📰 News we're reading

• Winchester Planning Board votes to allow 972 Main St. development to be done 'by right' (winchesternews.org) — A key Main Street project at 972 Main St. will now move forward "by right," after the Winchester Planning Board allowed the developer to withdraw its special permit plans and proceed under existing zoning. The change shifts review to standard building permits but keeps design tweaks like basement parking. Neighbors should expect the long-discussed replacement of the former muffler shop to advance.
   

• Winchester Hospital presents Big Wheels for Little Patients (winchesternews.org) — Young patients at Winchester Hospital now have three ride-on "big wheels" to cruise the halls, thanks to a gift from longtime trustee and donor Bill McCance. The playful cars, complete with vanity plates, are meant to brighten hospital stays for local children and families. The piece also reminds readers how community support keeps Winchester News operating.
