Was great to meet up at Blue Moon Bagel Cafe in Medfield this morning with local leaders Select Board member Osler “Pete” Peterson, community leader Bill Massaro*, and former Norfolk Select Board member Kevin Kalkut. Bill has been holding the state’s feet to the fire on the Medfield State Hospital project, which entailed cleanup of a very contaminated site, and fingers crossed, it will soon be transformed into hundreds of units of housing in historic buildings, but in the meantime it’s a lovely trail next to the Charles River, I highly recommend it. We also talked stormwater, dams, and flooding. Decisions made at the local level are vital when it comes to a cleaner Charles River, and protecting our communities from impacts of climate change such as flooding and heat!

*Bill is kind of a big deal: https://lnkd.in/eJZ8-RBw
