NFPA to Leave Quincy, Puts 50-Acre Campus Up for Sale

1600 Crown Colony Dr. — Approximate Site Of Planned Development. The National Fire Protection Association is preparing to leave Quincy, putting its longtime Batterymarch Park campus on the market in a move that could open the door to new housing in the office park. The four-building, 528,540-square-foot campus sits on nearly 50 acres in West Quincy, and brokers marketing the property say existing zoning already allows for multifamily housing with City Council approval through a special permit.

I live in Fairhaven’s town center, in a neighborhood of single-family homes on modest sized lots, making up a community of what have long been considered starter homes. It is a sought-after neighborhood for homebuyers, ranging from families with young children to older couples happy to have a right-sized house and an easy-to-maintain yard in a vibrant town.

Providence superintendent says he will resign. Here's what comes next.

Superintendent Javier Montañez announced on Friday, Oct. 30, that he will resign as the superintendent of Providence Public Schools. The Providence School Board intends to post a listing for an interim superintendent to replace Montañez next week, and talks are "ongoing" to finalize Montañez's last official day and a settlement agreement. How did we get here: Montañez rose to the highest position in the state's largest school district in 2021, from which he also graduated, after spending more than 30 years as a teacher, assistant principal, principal and then superintendent. He was appointed schools chief during the 7-year state takeover, and his resignation comes among the prolonged chaos of the district's tortuous return to local control. A rocky start to the school year On the very first day of school this year, Montañez's morning began before the sun had risen, greeting bus monitors and drivers at the Olneyville bus yard, energizing staff to make the momentous return to local control successful. Since that sunshine-filled first day, the wheels have started to fall off. Three of the district's most senior leaders have resigned. The School Board's subsequent meetings were filled with dozens of parents and students complaining about understaffing and lack

Massachusetts DMV Clerk Made More From Bribes Than Her Paychecks, Prosecutors Say

Waiting on vehicle paperwork is never fun. Finding out that someone else apparently bought their way to the front of the line probably won't improve the experience. In Massachusetts, prosecutors say a former Registry of Motor Vehicles clerk turned those delays into a lucrative private business—and apparently, the side hustle paid better than the government job that made it possible in the first place.
