The Brandon Methodist Church (BMC) has stood at the intersection of Franklin and Carver Streets in downtown Brandon since 1876.  The beautiful building has taken some hits over the years—it’s seen fires and floods and even lost its steeple—but it’s still rooted to its place, a fitting edifice for a congregation that’s determined not to disappear.

Hopkins is currently the Chair of the Selectboard and will resign from that position to assume his new role when he has signed a contract with the town.

The Brandon Selectboard met on Monday evening, having postponed its scheduled meeting on April 10 for a week because the agenda had not been posted online in time to properly warn the public.

The sights and sounds of spring are upon us, and with them come warm sunny days perfect for getting outside and exploring the many natural areas and trail systems in our local area. 

It was a meeting that had to be extended twice beyond the 2-hour time limit and lasted 4.5 hours.
