• Plymouth Septic Loan Fund Spent $546,914 Since Last Fall as Precinct Chairs Review New $400,000 Request (southshore.news subscription) — Plymouth's septic repair loan fund is running low after spending over $546,000 since last fall, so precinct chairs are weighing a new $400,000 borrowing request headed to the Oct. 17 Town Meeting. They also heard proposals for a one-year data center moratorium and zoning changes affecting Plymouth Industrial Park and Camelot Drive, which could shape future development and infrastructure in town.
   

• Stephen P. Govoni (villages-news.com) — Plymouth is remembering Stephen Paul Govoni, a former resident who raised his family here while working long days split between Liberty Mutual in Boston and driving Plymouth & Brockton buses. The 89-year-old Air Force veteran, storyteller, and devoted "Papa" later retired to Florida, and friends and relatives can honor him at a Wareham visitation on Sunday, October 18.
