Selectmen’s Informational Forum
Thank You
The Select Board would like to thank all residents who attended last week’s forum on November 28th regarding our proposal for a full time Police Chief. We appreciate your participation in the process, it’s very helpful with our decision making. Our goal was to provide you with as much information as possible and have a voice for town directives. We felt the forum was well attended and provided an opportunity for a good discussion of the proposal presented. We gained a lot of insight into the feelings of those who attended and thought it provided the opportunity for good questions and suggestions to be raised.
Over the coming weeks we will be researching the questions raised and look at possible alternative options. We plan to hold another forum in January to present our final proposal regarding our Police Department. We cannot stress enough that this will be a Town decision based on votes cast at Town Meeting. What will appear in the budget will represent what we feel is the best option for our town, but the final decision will rest with you.
For those who were not able to attend the forum there are copies of what was presented by us on the table located in the aisleway between the Town Hall and the Library
Cheshire Community Power will soon include Nelson.

The Town Offices are located in the Old Brick Schoolhouse, in the center of the Village. This was active as a school until 1946. It has been retrofitted to accommodate the modern day needs of small town government, but still holds considerable charm within. The Selectmen, Town Clerk, and Town Administrator all conduct their business here, as do other town boards unless a public hearing requires the larger space of the Town Hall next door.
Please click on the appropriate links to the right for more information about individual town boards.
Edie Drinkwater is the town’s executive administrative assistant. She can answer any questions you might have about how the town office works, and she can provide information about building permits, and other items requiring town interaction or approval.
