Select Board · Meeting of October 13, 2026

Lanesborough Select Board heard Algonquin Street residents object to a stormwater concept near Pontoosuc Lake. Vice Chair Juli Baker ran the meeting while Chair Deborah Maynard attended by Zoom. Resident Tim Wilson asked how the town would compensate owners if lots lose buildable status.

Allison Dixon of the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission said "No site has been designated" in its 604B grant application, with awards expected in January. The board separately heard JMJ and its lawyers say the mall sale to Cypress needs a tax-dispute settlement, appointed David Raleigh as its MVP 2.0 representative and approved Halloween trick-or-treating from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. October 31.

It voted 5-0 to enter executive session on non-union personnel.
