It takes about $68,200 – $93,200 a year to raise a young family in New Bedford. The typical household earns $60,900

Housing in New Bedford costs far less than in most of Massachusetts. But add up what a young family can’t do without – healthcare, housing, utilities, child care, groceries, a car and a phone – and the bill comes to far more than most households in the city earn.

Johnston voters rejected eminent domain plan. Town says fight isn't over

JOHNSTON – On Nov. 3, voters in Johnston rejected a ballot measure to amend the town's charter to create a coherent pathway to exercise eminent domain, in response to a federal judge's rejection of attempts to take land slated for an income-restricted apartment complex. Despite that rejection, the Town Council president said the council will be going forward with plans to use eminent domain to take the 31-acre site off of George Waterman Road , relying on an alternative method following the defeat of the charter amendment at the ballot box. U.S. District Judge Melissa DuBose ruled that the town's attempt to take property via its charter doesn't work, because the charter doesn't have sufficient provisions to pass constitutional muster, in an ongoing lawsuit filed by the property owners against the town, which the owners' lawyers call a "sham taking." The ballot initiative failed, 54% to 46%, or 4,761 votes against to 4,090 votes for, according to unofficial vote counts. In Johnston, 9,894 people voted , 41% of the 24,015 registered voters. What Johnston needs, either in its charter or for another process, per the federal judge who rejected the initial eminent domain efforts following a lawsuit by the site

800 residents sign no-confidence petition against Bridgewater leaders

Over 800 Bridgewater residents have signed a petition expressing no confidence in town councilors and the town manager. "We are calling for these officials to recognize the growing loss of public trust and accountability in Bridgewater and take meaningful action to restore confidence in our local government," said the Change.org petition, which was created in mid September. Meanwhile, Councilor MJ Spagone has submitted a resolution to fire Town Manager Justin Casanova-Davis, which will be taken up during a Town Council meeting on Nov. 17. In the resolution, Spagone raised concerns about Casanova-Davis' alleged misuse of paid time off and argued he has failed to be a transparent leader . The petition called for improved communication about major issues facing the town, including the investigation into Casanova-Davis and contaminated water . Petitioners also asked officials to respond to residents' questions and public records requests. Library in crisis: If Bridgewater library loses certification, it could see yet more cuts Spagone said on Facebook her resolution stemmed from a recent NBC10 report that alleged that Casanova-Davis did not access his office for dozens of workdays between July 2025 and July 2026, without having registered paid time off for those days.

Officials said a $2 million grant is a reimbursement for a rescue station, not cash in hand. No vote was taken.
