How have communities in this corridor responded to that growth and what role did planning and planners play in that response? To answer these questions, we examined eight representative localities in the region. We found that while all the communities generally face similar pressures and share similar concerns, they have responded to those pressures and concerns in quite different ways. Moreover, master planning turned out to be of limited use and professional planners in those communities generally took their cues from public officials and volunteer boards rather than following “best practices” in the planning field. As a result, local land use planning in Massachusetts is still far behind what occurs in many other parts of the United States. In all the localities, private entities are interested in building new residential and commercial developments, usually on previously undeveloped land.

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.

  • Reports from Town Departments, Committees, Boards & Commissions
    Section I Reports from Town Departments, Committees, Boards, & Commissions General Government Board of Selectmen & Town Administrator The Board of Selectmen saw one change in its membership during calendar 2011; Selectman John Connolly announced that he did not intend to run for reelection at the expiration of his term; Nicholas S. Mabardy was elected to the Board in the spring Town Election. There were several common themes in the initiatives and accomplishments of the Board of Selectmen and Town Administrator this year, notably ensuring continued progress with our many community “greening” programs, advancing the Town’s financial stability, and continued analysis and implementation of efficiency improvements in town operations. In 2010, the Town of Natick was designated as a “Green Community” by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, and in 2011 the Town leveraged the opportunities made available through this designation and associated grant funds to launch several initiatives. These opportunities are very much appreciated and sought out by the Board of Selectmen and Town Administrator, who help to guide the proper stewardship of our resources and community. Specific project examples in 2011 include: • Installation of solar photovoltaic panels at the Wilson and Kennedy Middle Schools and Me- morial and Bennett-Hemenway Elementary Schools for an estimated total first year energy savings of close to $70,000. Further installations have been approved for the new Natick High School and Community/Senior Center for additional estimated first year savings of $20,000. All told, these projects will reduce Natick’s greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide) emissions by an es- timated 1.16 million pounds per year, an amount equivalent to removing 390 cars from Natick roads annually.
