Ashland Opens Week With Housing, Select Board, and School Committee Meetings June 29
Ashland heads into a packed civic week with no urgent town-hall announcements breaking Friday, but residents should mark their calendars: a cluster of public meetings lands Monday, June 29, and the library's summer programming rolls into full gear.
TOWN HALL
No new News Flash items were posted by town departments during the coverage window. The town website does note that Ashland's new OpenGov licensing and permitting portal is live for residents and businesses who need to submit applications online.
Looking ahead, Monday, June 29 brings a full slate of public meetings: the Housing Authority holds its monthly session, the Select Board convenes in executive session, the School Committee meets in hybrid format, and the Conservation Commission gathers via Zoom. Residents interested in any of those meetings can find agendas and connection details at ashlandmass.com.
COMMUNITY & ARTS
The Ashland Public Library has a busy stretch ahead. On Monday, June 29, the library hosts LEGO Club for grades K through 3, an in-person Monday Knit and Crochet Club, and a virtual program tied to the national semiquincentennial celebration: "Celebrating America's 250th: Common Soldier: Uncommon Hero," a lecture with historian Bruce E. Mowday.
Tuesday, June 30 adds three more programs: Clocktown Rockers, a music-and-movement session for children ages two through five with a caregiver; Garden to Kitchen Pizza Making for grades one through five; and an in-person Gentle Yoga class. The library has also moved event registration to a new calendar platform — residents looking to sign up should visit the library's updated events page rather than the old portal.
