Hadley Town Meeting will decide on river campsites, levee study, budget
By SCOTT MERZBACH
HADLEY Formalizing a process to give landowners the right to have multiple campsites along the Connecticut River, and continuing a study to protect Hadley center from possible floods, will be decided by voters at annual Town Meeting Saturday.
The 28-article warrant, including an $18.06 million omnibus budget, begins Saturday at 1 p.m. in the playing fields next to Hopkins Academy.
The Planning Board-sponsored article related to dealing with the recreational vehicles along the river revises the existing 1987 flood overlay district bylaw, instituting a fee of $100 per camper every three years, allowing multiple RVs on a site, and mandating that each site have at least 2,500 square feet of land and a minimum of 25 feet between campers.

Already facing a potential increase to their water rates, Cohasset residents’ wallets may be in for another hit in 2022.
An article on the warrant for the upcoming Annual Town Meeting on May 24 is proposing an increase to the town’s current sewer rates.
The increase will be the first since 2017, but will come at no small cost, with a proposed jump of 10%.
After staving off increases for four years, Sewer Commission Chairman Bill McGowan said his board was left with no other option.
“There are a lot of issues that we are dealing with that are basically forcing us into a rate increase,” said McGowan.
