“We had great applicants,” said District 7 City Councilor Phil Ottaviani, who chairs the Council’s Appointments subcommittee. “It was an impressive group.”

In November 2020, Framingham voters approved the Community Preservation Act, which adds a 1% surcharge to property taxes to raise money to pay for open space, historic preservation, recreation and community housing development projects.
