# Special Meeting of Precincts 1,3,9 October 29, 2026

Greenfield City Council precinct meeting for Precincts 1, 3, and 9, held October 29, 2026, covered neighborhood concerns and city finances. Residents discussed a proposed development on roughly 30 acres near the Green River, potential effects on stormwater, water resources, and wildlife, and traffic and intersection safety. Officials also discussed G-set broadband expansion, noting construction progress along Colrain Road and that pole access requires Verizon approval; no service completion date was provided. A participant reported that one RFP had been issued May 8, with responses due December 14; the transcript does not make the solicitation’s scope clear, and no vendor selection or award was discussed.

On spending and capital planning, officials described the city’s five-year capital plan, debt pressures, and the need to manage future costs for water and sewer, schools, public safety facilities, and other infrastructure. The finance director cited an approximately 4.1% current rate and said officials were considering pausing or restructuring some long-term borrowing; no related vote was taken. A councilor said a rental-registry ordinance passed the previous month and that its fees are intended to fund a full-time health inspector. No procurement award or purchasing approval occurred at this meeting.
