Print Story | Email Story

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.

Incumbent Steven Miller is the first candidate to return papers with the required number of signatures.
 
Another incumbent, Carolyn Greene, and a newcomer, Laurel Bifano, also have taken out papers.
 
Two of four seats designated for Williamstown residents and two of three seats designated for Lanesborough residents will be on the ballot in November.
 
As of Tuesday, no resident of Lanesborough had taken out nomination papers, Superintendent Joe Bergeron reported.
