With Town Meeting Day, Tuesday, March 2, rapidly approaching, the voters of Athens will be asked to elect town officials. I will support Matt Perry as road commissioner and Janet Perry for Selectboard.
Matt has been a road employee in Athens for the past 23 years. He was elected road commissioner in March 2019, when the road commissioner at that time retired.
Since Matt's promotion to road foreman and becoming road commissioner, you may have noticed great improvements in the maintenance of our town roads. He and Eugene Bills have been dedicated to the infrastructure of our roads, focusing on reducing the cost of maintenance while improving road safety. Matt is also conducting an aggressive pursuit of state road grants to improve our existing roads.
In addition, Matt and Eugene have steadily increased the level of in-house repairs and maintenance to all our equipment, resulting in significant savings to taxpayers.
