On Tuesday, June 14, 2022 at 6:00 p.m., Hale Task Force is holding a public meeting via Zoom to gather community input about Hale Education's proposal of a conservation restriction on 550 acres of land in Westwood.
The proposal, if adopted, would protect Hale's land in Westwood from future commercial or residential development at a price tag of $10 million. A representative from Hale Education and a member of Westwood's Hale Task Force will be presenting information.
A conservation restriction is a permanent restriction on land to preserve it in its natural, scenic, open, agricultural or forest condition, while permitting public recreational use. It would prohibit or limit construction and other activities, such as development, that are detrimental to the purpose of the conservation restriction.

Senator Rush is correct re: the ambulatory services. One only has to drive on RTE 109/Westwood to see the number of out of town ambulances going through town at all times of the day. Then they have to get to Boston or Needham.
This is progress and I am glad to see the Select Board moving in the right direction. However, a majority of voters at last Monday's Special Town Meeting voted to recommend that the Select Board immediately cease its lawsuit against the Westwood Land Trust.
