Town Residents Hopeful for Help from Upcoming Elections

The response from town officials to the demise of one of its oldest landmarks has been small to this point. It appears that the old building is not a priority, and this has some local residents concerned. Michael O'Donnell, a resident of Williamstown for nearly twenty years, expressed his concern for a response from the higher ups.

"That building is not only a landmark, but it's located on the central drag through town. Everyone who drives up and down Main Street gets a good look at it, and it's a shame that it is sitting in this condition."

Fences and caution tape have been placed in front of the theater. Other than these standard safety procedures, it appears that actions have yet to be taken. Another town resident, however, is hoping that the upcoming elections will make a difference. Kelsey Heffernan, a lifetime Williamstown resident is optimistic.

"It's possible that the current administration just hasn't gotten the chance to do anything, but it's also possible they aren't interested because they could be losing their seats. A new mayor and new town council members might help the process. New faces always bring fresh ideas."

Town members have no choice but to wait and see if The Road Company receives assistance from local officials.
