HADLEY More campers will be allowed by right to be parked along the Connecticut River after voters at annual Town Meeting on Saturday unanimously approved revisions to a 1980s-era flood overlay district bylaw.
While the change institutes a fee of $100 per camper every three years, and mandates that each site have at least 2,500 square feet of land and a minimum of 25 feet between campers, multiple RVs on a site are allowed for the first time.
During the 2½-hour meeting on a humid afternoon, voters easily adopted and passed 28 articles, including an $18.06 million municipal budget. They also approved Community Preservation Act spending that will create an emergency rental assistance program for people affected financially by COVID-19.
