As tributes continue to pour in about Peter Elwell following the announcement of his retirement as Brattleboroâs Town Manager at the end of the year, we have been hearing lots about his remarkable efforts in financial planning over the six years of his tenure, and about his commitment to human resource development. But, perhaps beyond anything else, Peterâs tenure has been one of deep personal engagement with our community, his community, an engagement characterized by deep and abiding compassion.
When Brattleboro voted to become part of the international Charter for Compassion, Peter expressed delight saying, âAny reasonable person would support thisâ. He asked to meet with those who had organized the initiative to discuss follow-up and, as he began drafting the Selectboard Resolution, told us, âI look forward to joining your effort to promote compassion in every way we can here in Brattleboroâ.

BRATTLEBORO â Facilitators hired by the town for the Community Safety Review process are preparing to bring forward their findings before making their recommendations.
On Monday, the Community Safety Review Committee spent some time looking at Brattleboroâs fiscal year 2022 general fund budget proposed by town staff and currently being reviewed by the Select Board at meetings. The spending plan will be considered for approval at annual Representative Town Meeting in March.
âThis is just an orientation,â Shea Witzberger, one of the two facilitators, said at the committee meeting held remotely Monday. âNext week weâre going to share a whole lot more with you about the substance of what we learned by listening and combing through statistics and data.â
