Question of the Day

Poll: Expanding Tilden Village

Medfield Board of Selectmen chair Osler "Pete" Peterson suggests the town look into expanding Tilden Village to accommodate more 40B housing units. Do you agree?

Affordable housing continues to be a hot button topic around Medfield in light of the proposed 96-unit apartment complex on West Street and the realization that the town has very little defense against developers wanting to build anywhere in town. Many residents have taken their concerns regarding Chapter 40B to public forums, searching for answers and speaking at length at Board of Selectmen meetings.

Meeting Notes: Selectmen Create Rail Trail Study Committee, Elect Housing Authority Board Member

The Medfield Board of Selectmen met Nov. 1 at Town Hall. Here’s a summary of the town business it discussed.

The Medfield Board of Selectmen spent much of its Nov. 1 meeting in Town Hall discussing last weekend’s October Nor’easter and the impact it had on Medfield with police chief Robert E. Meaney Jr.  Another topic that facilitated discussion among the selectmen was Selectmen chair Osler Peterson’s request to appoint a citizens committee to study the feasibility of a rail trail in Medfield as part of the Bay Colony Rail Trail.
