(Deerfield, MA) — Deerfield’s Steam Mill Road will remain a public way, for now. The Deerfield Selectboard Wednesday night took no action on a proposal to declare the road a private way, which would relieve the town of the burden of maintaining and plowing it. The change was opposed by a number of property owners in the area. No word yet whether the board will take the issue up again at a future meeting.
