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

Court ruling ends Boston high school football team’s playoff hopes after clerical error
Earlier in the week it was announced a Massachusetts high school football program would miss the postseason due a clerical error regarding its schedule.
