NORTHFIELD MERGER COMMITTEE
In response to a non-binding resolution at the March 2006 Annual Town Meeting, the Northfield Boards of Town Selectmen and Village Trustees formed a Merger Committee in order to explore the possible merger of Northfield Town and Northfield Village into one political entity.
To date, the Merger Committee has reviewed previous merger attempts as well as the financial, administrative, and other implications of a Town/Village merger. The Merger Committee has made a special effort to address the concerns of the Northfield community should the question of Town/Village Merger be put before the voters again in the near future.
The Merger Committee at present is comprised of two Town Selectmen, two Village Trustees, and five community members. The current members of the Merger Committee are:
|
Selectman Melvin Adams (Chair) |
Stephen Jeffrey |
|
Trustee Richard Suitor (Vice-Chair) |
Jay Pedley |
|
Selectman Gregory Sanders |
Frank Plumley |
|
Trustee James Wilson |
Michael Popowski |
| Arlington Supplee |
The Merger Committee holds regular meetings on the 3rd Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Northfield Municipal Building (51 South Main Street). Interested members of the public are strongly encouraged to attend.
