Though Albany is the second-largest town in the state in size, it has only about 730 residents. Trying to reach out to all of these folks is what brings the selectmen out to all areas of our town.
On Wednesday, the selectmen met at the chapel in Wonalancet. This was the second year they have taken to the road to meet with townspeople all over Albany.
