ASHLAND – The Town of Ashland, wanting to connect with every resident in the community, mailed a flyer with important information to every household, last month.

“We mailed a flyer with important information, that included how to stay connected with Town Hall, and other resources, during the healthcare crisis,” said Ashland Town Manager Michael Herbert.

The flyer was a way to connect with everyone, even those not on social media.

The flyer provided a website, email address, and hotline for COVID-19 questions and for those who wanted to report concerns. The Flyer also told residents these were the best ways to stay connected during the pandemic.

It explained how to stay informed and how to connect with the Town using remote services.

It provided information on food assistance programs and the Town’s Restaurant & Relief program.

The Flyer explained the symptoms of coronavirus and what to be concerned about, and reminded residents to practice social distancing.

There are roughly 7,200 households in Ashland.

Herbert told the Select Board on Wednesday night, the mailing cost the city about $3,000.

The Flyer was mailed in March, just after, the Governor’s announcement that all non-essential businesses should close or operate remotely.
