Voter Support
Results on Clapp for Community’s 2 1/2 override -
Question #4 - on ELECTION DAY, NOVEMBER 4th
It passed by a vote of 4445 to
2953, over 60% of the vote!
We appreciate the support we’ve received from the people of Belchertown
throughout the run-up to this election and now in the voting itself. We
think this vote shows that our community realizes how important the
renovation and expansion of Clapp Memorial Library are to the future of the
library and the Town. Now that the debt exclusion for
the Town’s share of the cost has been approved, we’ll press on with our work
to make the project a reality. We’ll continue our private fundraising to
keep the requirement for Town funding to a minimum, and we’ll be working
with Town officials to prepare for a future Town Meeting vote on Town
funding for the project. In the process, we’ll address the questions people
have raised over the past few months, including the issue of future
ownership of the library. We hope to build as broad a consensus as possible
in the community, so that all the people of Belchertown are proud of their
library.
