Town increases support for Granby Ambulance Association

By |

Before the Granby Ambulance Association existed, a Cadillac station wagon kept in a barn responded to motor vehicle accidents and household injuries. The late Cal Heminway and other concerned citizens put an end to that and established a trained volunteer service to handle such emergencies. That was in 1963.

Could Broadleaf preserve the land for Granby’s future?

By |

A recent survey of 49 residents found the community evenly divided over the proposed Broadleaf Solar project: 41 percent supported it, 41 percent opposed it, and 18 percent were undecided or wanted more information.
The voluntary survey was intended to identify residents’ questions and priorities and share them with town officials. Although respondents disagreed about the project, they showed considerable agreement about what Granby should pursue if it moves forward.
