Medfield College?

Oleana Foundation is looking to use the Medfield State Hospital site to start a college here in Medfield.  See http://www.oleana-edu.org/.   I picked that site up from the email address its executive director used, not anything by way of contact information he put forward in his email (a copy of the email appears below), when he emailed Mike, Kris, and Bob to update the town on what they are doing.

Hi Everyone,

It has been a long time since you have heard from me, but our group has been

busy trying to advance our project of converting the Medfield State Hospital

into a new, four-year, faculty-residential Liberal Arts College.

There have been several developments. We have been working very closely

with Michael Dukakis, and he arranged meetings with Jay Gonzalez and David

Sullivan from Administration and Finance. We will be meeting with Michael

and a very large developer to explore the possibility of partnering on the

project.

At this juncture we would like to begin a “quiet campaign” of speaking with

select people in the town who could help us obtain community support. I was

hoping we might be able to meet soon and discuss such a plan in more detail.

Best,

Vincent F. Rocchio,

Executive Director

Oleana Foundation
