Join the movement for smart growth in Holliston!
State Representative James Arena-DeRosa and the Holliston Democratic Town Committee are sponsoring a forum on housing. The community event will take place on Wednesday, September 18th, from 7-9pm, in person at Holliston Town Hall and virtually on Zoom.
In January 2021, Massachusetts passed the MBTA Communities Law. At this forum, we will discuss how the law benefits Holliston residents, including first-time homeowners, renters, businesses, people looking to downsize, and seniors. We'll share thoughts and ideas about how Holliston can balance its residents' needs to achieve smart growth in the future.
The event will be moderated by State Representative James Arena De-Rosa. James was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 2022. Representing the towns of Holliston, Hopkinton, Sherborn, and Millis, Rep. Arena-DeRosa now channels a lifetime of public service knowledge into advocating for his communities while addressing pressing issues such as climate change, reproductive rights, veteran's services, supporting public education, worker’s rights, healthcare, and expanding affordable housing.
