[ARCHIVED] New straw ordinance adopted by Town Council

Plastic Straws NO

A new ordinance was adopted by Town Council on November 1 to allow an environmentally friendly new alternative to petroleum-based plastic straws and paper-based straws. 

The Town’s original straw ordinance in 2017 banned plastic straws. This new ordinance replaces the original one.
