CHICOPEE — The Planning Board elected Cynthia Labrie as Chair in its annual reorganization, replacing Michael Sarnelli. Eric Oulette was elected Vice Chair, Andrew Desrochers Clerk, John Paquette Jr. Pioneer Valley Planning Commission Representative, and Thomas Reniewicz board representative to the ad hoc Zoning and Regulations Overhaul Committee.
All elections were unanimous.
