Orton Family Foundation
The
Orton Family Foundation engages and assists citizens
and officials of

one another and to the community as a whole. These
heart and soul elements are then used to drive future decisions to
ensure that land use plans and decisions are designed to retain and
enhance the town’s heart and soul - its character - as change occurs.
