Greenfield Recorder, July 22, 2019
Congressman James McGovern hosted a discussion about the issues plaguing the North Quabbin region — including transportation, aging infrastructure and affordable housing — on Friday in Petersham.

Local, state and federal officials met Friday to discuss the issues plaguing the North Quabbin region — including transportation, aging or long-abandoned infrastructure, and affordable housing — and to brainstorm possible solutions.

The officials, as well as representatives from various economic development agencies, both public and private, met at the Quabbin Retreat-Heywood Hospital in Petersham. There was a consistent message: More collaboration is needed between the North Quabbin towns and agencies to spur economic growth.
