“The ‘A’ Fresh Start Initiative was introduced by council in order to encourage organizations or individuals to develop new events in the Town of Amherst or enhance existing ones,” Mayor David Kogon, said when the winners were announced on Monday June 28, 2021, during council’s monthly session.
Proposed revisions to the Town of Amherst’s Dangerous and Unsightly Premises Policy are headed to Amherst town council’s June 28, 2021, meeting, with a recommendation that they be approved.
The decision to send to the revisions to council was made on June, 21, 2021, during a session of the council’s committee of the whole.
The current policy reflects a level of dangerous or unsightly premises that is complaint based rather than proactive. One of the revisions will require the dangerous and unsightly premises administrator to survey all town streets at least twice a year in order to identify dangerous or unsightly premises.
