The next meeting of the Small Town Summit will be held on Thursday, January 11, 2018 (snow date Thursday, January 18, 2018) at 7pm in the Dalton Town Hall, 462 Main Street, Dalton, MA 01226.
Since its launch by the Charlemont Select Board in April 2016, the Small Town Summit has brought together more than 70 rural municipal leaders from more than 30 towns around western Massachusetts to work on issues of common concern. Attendees have drafted a list of legislative priorities and have a workgroup focused on payments for state-owned land. Rural Commonwealth, a statewide nonprofit focused on strengthening the 170 small towns around Massachusetts, began coordinating Summit meetings in August 2017.
We currently are working on agenda for the upcoming Summit meeting. Since your towns are near Dalton, we wanted to reach out to you in particular to both invite you to join us in Dalton and ask if there are any issues of particular concern you would like Summit attendees to discuss (whether you can attend or not). We will use this information to help draft the meeting agenda, which we will post on our website by Friday, January 5.
We hope to hear from you with agenda items and seeing you on January 11 in Dalton.
