STOCKBRIDGE â A high-stakes race for a Select Board post, a four-way contest for two Planning Board seats, and a challenge to the town moderator who has held the position for 43 years, highlight the annual town election.
The campaign has reflected the split in town between residents who prioritize retaining open space and restricting large-scale development and others who are more hospitable to growth, additional housing and population increases, especially young families.
In-person voting is on Tuesday in the Senior Center on the ground floor of the Town Offices from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. There are 1,641 registered voters, said Town Clerk Terri Iemolini, and 45 voted early in person, while 52 others requested either early or absentee ballots.
