Hubbardston Releases Public Document and Information Portal

The Town of Hubbardston is thrilled to announce the launch of its Public Document and Information Portal, a comprehensive platform that provides easy access to a wide range of public documents and information. This achievement marks the culmination of three years of diligent work and has been made possible through generous grants from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the town's ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) funding.

The newly unveiled portal represents a significant milestone in promoting transparency and enhancing civic engagement within the Hubbardston community. Residents can now conveniently access public documents and information from the comfort of their homes or offices, ensuring a seamless and efficient experience.

The Public Document and Information Portal offers an array of features designed to simplify document retrieval and facilitate informed decision-making. With a user-friendly interface, individuals can effortlessly navigate through various categories, including land use, assessing, planning, and more. The portal also boasts a robust search functionality, allowing users to quickly locate specific documents by utilizing relevant keywords or categories.

"We are delighted to introduce the Hubbardston Public Document and Information Portal to our community," said Town Administrator Nathan Boudreau. "This platform represents our commitment to transparency and open government, making public records easily accessible to all. We extend our gratitude to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the Hubbardston Select Board, who were instrumental in bringing this project to fruition."

As with any new system, there may be initial adjustments and guidelines are being developed for the efficient operation of the portal. The office of the Town Administrator is actively working to establish department-specific guidelines for scanning documents and setting appropriate timelines. Users are encouraged to note that while the portal is now live, certain documents may still be in the process of being uploaded and organized.
