Senior Programs Head for the Hills

A three-member Task Force from Ashfield will soon be working with the Shelburne Senior Center to bring programs for seniors to Ashfield. Select Board Chair Ted Murray explained that the Senior Center plans to move away from programs at the Senior Center in Shelburne Falls and more toward programs in the local towns. The task force is charged with helping them adapt their programs to Ashfield.

The task force members, appointed last night, are Helen Boyden, Linda Gougeon, and Janice Howes.

In other news, Murray said that the grant for a new firehouse under the Federal Stimulus Package has been denied. One of the factors the stimulus grants take into account in approving projects is the local unemployment rate, and Ashfield’s is apparently too low.
