A message for District 4 residents:

Dear Friends and Neighbors of District 4

(Precincts 5 and 9 – roughly from Strong St to College St, and along S. Pleasant St from Route 9 to the Columbia Drive neighborhoods):

As your new Councilors, we would like to hear from you and be able to communicate information and news on a regular basis to you.  One reliable way to reach you with updates and information is via email.  If you are interested in hearing from us, kindly email Councilor Lopes and Councilor Rooney at our respective Town email addresses – lopesa@amherstma.gov  and rooneyp@amherstma.gov  to let us know you want to be on our mailing list.  If you are a neighborhood email list “manager”, we would greatly appreciate it if you would post this notice to let your neighborhoods know of our interest in reaching out to, and hearing from, as many people as we can. 

To reach us – or any Councilor – the Town Council’s main phone (413) 259-3001 and the shared email address that reaches all 13 councilors, towncouncil@amherstma.gov, are also very good ways to reach us with your thoughts and questions.  The Town Council website has lots of good information and a place to directly submit comments:  https://www.amherstma.gov/3435/Town-Council .

We look forward to hearing from you!  Here’s to healthy and productive New Year!

Warm regards,

Councilor Pam Rooney and Councilor Anika Lopes
