The State Hospital Advisory Committee (SHAC) has prepared a flyer to provide residents with information and the basic data for the 3/10/14 special town meeting (STM) on the proposed purchase from the state for $3.1 m of the 134 acres at the former Medfield State Hospital site. 20140216-draft town meeting handout 02-16-14 Greater information can be found at the SHAC website www.mshvision.net, and will also be presented prior to and at the STM.
The SHAC members will be voting at the next SHAC meeting on 2/2714 on whether to support recommending the purchase of the former Medfield State Hospital site to the Board of Selectmen. While the SHAC members appear to be split on whether to purchase the land, this observer guesses that the committee will vote at least two to one in favor of purchasing the land.
The town residents would also have to vote by at least a two to one margin at the special town meeting (STM) to purchase the land as well for the deal to proceed.
