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. The intent of the petition is to have Town Meeting (the townspeople) own this initiative and see it through to fruition.
This communication includes an update and a request for resident input.

Review of a Dazzling “Annie” by Prana
Little Orphan Annie burst on the scene as a comic strip in 1924 in the NY Daily News. Once the Depression came, Annie represented a pipe dream: an orphan girl rescued and then adopted by the improbably named Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks. The comic strip gave hope to those struggling to put food on the table for their families, just as did the musical 42nd Street with its fantasy song, “We’re in the Money.”
