Dartmouth, Fairhaven, Westport rejected Question 7 on housing

Question 7 on “starter homes,” rejected by Massachusetts voters by a slim margin last week, attracted strong opposition in New Bedford’s suburbs. The ballot measure, introduced amidst a statewide housing crisis, would have allowed single-family homes to be built on 5,000 square foot lots, if they were connected to water and sewer services.

Recap: Tiverton Planners OK Farm Solar Array, Delay Three-Home Subdivision

A three-lot subdivision off Mary Lane, with a home and an accessory unit on each lot, will return to the Planning Board on Dec. 1. Its access depends on a 40-foot strip that a neighbor says is hers, and a lawsuit over the strip is pending. A farm on Nanaquaket Road won conditional approval for a small solar array, with the fence requirement waived. The board also gave a positive review to a new house in the Stafford Pond watershed.

Joseph Case football duo ready for Abington playoff showdown

SWANSEA — Two players who have made a difference in the Joseph Case football team 's resurgence this fall have been juniors Troy Medas and Cooper Watson. The two Cardinals defensive players have created havoc for opposing teams all season long. "What they both bring together, which I think bleeds into the rest of the defense, is they are just tough kids," first-year head coach Mike Cloutier said. "There's no backing down in them. When the game gets tough, they get tougher." The Swansea natives will be tested against No. 3 Abington in Thursday's Division 6 Round of 8 football matchup, beginning at 6 p.m. Watch MA high school football on NFHS The Green Wave (7-2) can certainly run with the football as proven in their opening day win over Longmeadow, tallying nearly 300 yards on the ground. Quarterback Jack Reilly is also accurate throwing the football and crafty in the pocket. Medas, a 6-2, 185-pound linebacker, and Watson, a 6-4, 210-pound defensive end use their size, speed and toughness to create real problems for offenses. They also work in tandem to attack the running and passing game. Both made huge plays in last week's upset over defending Division 6

Tiverton's 2028 Town Plan Rewrite Still Waits on a Consultant Search

Tiverton's comprehensive plan is the document the Planning Board relies on when it approves or denies projects, from new buildings to walkable zones. Members said the town has about a year and a half to write a new one, and a request for proposals to hire a consultant has not gone out. A speaker said the draft is expected to go to the Town Council after the new council is sworn in in December. One member urged the council to appoint a volunteer advisory committee now so residents can start shaping the plan.
