• Stockbridge budget to rise 4.7% as town expands fire, EMS services (berkshireeagle.com) — Stockbridge’s proposed 4.7 percent budget increase is driven largely by expanding its shared fire and EMS department with West Stockbridge, adding staff and planning a new facility. For West Stockbridge residents, this regional approach could strengthen emergency response while aiming to control long‑term costs, with key funding decisions coming at Stockbridge’s May town meeting.
