Pittsfield Select Board meeting highlights from Oct. 6, 2015

PITTSFIELD — Bill Oren asked the town to consider adopting an ordinance prohibiting fireworks and voiced his concerns about the sign in the Village Green that he feels is advertising for private businesses.

The Riverside Horse Farm Act 250 hearing has been recessed, pending additional information from Riverside Horse Farm.

The Pittsfield Town Plan has been approved with no additional changes.

Bill Leimgruber presented a letter to the Select Board stating his disproval of the Select Board’s actions on his original petition and a new petition against the proposed Tweed River Park with 35 names (25 of which were registered voters in Pittsfield).
