Important Census Update for Franklin County 

At its March 30, 2020 meeting, The Shutesbury Select Board voted to reschedule the Shutesbury’s Annual Election and Town Meeting for Saturday, June 27, 2020.  This vote followed the passage of new measures to allow towns to reschedule elections under Chapter 45 of the Acts of 2020 by the State legislature on March 23, 2020.

The legislation has increased opportunities for Absentee Voting or Early Voting by mail.

We are counting on residents using the honor system in these unusual times.

If you run out of town trash bags prior to the distribution of the new, annual supply of town trash bags, it is okay to use an alternate, similar sized bag, such as a black trash bag.  Alternate bags will be picked up by our trash and recycling hauler until distribution resumes.
