Kent Town Meeting set Jan. 18

KENT — On Jan. 11, the Kent Board of Selectmen set the date for the town’s annual town meeting to be held Thursday, Jan. 18, at the Town Hall, beginning at 7 p.m.

Included on the agenda will be a change to the farming ordinance, repealing the former ordinance developed in 2015, known as a “Right to Farm” ordinance, and enacting a new ordinance to be known as “Protection for Farmers from Nuisance Claims.”

“It’s protective, not punitive,” said First Selectman Marty Lindenmayer, terming it a “farm friendly ordinance.”

Also included on the agenda will be public comment on the five-year capital plan, being presented at the town meeting.

Selectwoman Lynn Worthington commented that the discussion will be a public forum on the town’s capital spending.
