The Town of Brattleboro is pleased to announce the launch of its first-ever podcast, "Town Matters." Hosted by Town Manager John Potter, this new series will provide listeners with brief updates about town government. The show aims to inform the public and encourage active participation in local affairs.  "Town Matters" will be published during the week between Selectboard meetings and provide a brief overview of the previous meeting along with a preview of the next one. As the show develops, staff hope to incorporate other updates from around town and feature guest hosts.

After four rounds in a March Madness-style tournament against 15 other North American cities, Brattleboro won the title Strongest Town in North America. Voters from an international audience selected Brattleboro to win the 8th annual Strongest Town Contest based on its dedication to Strong Towns principles, such as transparent local accounting, building safe and productive streets, encouraging incremental housing, eliminating parking mandates, and ending highway expansions.
