MSH planning

About 100+ residents gathered to get input and share ideas at the MHS last night about the future of the former Medfield State Hospital site.  I found the input exciting and stimulating, and now I am looking forward to getting a synthesis of those ideas and opinions back from the consultants at VHB.  Below is the agenda for the program.
