Voters in Halifax on Town Meeting Day will consider amendments to the town's zoning bylaws. 

Vermont towns have been grappling with the cost of clean-up and repairs from Tropical Storm Irene. They're hoping most of the tab will be paid by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, but it's a slow process.

The Agency of Transportation is almost finished repairing state roads that were swept away by Irene. But officials are concerned about how they'll hold up come spring, and in many towns dozens of bridges and sections of road are still closed.  

Cities and towns across Vermont have begun to receive checks from FEMA to help them repair Tropical Storm Irene damage. The amounts are just a drop in the bucket for many communities. But town officials are struggling to pay for multi-million dollar repairs, and they're happily taking the money.
