Select Board votes to close town offices and allow remote work ahead of expected snowstorm
Summary
The Select Board approved a motion to close the town offices the following day due to a forecast snowstorm and allowed office staff to work remotely; police, fire and DPW operations were excluded from the closure.
HUBBARDSTON, Mass. — The Select Board voted on Monday to close town offices the following day because of an expected snowstorm and to allow office staff to work remotely.
Speaker 4 moved that, due to snow, the town offices be closed and staff permitted to work remotely; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. Board members clarified the closure applied only to town office staff — public safety and DPW personnel remain on duty.
Members instructed that staff quickly disseminate the closure information to all town employees and relevant community contacts. The board noted the library had already closed for the forecast and asked staff to text Mary and other key contacts to ensure broad notification.
The motion was recorded in the meeting minutes as carried by voice vote; no roll‑call tally was given in the public transcript.
