The League of Women Voters of Westford is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization of people of all genders, ages, and backgrounds. The League’s goals are to encourage active and informed participation in government, increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influence public policy through education and advocacy.
Come to the League of Women Voters’ Holiday Party on Wednesday, December 6, 2023 at 7:30 p.m. to celebrate the season and learn more about the League in a casual, relaxed environment. The gathering will be held at the Westford Museum, 2 Boston Road, and will include light refreshments.
This year we’ll also be collecting food donations for the Westford Food Pantry. Not a requirement, but if you like, bring an item of unexpired, non-perishable food in unopened original packaging to the party and we’ll be happy to deliver the items to the pantry at the Cameron Senior Center. A list of needed items is Here.
The Holiday Party, like our monthly Civic Socials, is an informal get-together, open to all, where people can learn what’s happening in and around town and about what the League is doing. The League’s work is divided into two parts: Voter Service and Issues and Action. Membership gives you the opportunity to learn more about Westford, take a continuing and intensive course in government at all levels, and develop leadership skills.
Town Wants Your Opinion on Housing Needs for Adults 55 and Older
Westford is working on a bylaw amendment to satisfy state law mandating a zoning district in which multifamily housing is permitted “as-of-right.” Key to the planning process is understanding housing types, desired amenities, affordability, and suitability for different ages and abilities. Town staff is seeking residents’ input to understand housing needs and opinions on multifamily development. The survey should take about five minutes to complete.
You can participate in the survey by:
- Taking it online at this link,
- Downloading it to print and fill out, or
- Picking up a copy at the Land Use Management Department on the 2nd floor of Town Hall, the Cameron Senior Center, or the Fletcher Library.
Paper copies of the survey should be returned to the Land Use Management Department, Town Hall, 55 Main St. The survey will run until midnight on December 4, 2023. Any questions? Email Land Use staff Here or call 978-692-5524.
