Meghan Efland this week presided over her first meeting as the newly elected mayor of Chestertown, urging residents to “speak up” and make it known as to “what you want from us.” The Evening Enterprise reports Efland promised to listen; to communicate openly; and to ensure that “every decision we make reflects the values and the needs of all our residents.” She said over the coming months, the focus will be on updating the town’s strategic plan; addressing deferred maintenance; and making sure investments are equitable across all four wards.
