Recent community initiatives have focused on improving local schools and addressing housing needs. In North Attleboro, Keep North Attleboro Beautiful partnered with Total Landscapes to enhance the Roosevelt Avenue School's gardens, with Principal Jeannine Magliocco expressing gratitude for the improvements. Meanwhile, in Waterford, renovations at Waterford High School aim to create a dedicated space for Grade 7-8 students amid growing enrollment pressures, stemming from residential development. In Youngstown, Jubilee Urban Development is working to restore South High School, with plans for a potential trade school on-site, seeking community support for fundraising. Additionally, Lansing is revitalizing the historic Walter French building into 76 affordable housing units alongside an on-site childcare center, a project supported by various funding sources and expected to be operational by next year. These efforts highlight a commitment to enhancing educational environments and community resources.
