Today's riddle: Who's in favor of bringing back Roman Numerals? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. City Council backs effort to bring back zoning review committee (homenewshere.com) — Woburn's City Council has voted to revive the Zoning Ordinance Review Committee, which will immediately tackle major state-mandated zoning changes that could reshape local neighborhoods. New laws now make duplexes and accessory dwelling units by-right uses, and ease housing development in commercial districts, meaning many single-family homeowners may soon have options to add up to two extra units on their lots.
2. Eastern Mass. girls' soccer: Players of the Week for Sept. 16-22 (bostonglobe.com) — A standout week in Eastern Massachusetts girls' soccer included Andover's Hannah Lee scoring the only goal in a 1–0 win over Woburn, then adding two more against Mashpee. Other players from Somerset Berkley, West Bridgewater, and Masconomet also earned recognition for big scoring and goalkeeping performances during the Sept. 16–22 stretch.
3. Winchester offers residents wide range of support resources (homenewshere.com) — Winchester's Health Department is steering residents toward a wide network of support services, including food assistance at Woburn Social Concern's pantry for those facing insecurity. The resource list also covers mental health, addiction recovery, domestic violence, grief, veterans' services, and help for older adults, with clear phone numbers and contacts so nearby Woburn-area residents can quickly find the right kind of help.
4. $56M Verdict in Amazon Delivery Crash Damages Trial (expertinstitute.com) — A major personal-injury trial held at Middlesex Superior Court in Woburn resulted in a $56 million verdict against Amazon over a catastrophic 2024 crash in New Hampshire. For Woburn residents, it highlights the high-profile cases moving through the local courthouse and how late liability stipulations can turn a complex dispute into a fast, damages-only trial.
