(Colrain, MA) Massachusetts State Representative Natalie Blais visited Colrain yesterday during their Selectboard meeting. Representative Blais expressed her dedication to the rural areas of western Massachusetts and two bills she has introduced to benefit rural schools and roads.

The Act relative to unpaved roads would support data collection on unpaved roads in order to establish a plan for maintenance.

Colrain is part of the 1st Franklin district that was signed into law by Governor Baker in November of 2021 and these district lines are set in place until 2031.
