Thank you. This subject is on our August 26 agenda. All Selectboard members have received information, including a CD “Valley Vision 2.” I hope you can attend our August 26 meeting.

Subject: Fwd: Green Resources online

Bob, Catherine Miller of PVPC sent these sites. I would think these would be VERY IMPORTANT RESOURCES for each of select board members to look at and be informed about as you/they deliberate about town issues. They are also up on CPAC site under references and resources. I found them fascinating. Let's get on board and be a part of the Western Mass network for sustainable practices. South Hadley is one of the 43 communities that signed on to participate, per last year's select board decision. Part of our participation will require on going education about what this all means. It's really our only way forward under current circumstances. Martha
