Sharon

SHARON — As the months passed and pandemic fears lessened somewhat, some old traditions rekindled and progress was made on three major expansion projects in 2022.

SHARON — Acting on the critical need for affordable housing outlined in the Affordable Housing Plan approved by residents in 2022, representatives of the Sharon Housing Trust outlined preliminary ideas for renovation of the under-used Community Center building at the regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen on Tuesday, Dec. 13.

SHARON — Responding to strong public support at the November Town Meeting for the town’s partnership with Comcast, the Board of Selectmen allocated $25,000 in federal ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) funds to support the work of the Contract Performance Manager (CPM) for the project. The action was taken at its regular meeting on Tuesday, Dec.

About 30 residents gathered at dusk on the Sharon Town Green to observe the beginning of the eight-day Jewish celebration of Hanukkah by lighting the first of the candles on the town’s traditional menorah on Sunday,  Dec. 18. One additional candle will be lit on each day.
