HADLEY — Only essential services will be available in-person at the Hadley Senior Center until early January following a decision by the Select Board Dec. 17 to close the building to the public.
Citing the concerning rise in COVID-19 cases across the region in recent weeks, and anticipating the possibility of a similar spike following Christmas, the board voted 4-0, with Jane Nevinsmith abstaining, to keep the center shuttered until the board meets again on Jan. 6.
The decision also closes Town Hall to the public, though that building had been open to residents only by appointment.
