Select Board Update What We’ve Been Doing Recently Dispatch for July
by The Select Board Published July 1, 2024.

The Select Board continues to dedicate its time and energy toward projects that support public safety, better Town infrastructure, and increase the overall quality of life in Town. Recent activities include:

The Town has gained a $6,000/month credit on interest bearing accounts as a result of the Financial Investment Policy.
The Heat Pump Grant has been completed. Solar-powered heat pumps have been installed at Town Hall for heat and A/C, which has provided substantial cost savings. A backup generator was also installed, assuring no loss of progress or service during operating hours.
New roofs have been installed at the Library, Old Town Hall, and Police Station. It is important to address these types of projects in a timely manner to protect our existing Town buildings. Old Town Hall is on the schedule for an exterior paint job.
Transfer Station hours returned to 19 hours per week beginning July 1: Wednesday: 12:00-5:00 p.m.; Saturday: 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.; Sunday: 11:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m.
Resurfacing of Route 57 is set to begin on the first or second week of July; expect delays in travel. Paving will be done one lane at a time; the road will not be closed in its entirety. Visit www.sandisfieldma.gov for updates.

The Select Board has moved into its summer session of meeting at Town Hall bi-weekly for the months of July and August, 6:30 p.m. It is available to observe or take part over Zoom (sign up for agenda notification at sandisfieldma.gov.)
