Sept. 14: Deerfield hosting info session on municipal campus plan

DEERFIELD — The town is hosting a public meeting on Thursday, Sept. 14, at 6 p.m. that will be focused on sharing the South Deerfield municipal campus plan and collecting resident feedback.

The meeting will be held at Town Hall, 8 Conway St., and residents will hear from town officials and engineering firm VHB, which will share high-level concepts for future development of the area.

Over the last few years, town officials have begun planning for the revitalization of South Deerfield with a major focus on a municipal campus near the 1888 Building — the former South County Senior Center. The goal is to increase accessibility, connectivity and walkability of South Deerfield with a new town hall, a community/senior center, senior housing and a redone town common, alongside the newly renovated Tilton Library.

Final Conway Transfer Station Forum set for Sept. 14

CONWAY — The final public forum regarding changes to Transfer Station policies will be held on Thursday, Sept. 14, at 6 p.m. at Town Hall, 5 Academy Hill Road.

Residents will be briefed on the new Transfer Station policies, which were approved in May. To access the Transfer Station and dispose of their trash, residents will need to purchase a $20 windshield decal, which includes 104 trash bag stickers for the year.

Once residents have a windshield decal, they can use their trash bag stickers at the station to dispose of trash bags. One sticker can be used for two 13- to 16-gallon kitchen bags or a single 33-gallon trash bag, while a contractor bag holding up to 64 gallons requires two stickers. If someone uses all 104 trash bag stickers for the year — the Selectboard set the number at an estimated two stickers per week — they can purchase more from Town Hall.

Stickers are now available at Town Hall. The new policy goes into effect on Oct. 7.
