Hey there Norwood,

Lots of developments this week. We’ve got more details and information on the 55 Lenox St. lawsuit. It’s going to be tough for the Town, to say the least.

In unabashedly good news, the Town now has a brand-new Animal Control Officer to complement Briana Hernandez, who has now fully taken over for former ACO Henry Cerqueira. The Board of Health will see them soon 🐕🐈.

Also on the docket, the Board of Selectmen met and discussed plans for the future in Town, including the establishment of a citizen’s academy to help educate residents in exactly how things work in municipal government 🏛️.

Also, the Schools will now have one extra bus and will not require any Coakley students to walk to school, though it will cost almost $100,000 for the new bus 🚌.

Thanks for reading. Here’s what we published this week.
