Great Barrington considers sewer extension plan Aug meeting
Great Barrington set for an Aug 18 town meeting warrant featuring a proposal for the selectmen to borrow to build a sewer link from Christian Hill Road to a cleared nursing home site. Other articles ask pay raises for police, Planning Board reorganization under modern laws, and a roughly $3,000 allotment to pay interest on debts. A $75,000 bond proposal may be authorized, with Berkshire Hills Nursing Home expected to contribute about $15,000 toward a $100,000 project.
