The East Branch Trail of the Westfield River from Chesterfield Gorge now sports mile marker and point of interest signs thanks to the Eagle Scout project of Benjamin Brazee of Troop 109 in Westfield.
Under the guidance of Carrie M. Banks of the Massachusetts Riverways Program and Westfield River Wild & Scenic Advisory Committee, Ben and a group of fellow Boy Scouts and family members installed a series of trail signs marking the 6.6 miles of the East Branch Trail and the special points of interest along the way including Indian Hollow, the Old Quarry and the Inner Gorge.

At a Special Town Meeting on April 5th, voters approved taking $175,000 from Free Cash for the development of construction documents for a new Highway Garage at the site of the current facility.   There is an article on the May 10th Annual Town Meeting Agenda to change the source of the funds to borrowing instead of using Free Cash.  This article needs to be approved prior to June 30, 2010 so that these funds may be rolled into the long-term low-interest loan for the larger construction project, if it should be approved at a future Special Town Meeting.  Leaving the funds in Free Cash helps the Town to maintain its strong financial position and leaves the funds available for other Town needs.    The members of the Highway Garage Building Committee include David Snoeyenbos, Roger Fuller, Bill Jolly, Ed Dahill, Nancy Curtis and Laurie Scarbrough.  They will be working with Jacquelyn Burgin of Hilltown Community Development Corporation, who has been hired as project manager and is helping to complete applications for Stimulus Funding for the project.  The Committee is currently in the process of procuring architectural and engineering services.
