Prior to last night’s Planning Board meeting Ed Duffy made it official. He is going to run for the Board of Selectmen and collected signatures in support of that effort.

The current chair, Marion McEttrick, is leaving the board at the end of her current term. This opens a seat and Mr. Duffy is the first to announce his intention to make a run for it. His making a possible bid had been rumored for some time.

Ed Duffy is active in a variety of town organizations and activities in addition to serving as a member of the Planning Board.
