From the Desk of Michael Canales, Town Administrator

The Town of Stockbridge is nearing the final stage of drafting a comprehensive Digital Equity Plan in collaboration with the neighboring communities of Great Barrington, Lee, Lenox, Sheffield, and West Stockbridge. This plan, once completed, will enable access to federal and state funding aimed at addressing the digital needs of our community, including enhancing computer skills, providing affordable devices, and ensuring online safety.

The development of this plan has been informed by input from many full-time residents through a statewide survey distributed earlier this year. However, for those who may have been out of town and missed the survey, we encourage you to participate by August 20th. Your input is crucial to ensuring that the digital needs of all Stockbridge residents are fully represented.
