Planning board considers editing Master Plan wording about the Charlemont Inn
Summary
At the Aug. 7 meeting, Charlotte Dewey recommended changing the Master Plan language on the Charlemont Inn to avoid describing its bankruptcy and to note that it was condemned by the Board of Health; the board agreed to check with staff member Sarah before asking consultants to amend the text.
Charlotte Dewey presented a proposed edit to the town’s Master Plan concerning the Charlemont Inn during the board’s Aug. 7 meeting, urging the board to reword a passage that mentions the Inn’s bankruptcy and how it was condemned.
Dewey advised that the plan should clarify that the Inn was condemned by the Board of Health (BOH) rather than by the Building Inspection program, and suggested simplifying the passage to state that the Charlemont Inn “has been closed since Thanksgiving 2011 and is awaiting renovations.” Liz Bouyea noted that the board should check with Sarah — identified in the transcript as a staff member who uses the Master Plan to pursue grants — before making edits.
The board agreed to ask Sarah whether she supports the change and, if she does, to contact Dodson and Flinker to implement the revision. The transcript does not record a finalized text change, a vote, or any grant outcomes tied to the edit.
