Envisioning Future Holliston
“Envisioning Future Holliston” (previously known as Comprehensive Long Range Planning Committee), was created from a Citizen’s Petition at the May 2021 Spring Town Meeting. This petition was born out of a need to have a Vision and out of that Vision, one comprehensive plan that links together the policies, plans and studies from the many Holliston boards and committees.

Hansel And Gretel – A Cautionary Tale
Local writer, Diane Nault shares another of her recent works.
The children’s story starts out innocently enough. Two young children wandering out in the forest, dropping breadcrumbs along the path hoping to mark their way back home. Deep in the darkness they come upon a wondrous house encrusted with sugary treats – gingerbread covers the sides; candies of all kinds tempt the children to come forward and to sample each delicious bite. They can’t believe their good fortune!
