Residents may apply for exemptions year-round, however, they must apply<br />
by Thursday, April 1, to receive the benefits for <strong>2021</strong>. Regular and Floating<br />

were changing rapidly and I figured I needed<br />
to stay ahead of the game."<br />
Hunter taught herself how to crochet and the<br />
rest is now a Facebook and Etsy story.<br />
