Westwood Minute has become aware of a Planning Board meeting scheduled for January 3, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. This meeting is expected to provide an opportunity for Planning Board to work on finalizing its proposed language to amend the town's zoning bylaws on multifamily housing and solar arrays before publishing them for public notice. Details to join Planning Board's meeting will be forthcoming when they become available.
In its November 15, 2021 meeting, Select Board also set a meeting date of January 11, 2022 that has not yet been posted or officially noticed. Westwood Minute will provide more details when an official date and time is available.
And as previously reported, Planning Board is also currently scheduled to have another meeting on January 11, 2021.
This article corrects a previous misstatement in Westwood Minute's article posted on Monday, December 27, 2021 which incorrectly stated that there are no meetings of town government until Planning Board's meeting of January 11th. That article has been withdrawn from publication to avoid reader confusion.
There may be other meetings that have not yet been officially noticed. When notice becomes available, Westwood Minute will provide updates.
I am in complete support of the refurbishing and reopening of Norwood Hospital. I was working at Saint Elizabeth during this time. When steward took over our HOSPITAL group, Caritas Christie. They decimated not only our hospitals, but also two hospitals in the tiny nation of Malta.
Moderate or heavy snow showers, with a high of 38 and low of 24 degrees. Sunny during the morning, light sleet during the afternoon, ice pellets in the evening, clear overnight.
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.
