Select Board raises ambulance subscription to $60

Select Board · Meeting of October 6, 2026

LUDLOW — The Ludlow Select Board voted 5-0 to raise the ambulance subscription fee from $50 to $60, effective 2027. The request came from Chief Pease, whose letter put the out-of-pocket cost of advanced transport above $2,100 and said the fund averages about 2,500 subscribers. A member said he would "pay $100 for it." The board also reactivated the Long Range Planning Committee 5-0, reclassified James Goodrow as Deputy Director of Public Works at M6, Step 3, and approved a Class II used-car license for North Star Motors and Collision at 37 Letourneau Lane.

It voted 4-0 with one abstention to let the energy coordinator fix up to 80 percent of remaining fiscal 2027 gasoline at $2.70 or less.
