SOUTHWICK – The Select Board approved hosting a Special Town Meeting in January and converting the town planner position from part-time to full-time during its meeting Monday night.
“I’m going to keep saying how much we need a full-time planner to help with zoning and moving the town forward in a positive direction,” said Chief Administrative Officer Nicole Parker about her proposal to increase the hours of the planner position.
The board discussed the planning position being converted into full time and adding the responsibility to serve as the town’s economic development director in earnest during at its last meeting with Board member Doug Moglin making it clear he was against the proposal.
