Hamlet Budget Approved with Only One Cut

The Town of Hamlet’s 2018 budget has finally been approved by the Department of Local Government Finance. Clerk-Treasurer Kristina Pitts told the town council last week that the town got most of what it requested. “The only one that they cut us was Park, which was by $1,045,” she explained. “We asked for $13,600, I think, and they gave us $12,555.”

Council members expressed satisfaction with the town’s approved budget.
