HCAM News recently caught up with Town Manager Norman Khumalo, I asked him about the public hearing held by the Selectmen on whether or not the town should purchase and preserve 40+ acres of land at 203 Pond Street. Mr Khumalo explained the next step in the process: "The Board directed the Town Manager and Town Counsel to review options to exercise it's right of first refusal on the property. Based on the options the Board discussed it is likely that if they choose to exercise the towns right of first refusal the manner will be brought to town meeting in May."
Mr Khumalo explained the approved Verterans Services District Agreement will provide a number of services to veterans including income support and referral services. The town manager explained that Medway, Holliston, Ashland and Hopkinton are all participating in the program that was set up about 4 years ago to provide benefits to veterans.
The town manager also let us know about a couple big tasks coming up: "The 2 big issues that the board will be dealing with in the coming months include the FY16 Budget as well as the annual Town Meeting."
