Summary
The Select Board announced a combined flu and COVID clinic at Town Hall on Oct. 18, asked a resident to contact Williamstown about transfer-station access, and recorded updates on a fallen tree affecting town fiber, a private-property beaver problem, and an intersection inquiry.
The New Ashford Select Board recorded several service and operational updates at its Aug. 25 meeting.
The Public Health Nurse will hold a combined flu and COVID-19 vaccine clinic at New Ashford Town Hall on Oct. 18 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. The board did not provide vaccine types, eligibility criteria, or appointment details in the meeting minutes; residents should contact the town for specifics.
Select Board member Ken McInerney asked participant Chris Lamarre to check whether the neighboring town of Williamstown would be open to discussing New Ashford residents’ use of its transfer station. No formal request or agreement was recorded; the board directed Mr. Lamarre to seek Williamstown’s feedback.
Chair Jason Jayko said he is still awaiting a quote for a proposed fire-station addition; the item will appear on the next meeting agenda when the quote arrives. The board noted a fallen tree has damaged the town fiber network and tasked Ken McInerney with reporting the damage to the appropriate service vendor.
Resident Keith Lacasse reported Fish and Wildlife had contacted him about a beaver problem on private property; the board clarified that the beaver is on private property and the property owner is responsible. Lacasse also said he had contacted Dave Stokes about changing the Roys Road/Route 7 intersection and is awaiting a response.
The meeting concluded with the board signing a letter endorsing a northern rail connection and setting its next meeting for Sept. 8, 2025, at 6:30 p.m.
