Staff ReportsPrint Story | Email Story
The 1986 GMC being sold by the Fire Department needs some maintenance.

LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — The town is selling two former Fire Department trucks.

The vehicles are a 1983 Chevrolet Blazer and a 1986 GMC Forest Fire truck. 
 
The Blazer is being sold as is with a minimum bid of $250. The truck is for parts or scrap. The forest fire vehicle is in usable condition.
 
The vehicle is in need of maintenance but has only 30,761 miles on it. A minimum bid for that is $1,600. 
 
The vehicles are parked behind the fire station. Sealed bids are due to the town secretary at Town Hall by noon on March 31.
 
The Selectmen do have the right to reject any and all bids.
 
The board members have already rejected one set of bids because they felt they were too low. They added the minimum bid requirement. 
 
"We were only offered $1,500. I believe the trucks are worth more," said Chairman John Goerlach.

Lanesborough Open Space and Recreation Plan Survey

LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — The town of Lanesborough is seeking input on its upcoming Open Space and Recreation Plan.

The town's Open Space and Recreation Plan Advisory Committee is asking the public to complete a 20-question survey about the community's outdoor recreation and conservation priorities, needs, and desires. The survey is open to both residents and visitors until Dec. 12.

The survey is on the town's website and at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LanesboroughOSRP. Paper copies are also available at the library and at town hall.

The responses will inform the committee's development of policies and strategies that the town and local partners will implement during the next 10 years to achieve the community's open space and recreation goals. Additionally, the town's updated Open Space and Recreation Plan will make the town eligible for state funding to improve its recreational facilities and protect natural resources.

For more information, contact Committee Chair Stacy Parsons at lanesboroughconservation@gmail.com and/or Berkshire Regional Planning Commission Community Planner Andrew McKeever at amckeever@berkshireplanning.org.
