In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The upcoming meeting presents an opportunity for citizens to directly influence key financial and developmental decisions within Shepherdstown. The finalization of the FY27 budget will set the spending priorities for the town in the coming fiscal year, impacting various services and projects. The “Laying of the Levy” is a statutory requirement that establishes the tax rates for the upcoming year, directly affecting the tax burden on residents. Furthermore, the council’s decision on the annexation petition could lead to changes in the town’s boundaries and potentially influence future development and service provision in the affected areas.
Those unable to attend in person are encouraged to participate remotely via Zoom, with the link available for access. Engaging with these proceedings is highlighted as crucial for residents to stay informed about matters that will shape the community’s future. The Town Council emphasizes the importance of public awareness and participation in these significant decision-making processes.
