Select Board previews comprehensive‑plan survey and solicits open‑space committee picks
Summary
The Select Board said a new 20‑year comprehensive plan survey will go out in early September and listed names submitted for an open‑space and recreation committee and for an Ashley Falls Historic District Commission vacancy.
The Select Board announced the launch of a comprehensive planning process, including a community survey expected to go out in early September and outreach plans tied to Sheffield Days and school communication to broaden participation. The board emphasized the survey's role in shaping a 20‑year plan and asked residents to engage to ensure the plan represents town needs.
The chair listed volunteer names submitted for an open‑space and recreation committee (Ronnie Amarkam, Tom Ingersoll, Don Ward, Larissa Yapel, Elizabeth Carey, Dominic Colombo, Megan Smith and Kathy Orlando) and said the board will select seven members at a subsequent meeting. The board also said two people (Pat Levine and Fred Garretson) applied for a full position on the Ashley Falls Historic District Commission; the commission's position is identified in the enabling law as ideally requiring an architect, which the board will factor into its choice.
