The long-awaited Ashfield website, www.ashfield.org, (link not yet available) will be ready to go live within “a week or two,” according to Juliet Jacobson, chair of the Website Committee.
The site, as Jacobson showed the Select Board on Wednesday evening, will contain a wealth of information about Ashfield. You will be able to find meeting times (neatly organized on a calendar page), hours of operation for various town departments, and contact information for town officials. You’ll be able to download forms for anything from burn permits to dog licenses, or view the minutes of town board meetings. You can even find maps of hiking trails around town.
The Town Clerk will use the site to post warrants for the annual town meeting and special town meetings. The Police Chief Search Committee will even use the site to post the chief’s job description and application forms.
The site will also include links to various Ashfield organizations, such as the Belding Memorial Library, the Ashfield Historical Society or the Ashfield Town Common blog. Ashfield businesses are encouraged to submit links to their websites as well.
Jacobson stressed that the site, though “launchable,” is not finished. The committee is still seeking information from some town departments. Once the site is up, they will also invite feedback from the public – anything you would like to see, or see improved, on the site, please let them know.
The Select Board voted unanimously for the committee to go ahead with the launching of the site. The link will be provided here as soon as the site goes live.
