The Burg Bucks program, which wrapped up on Nov. 15, kept Hinesburg residents spending locally and generated over $20,000 in total revenue for local businesses.

More voters voted in 2020 than in any previous Hinesburg Election, with three-quarters of the town’s registered voters casting a ballot. About 3,146 voted, according to unofficial results from Town Clerk Missy Ross. And about 71.6% of those (2,238) voted by mail.
