TO ALL
EGREMONT CITIZENS, RESIDENT AND NONRESIDENT
On Saturday, September 1, at 9:00 a.m., an open
meeting will be held at the South Egremont Congregational Church to establish
and organize a broad-based citizens group that will hold regularly scheduled meetings
and forums to learn about and discuss issues of importance to Egremont and its
citizens. Every Egremonter is invited
and encouraged to attend this open meeting.
Examples of topics
that the group might address at one or more meetings include:
- Broadband access and cell phone
service: How to get it for
everyone in Egremont as soon as possible
- The town water company: Its costs and benefits, the subsidy by
town taxpayers, and possible alternatives
- Our
schools: They’re 40% of our town
budget; possible closing of the satellite schools
- Large capital items and their
cost: The police station, fire
equipment and a community center
- Zoning: What changes should be made to our zoning bylaw
- Other issues of interest to the group
We also plan to hold
candidate forums for town offices.
Please join us on
September 1. An enlightened citizenry
can make Egremont better.
