STOCKBRIDGE â In a move intended to protect residential areas from late-night music and noise, the Select Board has reinstated its policy of limiting annual entertainment licenses to an 11 p.m. curfew.
But, for weddings, late-running theater productions or special events, board Chairman Ernest âChuckieâ Cardillo encouraged destinations like Tanglewood, the Berkshire Theatre Festival and the Wheatleigh resort to apply for special licenses allowing extended hours, when needed. He indicated that such permits would be granted routinely and rapidly.
âIn the past, with the exception of last year, this is how we functioned in the residential zoning areas,â Select Board member Roxanne McCaffrey commented at the Dec. 17 remote meeting.
