It also calls for Banger or his designee to waive some town code provisions to support businesses and residents and mitigate the financial impact upon the town.
The declaration also provides for the town to apply for financial relief that it qualifies for and to limit utility shutoffs to residents and businesses during the emergency while working out reasonable repayment plans.
