P7 to co-host noise ordinance forum on February 12

Public forum regarding Greenfield noise issues takes place Thursday, February 12 at John Zon Community Center 

Residents and business owners concerned about noise disturbances in Greenfield will have an opportunity to discuss problems and potential solutions at a February 12 forum co-sponsored by the Precinct 7  Neighbors Network and the City Council’s Community Relations Committee. 

“For the last two years, P7 members have been researching solutions to mitigate noise disturbances in our own precinct as well as other parts of Greenfield,” said Kate Broughton of the P7 Neighbors Network. “We have looked at options from other communities both within and outside Massachusetts, and have spoken with several city department heads about the issues, especially enforcement challenges. The February 12 forum will include a summary of our findings, along with a panel discussion featuring Police Chief Todd Dodge, Health Department Director Michael Theroux, and Economic Development Director Amy Cahillane.”

After the panel discussion, a community brainstorming session will take place at tables where participants can discuss issues and offer their suggestions. At the end of the session, table summaries will be read to the forum audience.. 
NEXT STEPS … Residents and Greenfield business owners interested in joining the research group are encouraged to attend the forum and/or contact them at greenfieldnoise@gmail.com for more information.
