• New Framingham dispatch center has target opening date. What to expect (metrowestdailynews.com) — Framingham is moving ahead with a new regional 911 dispatch center at 188 Concord Street that will serve Framingham, Natick, and Wayland, with hiring expected to start this summer and operations targeted for early 2027. City officials say grants are helping cover the $12 million project and initial salaries, and current local dispatchers are guaranteed interviews as policies, radio systems, and training are standardized.
• Meet the Locals (hippopress.com) — If you’re looking to support wildlife from right here in Framingham, the article points you to native plants and even suggests shopping for spring wildflowers at Garden in the Woods. It explains which perennials, trees, and shrubs best feed pollinators and birds, and offers practical tips on choosing and protecting oaks, maples, and other natives in typical suburban yards.
• Framingham Time Capsule Opened After 32 Years (iheart.com) — Framingham residents just got a rare look back in time as the city opened a 1994 time capsule filled with photos, menus, and documents highlighting efforts against racism and discrimination.
