On March 17, 2026, the Great Barrington public body convened and, after roll call, voted unanimously to enter an executive session to discuss real estate matters concerning "cruisatonic waterworks." The board did not return to open session.
We'll start the meeting pursuant to MGL 7C30A20F.

And we will not return to open session. Do I have a second? Second. It's a roll call vote. Phil. Aye. Ben. Aye. Garfield. Aye. Aye. And I. It's unanimous. So we will go into executive session. We will not return to open session.
