The future of the Upper Charles Trail Committee is to be discussed at the Select Board meeting on Tuesday, May 9, after Town Meeting overwhelmingly approved of the committee’s abolishment by voting in favor of a non-binding article.

As part of the Main Street Corridor Project, the town announced that Phase 3 of full-depth excavation from Muffin House Cafe to the east end of the project begins Monday, May 8, and is expected to take three weeks to complete.

This week’s Baypath Adoptable Animal is 1-year-old John Jacob, who “came up from the South in hopes of finding a new home.”

Greyhound Friends will hold its Spring Open House on Saturday, May 20, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. The day’s activities will include a remembrance ceremony, vendors, music, refreshments, a silent auction/raffle and visits with adoptable dogs.

Our latest Business Profile highlights The Sassy Fox, a consignment store that features upscale items that are pristine, current and affordable.

In this week’s Professional Insights, Mark Freeman of Edward Jones notes that a new law may offer financial opportunities.
