Williamstown Select Board Has Three Applicants for Interim Appointment

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — A three-term member of the board, a teacher at Mount Greylock Regional School and a town native have stepped forward to fill an interim position on the Select Board.
 
The vacancy came up this summer when Andrew Hogeland announced that he and his wife are moving out of town. He was not specific about the exact date of his departure but encouraged his remaining four colleagues to find a replacement as soon as possible.
 
On Tuesday, Sept. 24, in a rescheduled bimonthly meeting, the board plans to interview and select from among three people who submitted paperwork to take Hogeland's place until the May town election.
 
Hugh Daley, Alexander Davis and Matt Neely each submitted a Government Engagement form to apply to serve for the next seven months.
 
Daley is no stranger to the board, having served for nine years from 2014 to 2023. After not seeking re-election last year, he found a different way to serve the town, as one of its representatives on the Hoosac Water Quality District.
 
His application emphasized the importance of service.
 
"Public service is a primary civic duty in our system of self governance," Daley wrote.
