Wells at one restaurant, a town hall and a water system in the Berkshires are severely contaminated. But most of the Berkshires has escaped serious contamination.
EGREMONT â Voters opted to ban several cannabis licenses in Egremont, although those proposals still need to garner majority support at next monthâs town meeting to take effect.
The six cannabis-related ballot questions effectively would prevent any additional retail stores from opening other than the locally owned Devine Berkshires, which already has been approved, and prohibit cultivator, product manufacturer, craft cooperative, delivery operator and transporter licenses in the town.
Residents voted 148-93 on Tuesday to limit retail, 144-97 to prohibit cultivators, 150-93 to prohibit product manufacturers, 145-96 to prohibit craft cooperatives, 139-100 to prohibit delivery operators and 144-95 to prohibit transporters, Town Clerk Juliette Haas said in an email.
The Egremont Democratic Committee invites residents to learn more about the annual town election candidates during Candidates & Cookies at 5 p.m. Thursday, April 29, at the French Park Pavilion. Committee members will be giving out prewrapped, homemade cookies.
Candidates attending and the offices they are running for include Stephen Lyle, Planning Board; Stephen Cohen, moderator; Francine Groener, assessor; Margaret Muskrat, Library trustee; and Juliette Haas, town clerk.
Face masks and social distancing will be required. This event will be held rain or shine.
RSVP is requested by emailing Alyson Slutzky, Egremont Democratic Committee chairwoman, at gummo18@gmail.com.
