The Habitat house being built by Westwood residents and volunteers, at the corner of Highview Street and Burgess Avenue in Westwood, is taking shape. The floor is in. The first floor walls are up. Passersby can start to better imagine what the house will look like, and how it will blend in with the other capes in the neighborhood.
This Saturday, July 31, 2021, is the next scheduled build day. Another 6 volunteers and a site manager will work together to add to the construction.
Volunteers are still needed for upcoming Saturday build days on August 7, 14, and 28. To volunteer for this South Shore Habitat for Humanity build, click here.
These are great strides in addressing concerns about a lack of openness and two way dialogue raised by Westwood citizens. Thanks to the Select Board and to Mr. Read for listening and acting.
Thank you Ms. Galkowski for this thoughtful acknowledgement of positive steps being made by our Town government. My generation loves the positive empowerment. Exemplary.
In promulgating the public comment policy, the Select Board has taken a big step towards showing willingness to engage in conversation with Westwood residents about the many important issues at hand—currently, the Fire Station 1 and the budget.
