Visioning The Landing Their will be a public meeting with the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) on Thursday 09 July 2009 beginning at 6:300pm at the Tufts Library Jones Room.

The products of this work, which will be completed by this fall, will be a general plan for the Landing area (in both municipalities); recommended zoning changes; and recommendations for parking, façade guidelines, and other actions to increase the vibrancy of the business district.

Community Events Calendar	The Wall Project
Thanks to all who attended our June meeting with Lyn Frano, coordinator of the Weymouth Substance Prevention Team. She brought us a tremendous amount of information. Thank you, Lyn, for attending our meeting and bringing your message to Homestead Landing. It was a very educational evening. Check out The Teams web page.	52 Weeks For Weymouth Join the campaign that was begun by Weymouth resident Dianne Molano. She has resolved to support Weymouth businesses as much as possible for 52 weeks beginning on 14 February 2009. With the economy being shaky and the stimulus benefit to Weymouth unknown at this time, this is a positive step the residents can take to support the businesses that generate tax dollars for our town. When you go out to shop, think Weymouth first. Calling cards are available to drop off at Weymouth businesses where you shop. If you have any questions or comments, email gizmomac@comcast.net (Calling cards are now available at the Town Hall, Senior Center and Tufts Library. See list of stores with calling card drop boxes) Also see Flyer
