• Raagini, Indian Ridge, Chateau: August Restaurant Inspections (andovermanews.com) — Andover's latest Health Division reports show which local restaurants, cafes, and markets passed inspections cleanly and which were cited for issues like improper food temperatures, pests, or missing safety procedures. Before your next meal out in town, you can see exactly what inspectors found at familiar spots on Main Street, River Road, and beyond, and how many quickly returned to full compliance.
• Andover family honors Sidney Mae Olson with run, rainbow party (wcvb.com) — Andover residents gathered for the third annual Sidney Mae Olson Rainbow Fund one-mile run and rainbow party, honoring the life of a local girl killed in a 2023 crash. The event promoted street safety, raised money for a planned natural bike park nearby, and highlighted the community's growing support for creating safer spaces where children can move freely.
• MA: 18 Companies to Receive $27 Million to Help Retain, Expand Clean-Tech Companies (tradeandindustrydev.com) — Massachusetts has awarded $27.2 million in clean-tech tax incentives, including support for Reframe, which operates a smaller plant in Andover and plans to grow from 80 to 100 employees after opening a new Billerica factory. The program, funded through the Mass Leads Act, rewards recent capital investments and job growth, aiming to strengthen the state's climatetech industry and related local job opportunities.
