The March 8, 2010 Westwood Special Town Meeting was a wonderful expression of democracy in action. Over 600 citizens of our town participated in this meeting. This was one of the most well attended Town Meetings in Westwood's recent history.

As always, our Moderator did an exceptional job to ensure that all viewpoints were heard, and all citizens were treated with respect.

Milton opened their new /renovated library last April. The increased usage statistics and intangible community benefits are staggering.  Please just imagine how amazing it would be if this resource, managed by our talented library professionals, is added to our wonderful town. As an added benefit, the state would contribute approximately $4 million to assist us if we vote yes at Town Meeting - Mar 8, and the Town Election - Apr 27.

If approved, the new Westwood Library would be an incredible resource used by all: young children, pre-teens, teens, adults, and our seniors.

This could be a once in a generation opportunity for our town.

Thank you, Dan
