Adams Open Space and Recreation Plan Survey

Print Story | Email Story
ADAMS, Mass. — The Town of Adams invites the public to participate in a Survey informing the Adams Open Space and Recreation Plan. 
 
The Survey is available via SurveyMonkey. Town residents and visitors to the town are asked to weigh in on priorities for open space planning in the coming 10 years.
 
The survey is open through Dec. 1, 2025.
 
The survey asks respondents a variety of questions including demographic information, recreation and conservation needs and desires, parks improvements they would like to see in the town, what recreational facilities they use, and what policies the Town should enact to accomplish those things.
 
"Having a current Open Space and Recreation Plan makes the town eligible for Massachusetts State grant programs through the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs such as the PARC Grant (Parkland Acquisitions and Renovations for Communities),” said Seth Jenkins, senior community planner for Berkshire Regional Planning Commission.
 
The Town is working with staff from the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission to develop the Open Space and Recreation Plan.

Letter: Christine Hoyt is the best choice for the Adams Select Board on May 4th.

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

I am a proud resident of Adams, and it's clear that our town is moving in a positive direction. From the revitalization of the Adams Theater to the opening of the Greylock Glen Outdoor Center, we are seeing meaningful progress take shape.

Christine Hoyt has been a driving part of this momentum since 2017. During her time on the Select Board, she has worked to address critical priorities, such as infrastructure improvements (like the $6.5 million wastewater treatment upgrades), economic development, and the preservation of essential town services.

Re-electing Christine to a fourth term ensures continuity in this important work. Her role on the Local Government Advisory Commission (LGAC) enables her to advocate directly for Adams at the state level, helping secure general government aid, Chapter 90 funding, and support for public education. She also brings valuable leadership experience through her service as president of the Berkshire County Select Board Association, District 1 representative on both the Massachusetts Select Board Association and the Massachusetts Municipal Association Board of Directors, and her work with the Massachusetts Interlocal Insurance Association. This level of experience and representation is an asset our town cannot afford to lose.

Christine has proven she has the vision and the work ethic to lead Adams for another three years. I hope you will join me in voting for her on Monday, May 4, and keep the momentum going.

The election will be held on Monday, May 4, 2026, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Adams Memorial Building, 30 Columbia St.
