Belchertown Capital Committee introduced two candidates and outlined its capital spending priorities. The committee presented two potential members to the Town Manager: Ed Kopec, vice president of Western Builders with 17 years in construction experience, and Bob Stedtler, a retired electrician who worked on major projects including MetLife Stadium.
