The Framingham State Normal School, a free public school and the first of its kind in America, is represented by the structure at the top of the design. Governor Danforth, the founder of Framingham and owner of much of its land, is acknowledged by the words “Danforth’s Farms 1662” on the shield at the center. The wheel on the shield with spokes drawn as tracks radiating in six different directions represents the steam and electric railroads and signifies the Town’s position as a transportation hub. Surrounding the words “Town of Framingham Incorporated 1700” is an illustrative border of straw braid, which honors the prominent role Framingham played in the manufacture of hats and bonnets in the 1800s.

    2018 Annual Report Table of Contents Section Page(s) Annual Note from the Executive Director 1 Executive Summary 2‐3 Mission Statement 4‐7 Needs Assessment 8‐11 Measurable Outcomes 12‐15 Board of Directors and Community Supporters 16‐19 Annual Note from the Executive Director For me, 2017 was a year of introductions, observations, and understanding the goals and issues facing both businesses and residents. On the other hand, 2018 was punctuated by placemaking projects, events, and improved business engagement. One thing is certain: Downtown Framingham, Inc.’s (DFI) growing capacity has made its mark on the MetroWest area. With sustainable staffing, DFI can continue to meet the merits of the 4‐point Main Street America model. And through effective outreach, DFI can continue to quickly assess and respond to myriad internal and external forces shaping our cultural, urban area. This year, DFI placed a renewed focus on aggregating, assessing, and reporting feedback on everything from proposed government policies to neighborhood shopping habits. Local decision makers, including Framingham’s City Council, Traffic Commission, and Marijuana Task Force, critically weighed fresh insights from residents and shopkeepers to better understand our fast‐changing urban environment, which in turn informed their own voting behaviors. DFI’s relationship‐building strategies are the foundation of our tagline—“building business, community, and culture.” The confluence of community and business engagement, witnessed through tactics such as cultural events, business technical assistance, digital marketing, and placemaking projects, collectively stitched a better‐connected area primed to effectively collaborate—even when most stakeholders are physically bound to individual commercial spaces.

    FALL NEWSLETTER THE WREN November 2013 Sudbury Valley Trustees Welcomes Lisa Vernegaard as Executive Director By Colin Anderson, Board President After an extensive search, the SVT Board of Directors was delighted to announce that Lisa Vernegaard would be taking over the leadership of SVT, and by the time this newsletter reaches our supporters, she will have completed her first weeks as SVT’s seventh Executive (continued on page 2) Director. We were gratified at the number and caliber of candidates who expressed interest in this posi- tion. Candidates applied from across the eastern half of the United States, offering a variety of backgrounds and some amazing qualifications. In the end, we determined that the best candidate for the job had been working extensively in our watershed for many years and was already known to a number of the staff and board at SVT. She also happens to live right next door in Maynard. Although born and raised in Utah, Lisa has lived and worked in New England for most of her adult life. Since earning her master’s degree in Forest Science at Yale, she has spent the last 20 years of her career at The Trustees of Reservations. Lisa’s knowledge of our watershed and SVT’s 7th Executive Director, (continued on page 2) Lisa Vernegaard PARTNERING WITH HOPKINTON Fruit Street Property and Elmwood Farm Preserved by Conservation Restriction By Christa Collins, Director of Land Protection, and Susan Crane, Land Protection Specialist June was a great month for Hopkinton with the permanent protection of over 225 acres of open space by conservation restrictions (CRs) now held or co-held by Sudbury Valley Trustees.
