Just an update as to where we are with this year’s 2025 Summer Market. As always, growing a Market with a new schedule is never easy, since most Vendors have committed to specific days with other Markets. However that does not mean the well has run dry and affords new Vendors the opportunity to hop on board. With that said, I have attached our new schedule with dates, hours and locations.

We will have Vendors that will bring fruit, vegetables, eggs, baked goods, breads, honey, crafts and more. Some are returning Vendors and others totally new!!!

I am excited and continue to recruit Vendors., I have visited in person a bunch of Farms and will continue to do so to provide the best selections to offer our Local Customers and those that travel to Durham to experience a small town Market.

So ALL come out and Support the Vendors that are here bringing you their labors of food and crafts.

I will be providing weekly updates on Vendor attendees for you following and shopping!

Thank You for your patience……

NOTICE OF REVALUATION

As required by state law, the Town of Durham is revaluing all properties in town. Durham's most recent revaluation was completed for the 2020 Grand List.

eQuality Valuation Services, LLC (hereinafter “eQuality”) of Waterbury, Connecticut, has been contracted by the Town of Durham to assist the Assessor in conducting the October 1st, 2025, revaluation. Under the Assessor's supervision, employees of eQuality will collect and analyze information about all properties. An important part of the valuation process involves measuring the outside and listing the interior of each improved parcel.

A Data Collector will visit your property. A list of Data Collectors is to the right of this Notice under "Resources", "Related Documents". Each Data Collector will carry photo identification and the original letter of introduction. Their cars will be registered with the State Police and Durham Resident Troopers. After making a complete inspection, property owners may be asked to sign a form. The signature is only a verification of inspection and does not commit the homeowner in any way. The inspection will take between 10 to 15 minutes.

Additional information regarding the Revaluation Process can be found at www.townofdurhamct.org/subpages/revaluation-information.

Respectfully,

John Philip, Assessor
