Public Hearing - Tuesday, February 6, 2018

The Brookfield Board of Selectmen will conduct a Public Hearing on February 6, 2018 at 7:00 PM at Brookfield Town Hall, 6 Central Street, in the Banquet Room. The public is encouraged to attend this hearing to discuss the Town’s FY 2018 application to the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development for up to $800,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds. Should the meeting be cancelled due to inclement weather or for another reason, the hearing will be postponed to February 13, 2018 at 7:00 PM at the same location.

The Town of Brookfield is seeking public input on potential grant-funded projects. Potential projects under development for the application currently include 1) a housing rehabilitation program and 2) construction of drainage, water, and pavement improvements in the Hayden Avenue and Hyde Street neighborhood. These projects were identified as priorities that are consistent with Brookfield's Community Development Strategy.

All persons with questions or comments regarding the grant application will have an opportunity to be heard. Those unable to attend may send written comments to the Brookfield Board of Selectmen, 6 Central Street, Brookfield, MA 01506. If awarded, the Central Massachusetts Planning Commission (CMRPC) will assist the Town with grant implementation and administration.

The Banquet Room in Brookfield Town Hall is handicapped accessible. Persons who require special accommodations to attend the public meeting should contact the Selectmen's office at (508) 867-2930 at least two business days prior to the hearing.
