Board of Commissioners
HRA is governed by an 11-member Board of Commissioners, all of whom are residents of Franklin County. Nine members are appointed by the Franklin Regional Council of Governments (FRCOG) for 5-year terms. None of the nine FRCOG appointees may be from the same town. Two commissioners are appointed by the Governor for four-year terms, or until they are replaced. The Governor’s appointees may be from any of the 26 towns in Franklin County. The Board of Commissioners typically meets at 6:00pm on the first Monday of the month at the HRA office in Turners Falls. Meetings are open to the public; it is good to call in advance to confirm the date, time and location of a meeting. All meetings will be posted in the Public Notice section of this website.
