Acton and eight neighboring towns weigh costs of joining MWRA water supply system

A coalition of nine MetroWest towns, including Acton, has completed a study of the costs of bringing water from the MWRA (Massachusetts Water Resource Authority) to our region. Acton’s share of the cost would be approximately $100 million, and the water could start flowing in approximately 2042. Acton Water District (AWD) officials are examining this possibility very seriously — but they caution that discussions with potential partner towns and MWRA are at an extremely early stage.

In Kendall Square, a long-awaited venue brings cultural boost

Cambridge's tech hub stands to get a culture boost as The Platform, a 45,000-square-foot performing arts venue and community space, opens Saturday. Why it matters: Kendall Square has a front-row seat to a rare sight — a mid-size performing arts venue opening as smaller venues increasingly shut their doors. Catch up quick: The opening is a dream decades in the making for Cambridge residents, since tech philanthropist Glenn KnicKrehm pledged to build a grand concert hall on the site in the 1990s, per Cambridge Day . He sold the property in 2018 to BioMed Realty. The real estate developer ultimately developed the 16-story lab-and-office building at 585 Third St. (now 585 Kendall ), creating a new headquarters for the pharmaceutical giant Takeda. State of play: The Platform's crown jewel is the 400-seat Takeda Theater on the second floor. But the public's introduction to the space is a living room-style lobby lined with trees and shrubs that leads to the 125-seat Tempo Stage. There's also a bar and a café coming soon. Global Arts Live, an arts nonprofit, will oversee the space. (The organization has hosted performances since 1990 but has never had a venue of its own.) What they're saying:

Questioning the location of Framingham's new elementary school | Letter

As usual, the School Committee is befuddling in its planning of new school construction . Why is a replacement of Hemenway being built in Ashland? Isn't that a bit far flung? Wasn't the Wilson School replacement built to accommodate that part of Town with loss of Memorial, etc.? The larger question involves why the School Dept, Council recognize growth at the lower grade level, but not the need for accommodating it at the high school level. Shouldn't the new building be a high school? Maybe the Marian building would be ideal. Sorry to interrupt your reverie.
