When we welcomed in 2020 last January, no one could have imagined where we are today.
The largest crowd ever witnessed the annual New Yearâs Eve Bonfire that bid farewell to 2019 and ushered in 2020.
Three months later, the world as we knew it changed. Our governor issued an executive order declaring a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Soon after, the Charlestown Town Council signed a state of emergency declaration that is still in effect today.
The town quickly pivoted to virtual meetings.
Despite the restrictions and protocols put in place to protect our residents, Charlestown continues to remain open for business. The dedication and hard work of all the townâs staff, under the leadership of Town Administrator Mark Stankiewicz, has provided us with continuity during this difficult time.
