Wilmington Lowers Flags To Honor Corporal Norman Ronald Levesque
WILMINGTON — Wilmington lowered flags at Town Hall this week to honor Corporal Norman Ronald Levesque, one of several administrative notices the town posted through its official News Flash service alongside a change to yard waste ticket sales and a new push for resident input on cultural programming.
TOWN HALL
The town announced that flags at Wilmington Town Hall have been lowered in honor of Corporal Norman Ronald Levesque, according to a News Flash post on the town's website. No additional details were provided in the notice.
Separately, town officials announced that punch card tickets for the Wilmington Yard Waste Center are now sold exclusively at the Collector's Office, effective immediately. The notice did not specify a reason for the change but asked residents to plan accordingly before their next visit to the center.
The Wilmington Cultural Council also launched a resident survey this week, describing it as a two to three minute questionnaire meant to help shape the town's future cultural programming. The council's News Flash post urged residents to weigh in, saying "YOUR OPINION MATTERS." Elsewhere on the town calendar, Wednesday's scheduled Board of Health meeting was canceled, with the board's next session set for Thursday.
