The occupants of Wentworth Hall are settling in at their new location on 273 Washington Street, following a period of construction for the new building.
Wentworth Hall has relocated to the opposite side of the street from its former location. It again houses the offices and activities of Westwood Youth & Family Services. A structured playgroup, with a long waiting list, will have its first session in the new building on December 8, 2021.
Additionally, Westwood's Early Childhood Office will be sharing space with WY&FS in Wentworth Hall. It will host a recurring Thursday playgroup for children of all ages. The program begins December 2, 2021.
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.
