Egremont Planning Board backed a three-component EOHLC grant proposal for housing activation, trust implementation, and site feasibility work. The board allocated roughly $59,000 in funding; members John Lanterman and Stephen Lyle emphasized moving toward specific sites and construction rather than procedural work. The board reaffirmed three-tier site plan review fees at $250, $500, and $750 and reached consensus on a $350 special permit administrative fee plus actual notice costs.
Clean-energy siting and battery-storage regulation were flagged as time-sensitive priorities.
