To the Editor:

April 28, 2026
I am writing to offer my strong support for Christine Hoyt and her re-election to the Adams Board of Selectmen. Over her nine years of service — including stints as chair and vice chair — she has built a deep understanding of the town's needs and developed relationships that directly benefit Adams.

Christine has been a steady leader focused on maintaining essential services, strengthening fiscal stability, supporting local businesses, and advancing important projects like the Adams Theater and Greylock Glen. She understands that there is still more work to be done, particularly in areas like infrastructure, economic development, and housing. However, this is exactly why her continued leadership is so important — we cannot afford to lose the valuable knowledge, experience, and continuity she brings at this critical time.


Beyond her resume, Christine stands out for how she serves. She genuinely cares about the residents and visitors of the town, as well as the town's employees. Collaborative by nature, she consistently steps into leadership roles when needed and is a trusted resource for those seeking guidance on town matters. She is always professional, prepared, and thoughtful in addressing the issues that come before the board. I don't think that those are skill sets we can afford to lose at this time.

Christine Hoyt provides the experience, dedication, and steady leadership that Adams needs to keep moving forward. I strongly encourage voters to support her re-election on Monday, May 4.

Adams Fire Plans to Keep Public Informed on Station

By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff

ADAMS, Mass. — The Prudential Committee hopes to invite the public to see the fire station and explain its needs.

The Fire District is trying to address the deteriorating building and is moving forward with a needs assessment by Jacunski Humes Architects, a company that specializes in public safety design. The $8,000 for this was approved at the annual meeting earlier this year. 

The first order of the process is the space needs assessment. Fire Chief David Lennon and Water Superintendent John Barrett at the July 27 meeting discussed inviting the public to tour the building as they start the assessment.

In other news, the Fire Department hired a full-time firefighter and three on-call firefighters.

The board discussed new jackets for employees who are 65 and older to signify and distinguish them when at a scene. This is to prevent the Fire Department from running afoul of a state law mandating retirement of active firefighters at age 65. 

The district is also still mulling expanding the district townwide. It currently does not cover areas of the town that are not on the water system but the Fire Department responds to any fire and emergency calls within the town's borders.
