The Massachusetts Sale Tax Holiday will be the weekend of August 13-14, 2022. During this time, most items for personal use up to $2,500 will be exempt from the 6.25 percent sales tax. This includes eligible items purchased online that are purchased during the holiday. All businesses making normally taxable sales in Massachusetts that are open on the Sales Tax Holiday are required participate.
Certain items, however, remain taxable during the holiday:
Meals, motor vehicles, motor boats, telecommunications services, gas, steam, electricity, layaway sales, tobacco products, marijuana products, alcohol and single items that are priced over $2,500.

Sunny, with a high of 91 and low of 63 degrees. Sunny for the morning, partly cloudy during the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
This needed to happen 5 years ago. But now the real wrangling begins as MPT will fight to get as much $$$ as they can from the state as possible”just compensation.”
I appreciate all of the work and time that the FS1 Steering Committee and Select Board have put into this process. I've also noticed a big difference in communication around this from the town on Facebook and Westwood Wire. This feels like a much different process than the first time around.
Combing the FS1 vote with the general election makes a ton of sense, and in fact, makes me wonder why not do this will ALL elections instead of holding town elections in April?
Just a reminder that you can e-mail the FS1 Committee at FS1Committee@westwoodma.gov with questions/feedback, etc.
Two different votes for the Project?
First one in October for 'site selection, budget, and funding sources' for a new FS1.
Then, a November vote for 'designing, constructing, equipping, and furnishing' of a new FS1.
Seems repetitive.
