Williamstown Select Board Discusses Plans of Action

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Select Board on Monday discussed the its priorities for the 2024-25 session and projects on which individual members of the board want to focus in the year ahead.
 
As a starting point for the conversation, Chair Stephanie Boyd pointed the panel to the comprehensive plan adopted in November 2023 by the Planning Board.
 
"The comprehensive plan, overall, is managed by the Planning Board, but a lot of the initiatives involve more than just the Planning Board to work on," Boyd said. "Some are outside the work of the Planning Board."
 
Boyd included in the packet for Monday's meeting the plan's implementation matrix, a spreadsheet of about 110 action items pulled from the 70-page document.
 
"This is a tool for us to use or not as we see fit," she said.
 
Shana Dixon noted that the comprehensive plan, titled "Envisioning Williamstown 2035," is just one tool at the board's disposal.
 
"The CARES Report," Dixon said. "I wanted to see how it aligns with this plan. We received that report and haven't touched base on anything that's in there. … I just feel like there's something in there that can work with what we have in front of us.
