Framingham First Holding Community Meeting in Saxonville

Framingham First, a group of residents who have started a ballot initiative to change Framingham’s town charter, will hold its next community meeting in Saxonville on Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m.

The meeting will take place at the Art House Grille (62 Water Street).

The event is free and open to the public.

Wednesday’s meeting is the fourth community meeting organized by Framingham First Committee members.

Each meeting gives the opportunity for the committee to hear the concerns of fellow residents and discuss a vision for Framingham’s future.

Ballot initiative petitions will be available at the meeting for residents to sign.

Framingham First is a group of residents that has joined together to help make Framingham a better place to live, learn, work and play. Its members want to see our current form of government evolve into a more modern, effective and accountable structure.

Framingham First’s goal is to get a question on the ballot in April 2016 to create a Charter Commission. The Charter Commission is comprised of nine members and will investigate different forms of government and decide what is best for Framingham. Framingham citizens will vote on their proposal at a later election.
