    • Current residents of the town: A household in which one or more members is living in the city or town at the time of application. Documentation of residency should be provided, such as rent receipts, utility bills, street listing or voter registration listings.
    • Municipal Employees of the town: Employees of the municipality, such as teachers, janitors, firefighters, police officers, librarians, or town hall employees.
    • Employees of Local Businesses: Employees of businesses located in the

    If “Yes”, please provide the appropriate supporting documentation.

     

    For local preference, one of the following must be provided:

     

    • A utility bill dated within the past 60 days (electric, gas, oil, cable, interest, telephone, or cell phone bill)
    • A current signed lease agreement
