Hardwick Selectmen Address Staffing and Infrastructure Siting Decisions

Hardwick, MA Board of Selectmen Meeting 8/29/22

1h 13m

The Hardwick Board of Selectmen convened to make crucial decisions regarding town administration and a vital infrastructure project. Angie Brassard was appointed as the Administrative Assistant to the Town Administrator, effective September 1st, following a positive recommendation. The board then engaged in extensive debate over the location of the new sewer pump station, ultimately voting to approve Site Option #2 near Greenwich Road. This decision was made under significant time pressure to meet USDA funding deadlines, despite resident concerns and a proposal for an alternative site. The board also formally accepted legal opinions concerning Article 97 and site plan review, and scheduled future meetings for the project's bid opening and award.
