Summary

HCR210 is a House Concurrent Resolution aimed at honoring Laureen Cox, the Chair of the Ripton Selectboard, for her remarkable contributions to municipal public service. The resolution recognizes Cox's dedication over a span of four decades, during which she made significant impacts through her leadership and civic engagements in the Ripton community. Her tenure is marked by achievements, including her proactive approach during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic and severe weather events that caused notable damage to the town.
