What Milton’s Special Town Meeting decided on the $11.75M Labouré campus, and upcoming Special Election

Town Meeting approved the purchase at the October Special Town Meeting. Voters decide in a town-wide special election on Tuesday, Dec. 15.

This Massachusetts State Forest Offers Miles Of Off-Road Adventure Across Scenic Woodland Trails

I’d go as far as saying fun is a kid skill worth keeping. Eight miles of rocky, narrow trails built for off-highway motorcycles make a loud case for practicing it. To me, this Massachusetts forest feels like the back-seat grin you had before every field trip. More than 20 more miles of trails wind through pine and oak for hikers, bikers, and horseback riders.

Winter gas rates for many in Mass. hold steady — a rare reprieve as other costs rise

On a gray November morning in Worcester, the gas bill that lands in a mailbox can feel like a verdict. Heat is not a luxury in New England. It is the difference between a livable kitchen and a room a family abandons after dinner. This year, for many households, that verdict is unusually calm. Massachusetts gas rates for the winter period are holding steady for a large share of customers, a pause that arrives while groceries, insurance, and rent keep climbing. Regulators approved supply prices that do not jump the way they did in the hardest winters of the early 2020s. The relief is real. It is also narrow, and it does not rewrite the longer story of what it costs to stay warm north of Hartford and south of the Canadian border.
