And while some long-term projects reached some resolution in 2022, other issues ring in 2023 with questions still to be answered. Under new management The top story of last year took more than a full year to resolve but finally concluded in April when the Select Board selected Robert Menicocci to serve as the new town manager.

05:39AM / Monday, December 26, 2022 | |

Like I told people, though, it would just be one more thing to have a grievance about.” By about the midway point of the planned two-hour festivities, the rain and wind had arrived. By the time things 48 Comments

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Williamstown Community Preschool began sprucing up its new home by hiring local sign maker Lindsay Neathawk, owner of Neathawk Signs and Design, to create a 3D sign for the business.
