• a special election set for November 2025 will be held to decide the seats of both Hardesty and Burrell, since they are filling the seats of unfulfilled terms.
• the town council discussed the acquisition of sewer aid sizzle and ice melt products to aid the town's operations.
• Mayor Persinger noted that she would be on hand for proclamation signings for MS Awareness Month and Alleghany Highlands Clean Up Month.
• Mayor Persinger indicated that the town would request the assistance of the town of Clifton Forge in changing out its flags for Rte. 220, sometime in April.
• the town is also attempting to clarify an alley issue near Home Clark's former property to determine proper boundary lines.
• and finally, the town will proceed to change the number of town council seats from six to four in the coming months. That will involve legislature approval and a great deal of documentation and legal issues.
