New Task Forces Sets Its Sights On Dorchester's Future


The Dorchester Times has learned a new community task force has been formed by village leaders to address Dorchester's future growth and quality of life.  

According to an e-mail we received, the Dorchester Community Task Force is comprised of younger residents who live within the village limits.  The group will study current challenges and opportunities facing Dorchester, as well as propose fresh solutions and a comprehensive plan moving forward.  Among the issues the group will analyze will be housing, infrastructure, businesses, and recreation.

"This is a wonderful step," the source wrote in her e-mail to the Times. "It is so refreshing to see a younger generation of leaders step forward and carry the water for our community.  

"Dorchester offers a lot of promise and good standard of living, with a new school, new water system, and good people who have many options nearby for jobs and careers.  We need younger residents to have a voice on some important decisions that will be made in the near future."

We are told the task force members are: LJ Barley, Kelly Vyhnalek, Penny Keller, and Brent Zoubek.

We tip our collective hat to these young Dorchester leaders and we offer our support in every way possible.

  1. It would be great to get new families to move into Dorchester but if the basketball teams coop with Milford, that will be one more factor to keep people away. People move to small towns so their kids can be involved and participate (play) on all sports teams. Let's all hope the school board is listening to the majority of the townspeople and will vote to keep the basketball programs in our HOMETOWN!

  3. In a world gone mad, steeped in moral decay, brainless celebrity culture and global schemes, the future of news and community discourse is the model established by this blog. GOOD WORK, DORCHESTER TIMES. I hope you folks are involved in the town's future plans as well.

    1. Maybe one of those individuals mention in the story helps with the Times. If so, again I say GOOD WORK.
