These were the most pro- and anti-marijuana towns, based on last week’s vote

Weston, a small, affluent town about 15 miles outside of Boston that has no marijuana dispensaries, was the most supportive of the measure. A ballot question that would have repealed the laws that make recreational marijuana legal in Massachusetts lost decisively on Election Day. Town-by-town results showed an overwhelming rejection across the state, with the measure coming up short in every municipality.

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.

87% of Provincetown voters rejected marijuana rollback. One MA town would have passed it.

A question to roll back legal marijuana in Massachusetts overwhelmingly failed on Nov. 3, according to the Associated Press and NBC . Voters in at least two Cape Cod towns - Wellfleet and Provincetown - rejected the measure by over 80% of the vote. But voters in one town would have passed it, according to the poll data in so far. Question 8 would have repealed provisions in the current law that allow for the drug to be sold commercially in the state and changed the rules around possession. About three quarters of the state’s residents voted “No.” Town by town results as of early on Nov. 5 show that nearly all towns in the state overwhelmingly rejected the measure. But one town voted for it. Dover, Massachusetts, was the only town to vote in favor of Question 8, according to results from AP and NBC with nearly 90% of the vote in. There, 52.6% of residents voted yes, while 47.4% voted no. What to know about Dover Dover is a small, affluent town located in the southwest suburbs of Boston. It has a population of about 6,000.

The Oldest Outdoor Flea Market In Massachusetts Feels Like A Real-Life Treasure Hunt Adventure

There’s a small town in Massachusetts where the past shows up in person, sets up a tent, and dares you to walk away empty-handed. That town is Brimfield, and the Brimfield Antique Flea Markets are the kind of experience that turns perfectly reasonable people into obsessive treasure hunters who cancel weekend plans months in advance.

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.
