📰 News we're reading

• Real property – Encroachment (masslawyersweekly.com) — A recent Massachusetts legal roundup notes that the Medford Community Development Board denied a special permit for a proposed car wash, a decision with implications for nearby property owners and traffic patterns. The piece primarily analyzes a separate Rockport encroachment case, but also briefly flags Medford's permit ruling alongside other statewide land-use and housing decisions.
   

• Compliance Jobs Report: Sept. 18 (radicalcompliance.com) — Tufts University is hiring a privacy program manager based in Medford, offering a six-figure salary range for candidates interested in data protection work on campus. That listing appears within a broader national compliance-jobs roundup, which also highlights new chief compliance officers, promotions at major companies, and other open roles across industries.
