Colrain signs hazard-mitigation contract, appoints planning committee

Town of Colrain Select Board · June 16, 2026

Summary

The Select Board approved members for a Hazardous Mitigation Planning Committee after signing a contract for an update to the town's Hazardous Mitigation Plan and drafting a consultant RFP; the board prefers an open solicitation instead of defaulting to FRCOG.

At the June 16 meeting the Select Board confirmed the FY27 SCF Colrain MTTA contract has been signed to update the town's Hazardous Mitigation Plan and approved appointments to a required planning committee. Town Administrator Diana Parsons said the work is expected to commence after the new year and that the board had drafted an RFP for a consultant; she expressed a preference for a broader solicitation rather than automatically using the Franklin Regional Council of Governments (FRCOG).

The board unanimously appointed Diana Parsons, Emergency Management Director Nina Anzuoni, Fire Chief Nick Anzuoni, Police Chief Chris Lannon, Nate Gilbert and Barbara Griffin to the Hazardous Mitigation Planning Committee. "The contract has been signed and an RFP for a consultant will be brought to the next meeting," Parsons said. The board agreed the RFP and selection process will be on a future agenda.
