Debate over Mount Greylock HS turf construction intensifies

In late September, the Mount Greylock Regional School District School Committee (MGRSDSC) voted to reject three bids from local contractors to install a turf field at Mount Greylock Regional High School (MGRHS) in Williamstown, a project that has spurred significant community debate in recent years.
The conversation about constructing a synthetic field at the high school, which serves Williamstown and Lanesborough, began in the fall of 2016, when the committee formed several sub-groups focused on improving the MGRHS campus.
