Medfield Hospital Land Bill Passes Through House and Senate

Now waiting for Governor's signature so Town of Medfield can buy the site.

Both branches of the legislature passed the bill allowing the Town of Medfield to buy the Medfield State Hospital site, according to the websites of Selectmen Osler “Pete” Peterson and Richard DeSorgher.

Now only the Governor’s signature is needed before the purchase can be put into motion.

Medfield's State Hospital Master Planning Committee, recently appointed by the selectmen, had their first meeting last night to begin the most important task of making recommendations for developing the 134 acres of land the town is about to own, according to Selectman DeSorgher.
