My regular monthly selectman office hours are at The Center on the first Friday of every month from 9:00 to 10:00 AM (this Friday).
Residents are welcome to stop by to talk in person about any town matters. Residents can also have coffee and see the Council on Aging in action (a vibrant organization with lots going on).

The Medfield Foundation Legacy Fund has announced that applications are now being accepted for its 2026 Community Impact Grants. Up to $40,000 in grants will be awarded, and any Medfield-based nonprofit or Town department is eligible. Applicants are welcome to submit a grant request online at https://www.medfieldfoundation.org/ by March 15, 2026.
The Medfield Foundation Legacy Fund Community Board will review all submissions and select the finalists who will be invited to PITCH IT!, a Shark Tank-type event to be held in person on April 16, 2026. At PITCH IT!, applicants will present their proposal, goals, and financial needs and directly engage with the Community Board on their projects. The Community Board will make its final selection of grant recipients for the 2026 funding round in late April, 2026.
This year marks the sixth round of Legacy Fund Community Impact grants. To date, over $136,000 has been awarded to thirteen organizations, including the Cultural Alliance of Medfield, the Friends of the MHS Theatre Society, the Friends of the Medfield Rail Trail, Medfield Cares About Prevention, Medfield Outreach, The Peak House Heritage Center, Zullo Gallery and Sustainable Medfield.
Grantees have used their awards to further important projects in Medfield and, in some cases, to leverage significant additional resources such as matching grants or federal or state funding. This year’s applicants should be prepared to illustrate a strong and compelling current need for funds, and possibly present how those funds may generate additional investments in the Medfield community as well.
Act fast to take advantage of this spectacular opportunity!

The prior shared link required the town to grant access to the video. This link gives one clicking direct access.
The DPW put together a video that explains who they are and the many things that they do for the Town of Medfield. Maurice Goulet, Director of the DPW shared the video with the Select Board at our meeting last night.

Medfield Select Board member
I started this blog to share the interesting and useful information that I saw while doing my job as a Medfield select board member. I thought that my fellow Medfield residents would also find that information interesting and useful as well. This blog is my effort to assist in creating a system to push the information out from the Town House to residents. Let me know if you have any thoughts on how it can be done better.
For information on my other job as an attorney (personal injury, civil litigation, estate planning and administration, and real estate), please feel free to contact me at 617-969-1500 or Osler.Peterson@OslerPeterson.com.
