You might want to look into Substack, which is a blogging platform, technically, but sends blog posts out as email. So it functions like an e-newlsetter. It's free to use and (unless you turned on a paid option) would be free to subscribers.<BR>
<BR>
I use it for my blog and find it very user-friendly and intuitive.<BR>

Dear fellow planners:<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
The Montague Planning Department is interested to create an e-newsletter for community members who wish to sign-up to receive emails about Planning Department news, updates, upcoming events, and more.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
I am hoping to find a platform that is either free or low budget that provides a design/layout template. Does anyone have recommendations to provide?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Any guidance would be much appreciated!<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Sincerely,<BR>
<BR>
