The Redding Board of Selectmen has voted unanimously to extend the Town's annual budget process by 30 days, culminating with a referendum on the first Tuesday in June, June 2nd. The Redding Board of Finance public hearing will now take place on Thursday April 16th, at 7:30pm at the Redding Community Center.  While eager to embrace technology, First Selectwoman Julia Pemberton didn't feel it prudent to ask residents to participate in a virtual public hearing process at a time when their concerns lie elsewhere.  No changes will be made to the budget before the public hearing, but she says with the upheaval in the daily lives of residents and the rapid escalation of this health emergency and its financial impacts, the view of the budget may be very different 30 days from now.
