Vote on June 8-9!
Please be sure to attend this meeting to vote to purchase the Shute parcel near South Street:
Town of Norwell
Annual Town Meeting
Monday, June 8 through Tuesday June 9
Approximately 7 –10 p.m.
At this meeting, residents of the Town will vote on the Town’s acquisition of 2 parcels of Shute land (previously the locus of the Norwell Commons 40B development): 6.26 acres for $225K; 5.84 acres by gift, provided the purchase of the 6.26 acres is executed.
FONS believes this purchase is in the best interest of our Town because:
- The land provides a natural buffer to the noise and pollution of Route 3 and the Hanover Mall
- The land provides a critical buffer to Third Herring Brook
- The land abuts the high school and library and provides an opportunity for the Town to expand those facilities while maintaining control over ensuring such development is responsible
- It gives the Town control of the land
- ~12 acres for $225K is a great deal
