I appreciate the article by Allison Drescher regarding our rising property taxes. I support a new fire station. I am concerned about what the future has in store. I.e., What is the plan for the Deerfield School? What we know is the students and teachers will be moved to the new Pine Hill School during the February, 2024 school vacation. However, what is the plan after the move (one month from now)? Is it going to be used to house something else that is in the plans? Apparently, it is not available to temporarily house the WFD since the Legion building is going to be used for that purpose. I know of senior citizens who are forced to sell their homes due to the continuously rising Westwood property taxes. How is this fair?

I completely agree. Washington St. also has some terrible patches, especially the handicap ramps. I don’t understand why the DPW is responsible for clearing sidewalks in front of homes and businesses. It seems that those should be the responsibility of the property owner.
The sidewalks on High Rock and Hartford have been pretty treacherous this winter too. I didn't contact DPW about it though.

A true hero, though I'm not sure about the naming of the intersection after him. We already have a school named after him. Is there no one else who dedicated their life to this Town that the intersection could be named in memory of?
Thanks for the comment. Perhaps other candidates for a named intersection might be considered by the Select Board if presented with a petition or similar process as what was used here.
