Hubbardston Enters Tri-Town Intermunicipal Agreement for Salt Brine Production System

Hubbardston, August 14, 2023 — Hubbardston Town Administrator Nathan Boudreau, Templeton Town Administrator Adam Lamontagne, and Winchendon Interim Town Manager Bill McKenney met to sign an Intermunicipal Agreement (IMA) for the establishment and operation of a Regional Salt Brine Production System. This collaborative initiative aims to enhance snow operations and overall regional safety.

Approved with unanimous support from the respective Select Boards, this innovative agreement marks a pivotal step towards optimizing snow management techniques for the municipalities by pooling resources, expertise, and infrastructure. This tri-town partnership guarantees more efficient and effective snow removal processes, ultimately ensuring improved road conditions, accessibility, and safety during winter weather events.

Town Administrator Nathan Boudreau of Hubbardston expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration: "This Intermunicipal Agreement demonstrates the power of unity and cooperation among towns. By harnessing our collective strengths, we're streamlining operations and bolstering our ability to serve our communities effectively, especially during challenging winter conditions. I want to thank Hubbardston DPW Director Travis Brown and his DPW colleagues for thinking outside the box on ways to work with other communities to save money and increase efficiency."

The Intermunicipal Agreement is set to remain in effect through June 30, 2026, allowing the towns to witness and evaluate the positive impact of their joint efforts over an extended period.
