The rising Wilton Ambulance contract, building a relationship with new Crotched Mountain School operators Gersh Autism, and expanding broadband infrastructure are some of the challenges the Town of Greenfield faces in 2021.
Greenfield’s budget hearing, a preliminary step towards addressing those challenges, is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 4 at 5:30 p.m. in advance of a May 1 Town Meeting, to be held outdoors in Oak Park.
Wilton Ambulance, which began serving Greenfield last year, is billing Greenfield $97,135 in 2021 as compared to $57,800 last year.

The Crotched Mountain School in Greenfield underwent a tumultuous year in 2020: COVID-19 nearly stressed the financially struggling institution to closure, before a new organization stepped in to purchase the 650 acre mountaintop operation and keep providing services for people with disabilities.
The COVID-19 pandemic hit Crotched Mountain early, infecting three residents and 11 staff members in late March, which resulted in the death of one resident, a 46-year-old man with significant disabilities and a history of respiratory complications.
Like many other longstanding entities, the pandemic’s financial stressors proved to be too much for the institution, which had been struggling financially for many years. The Crotched Mountain Foundation’s Board of Directors announced their intent to close the campus by the end of the year in late June, prompting shock and grief from families of students, current and past staff
