The Hardwick Select Board convened to address a range of municipal matters, including acting as the Sewer Commission and reviewing regulations. Key discussions involved progress on the Hatrick Road pump station, ongoing efforts to control invasive species in Harwood Pond, and securing additional funding for its preservation. The Board made several appointments, including Kristen Dukas to the Parks and Recreation Committee and Alisa Ayers as Treasurer Collector, and approved a reduction in the Master Plan Steering Committee membership. A public hearing was held for National Grid and Verizon pole petitions, with approvals granted for specific installations and relocations. Significant time was dedicated to a proposed 9-acre conservation restriction on Prouty Road, which was ultimately tabled for further discussion on public access. The meeting also covered updates on town office renovations, health insurance options, and the status of Quabbin legislation, concluding with a commitment to transparency and future action items.
