On January 8, the Charlestown Town Council, with the exception of Susan Cooper, changed the Zoning Ordinance to allow an additional or accessory dwelling unit to be added to any residential lot in town, no matter how small the lot, and to allow any of the new units to be used as short term or seasonal rentals.

Charlestown once rejected partisan divisions and, in turn, enjoyed a decade of smooth, open, good, and responsive government that provided low taxes and good schools while maintaining a high quality of life. Now, the current Town Council characterizes information as lies and is ignoring the preferences of residents expressed in the 2021 Community Survey.
