give you an opportunity to hear all four candidates on a wide range of issues. The Board of Adjustment meeting could be the final hearing on a proposal to build as assisted living center where the Richfield Regency now stands. (You can catch up by watching previous Board of Adjustment meetings on YouTube.) And the Marching Band Festival? That’s just a whole lot of good music.
