Here's your local news at a glance for Thursday, the 18th of September.
Good morning, Framingham.
💼 Business
Boston Scientific from Marlborough was named one of Forbes' top 20 employers in Massachusetts after a survey of over 160,000 workers measured work culture, wage parity, and career advancement.
The ranking includes companies that do business in the state and highlights strengths across different sectors.
🎭 Culture
Framingham marked its 325th anniversary on Sept.
17 by opening a time capsule that had been buried during the 300th celebration in 2000 — the event featured remarks from Mayor Charlie Sisitsky and performances by local choirs — in front of the Memorial Building.
🏛️ Government
Incumbent Brandon Ward faces former Planning Board Chair Carol Spack in the District 2 city council race scheduled for November 4—if elected, Spack would be the fourth council member since Framingham became a city in 2018.
Ward focuses on improving local traffic solutions and supporting small businesses—efforts that contrast with Spack's call for better governmental transparency and stricter zoning; residents must register by October 25.
State officials led by Gov. Maura Healey released new COVID-19 vaccination guidelines on Sept.
17 that recommend shots for children aged six to 23 months, seniors, pregnant people and those with high-risk conditions while healthy individuals may choose vaccination. The guidance comes as the state breaks from federal policy ahead of an advisory panel appointed by RFK Jr. meeting on Sept. 19 to vote on recommendations.
