(Montague, MA) — Today marks the end of an era in Montague town politics. Current Selectboard member Michael Nelson’s resignation from that board takes effect today. Nelson said a recent change in his work schedule made it impossible to continue in his role on Montague’s top policy board. An election will be held later this fall to fill Nelson’s seat. Nelson says he plans to remain active in local government, as a member of Montague’s Board of Health.
