- 170-180 Main Street, Walpole, the 3-story, 161-unit Senior Living Community, known as New Pond Village, sold in August for $66,000,000.
The top sales appear to have been a combination of private homes, apartment complexes, recreational, manufacturing, and office space. The state and Norfolk County collected excise taxes totaling more than $1,122,700 from these 10 sales.
"The variety in these real estate transactions bodes well for the Norfolk County economy, with high-value properties selling in both commercial and residential sectors," stated Norfolk County Register of Deeds William P. O'Donnell. "This also indicates that Norfolk County is not only a desirable place to both live and work but is also a magnet for business, industry, and trade."

Joel Grey with a reminder from Cabaret
"“Cabaret,” with all its humor, spectacle and tunefulness, has always been both the peanut butter and the pill hidden within. It’s an entertainment that seduces us into distraction. “Leave your troubles outside,” the Emcee implores in his opening number. “In here, life is beautiful.” It’s also a cautionary tale that forces us to confront the perils of falling prey to such distractions.The current revival cleverly ramps up the seduction, staging the show in a fully immersive, champagne-soaked party environment constructed to beguile its audience. Only when the Nazis finally show up do we see how false our velvet-enrobed sense of security has been. We too have chosen not to see what has been directly in front of us.The democratic election of an authoritarian figure, the normalization of bigotry, the complicity of the frightened masses — none of these are new themes. We have indeed seen this show before, and I fear we do know how it ends. It’s understandable to want to retreat, to find solace where we can, but we cannot afford to look away.History is giving us another chance to confront the forces that “Cabaret” warned us about. The question is: Will we listen this time, or will we keep laughing until the music stops?"

Voices of Franklin: 350 Mass Greater Franklin Node says thanks to State Rep Jeff Roy
November 21, 2024
Dear Representative Jeff Roy,
We understand Governor Healey signed the climate bill today! We want to profoundly thank you and the climate conference committee for working so carefully and thoughtfully to create the robust, cutting-edge climate bill this legislative session! We appreciate that it was a challenge to write into law the necessary gradual transition from methane gas to clean electricity, making sure the balance is flexible, well thought out, and smooth.
We also want to acknowledge that the process was longer and more difficult than anyone wanted, and was at times contentious. Trail-blazing legislation does take time and significant effort. We thank you and the whole conference committee for sticking with it to get to YES!
This bill represents another groundbreaking step toward a just, clean energy future for Massachusetts. We look forward to continued collaboration with you in the future as we fight together for climate action and climate justice!
With gratitude,
Carolyn Barthel and Steve Derdiarian, Coordinators
Mark Minnechelli
