Baxter Town Meeting Saturday

Baxter city officials will talk and listen to voters on Saturday at at town hall meeting at Heritage Assembly of God Church on College Road. Tammy Filippi is the chairwoman of Baxter's Long Range Planning Commission. She told the Dispatch that people usually aren't willing to attend town meetings unless there's some sort of controversy but she hopes this weekend's meeting is the exception. Filippi said the meeting is an informal gathering and people can come and go when they want to. Officials plan presentations on parks and trails and a conservation district proposition to restrict development in southwest Baxter. Registration starts at 8:45 Saturday morning. Hot dog, chips and drinks are on the menu for lunch at 11am.
