Polls are open tomorrow Tuesday December 13 at Samuel Staples School from 6am-8-pm.

Let’s finally get this done-Citizens for Easton was actually formed in 1972 to oppose a high density deveopment on this same property 50 years ago!

It is important to come out and actually vote in this referendum to demonstrate just how strongly Easton residents feel about  land preservation for now, and for the future!
