Franklin’s first marijuana dispensary expected to open soon

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:
"The town’s first recreational marijuana dispensary has been given the green light to begin operations, although it’s unclear when its doors will open. 
Proponents of the retail establishment at 1256 West Central St. - GTE Franklin, LLC - had their proposal approved for the project by the Planning Board on Sept. 23, said Town Planner Amy Love. The shop will be located within an industrial site in the town’s Marijuana Overlay District, next door to a Milford Regional Medical Center office. 
Other shops with signs on-site include Franklin Yoga & Wellness, William Raveis Real Estate and Forge Auto Works."

Preparedness: Presume the best, prepare for the worst

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director, Franklin●TV & wfpr●fm 11/24/2019
"On Wednesday 11/20, I attended an emergency readiness meeting of Bellingham and Franklin officials. The day was given to analyzing our emergency preparedness, and assessing our strengths and limitations.

What does that look like? The day produced a list of action items to improve our readiness to mitigate emergencies great and small across the municipalities, facilities, areas and neighborhoods. They addressed issues that none of us think about as we go about our day-to-day lives, but they are important issues nonetheless."

Please help send these girls to their first ever AYC National Championship!

"Our 14U Franklin Cheer team just qualified to compete at the AYFC National Championships in Kissimmee, Florida from December 11-16, 2019. Please help send these girls to their first ever AYC National Championship!!!

Their journey has been long, their effort...tireless, and their desire to be the best can only be topped by their dedication and commitment to “team above self”. This is more than just a competition for these girls. This is the culmination of hours and hours of practice, persistence and sacrifice. Now it’s time to show our support for all their hard work. Every donation helps no matter how small. Please consider giving.

This trip to National’s will be an experience every single one of them will remember for a lifetime. For some, this will be the first time leaving the New England. For others, this will be the first trip they take with teammates but without their families. For most, this will be the only time these girls have the opportunity to represent our community and state at a national level.

This will be a competition where they learn the value of hard work, determination, commitment, sacrifice and teamwork. They will learn , because of their work ethic, all things are possible. For those very reasons, they will return from Nationals as “winners” regardless of their scores.

The cost per cheerleader is approximately $1,300.00 inclusive of airfare, lodging, food, transportation and other costs/fees. We need to raise $18,000.00 in two short weeks to enable all of the girls on our team to go.

The team has done their hard work, practice after practice, to get this far. They’ve overcome injuries, icing noses and lips, sprains and strains, all for the sake of a team. They’ve missed social events and other opportunities for one shot at rocking a flawless 2 ½ minute routine where one mistake, one slip by one girl, can mean the end of the season for all. Please help us send them the rest of the way!! Donate now and make their dreams come true!!!"

Register O'Donnell Welcomes Chinese Delegation


Norfolk County Registry of Deeds

Register O'Donnell Welcomes Chinese Delegation

Norfolk County Register of Deeds William P. O'Donnell recently hosted a delegation from the Chinese Ministry of Natural Resources, Bureau of Natural Resources Registration. O'Donnell provided the delegation, headed by Yang Zhuhui, Deputy Director of the Bureau of Natural Resources Registration, with an overview of land document recording procedures at the Registry.

Commenting on the event, O'Donnell noted, "No matter what the level of government, having an open dialogue with a foreign country improves cooperation and understanding between the parties. As the Bureau of Natural Resources Registration ramps up their land registration system, they hopefully will be helped by what they learned and observed here at the Norfolk County Registry of Deeds when it comes to our best practices."

A lively question and answer session followed with Register O'Donnell and the Chinese delegation. "Some of the questions touched on issues of property ownership, including property development, zoning restrictions and how they affect property development here in the states, and recording of public land documents dealing with highways and water," noted the Register.

At the end of the event, Register O'Donnell, representing the Registry of Deeds and the citizens of Norfolk County, was presented with a gift of Chinese silk tapestry. Register O'Donnell stated, "I want to thank the Chinese delegation for their kindness in presenting this wonderful gift to Norfolk County. We were honored that they chose to learn from us. I wish the delegation all the best as they begin the process of creating a land document recording system."
