On Monday evening there is the Nursing Home Board of Directors meeting at it's new 6:30pm time (agenda here and addendum here). From the previous month's minutes in this month's agenda packet you can see this is more of a managerial board discussing financials and marketing more than policy or politics.

The Zoning Board of Appeals meeting Thursday night may have drama spill over from last time over concerns with Solar Farm noise and proximity to homes. WAND had an article about the concerns that had a large public turnout to the last meeting (upcoming agenda here). Board page here.
