• Historic synagogue sold to developer (plymouthindependent.org) — Plymouth's Congregation Beth Jacob has sold its century‑old downtown synagogue to a local developer and is raising funds to build a fully accessible new home on Summer Street. Until the new building is ready, the congregation will rely on borrowed worship spaces, even as members reflect on the history of Jewish life in town and the practical reasons for moving.
   

• A pilot program in Plymouth hopes to crack the code on insurance in coastal communities (newsfromthestates.com) — Plymouth is launching a nine‑month, state‑funded pilot to understand how sea‑level rise and extreme storms could drive up insurance costs and erode the town's tax base, especially in lower‑income waterfront neighborhoods. Working with nonprofit InnSure, officials will model how specific resiliency projects—like raising homes, rebuilding seawalls, and elevating a boat ramp—might cut risk, stabilize property taxes, and attract future grant funding.
   

• Clancy's co-worker recalls asking her about mother who killed kids, reveals eerie response (meaww.com) — In Plymouth, the Lindsay Clancy case continues to grip attention as a former co-worker describes her as an emotional, devoted mother and recalls an unsettling past conversation about another mom who killed her children.
