Use of Town Common & Properties

Use of the Town Common and other Town properties such as the Town Hall Great Meeting Hall is given by permission only from the Select Board. Requests must be in writing and received by the Select Board's Office either by postal service or electronically no less than three weeks prior to the date of use being sought. Requests must include the specific date and time as well as the nature of the use/event. Requests are considered by Selectmen on a case-by-case basis. Event requests that fall on a day or evening when the Town has a scheduled official function, (i.e., primary or election or previously scheduled Town business meeting) will be denied.

The placement of signs on the Town Common is by Select Board approval only. Requests must be in writing and received by the Select Board's Office either by postal service or electronically no less than three weeks prior to the date when the sign would be erected. Signs on the Town Common are allowed, with Select Board approval, only to Non-Profit Organizations or for official Town events. Signs can only be erected for seven days prior to the event. Brimfield's zoning bylaw requires that free standing signs be no more than twenty-five feet in size and cannot be artificially illuminated. Signs that appear on the Town Common without permission of the Select Board will be immediately removed by the Police Department and returned to the owner if known."
