FALMOUTH – After a year of increased opioid overdose deaths in Massachusetts, first responders, healthcare workers, policy makers, law enforcement, researchers and other community shareholders will come together June 5 in a virtual “Falmouth Forum on Opioids and Overdose” to discuss and educate the public about innovative approaches to help ameliorate the effects of this crisis and related policies.
Special guest will be Dr. João Goulão, Portugal’s Director General of the Service for Intervention on Addictive Behaviors and Dependencies, who has been recognized for global leadership in helping to improve the opioid crisis in his country over the past 20-plus years.
The Falmouth Select Board approved a lease of the historic Emerald House to the Cape Cod Cape Verdean Museum and Cultural Society at its meeting on Monday, February 22.
âI think it is a great fit for the house, and I move we approve the lease,â board member Douglas H. Jones said
The residential zoning limits of the Emerald House confine its use to philanthropic, as a library or as a museum. The request for proposal issued by the town gave first priority to uses that connect with the Portuguese immigrant heritage and the heritage of Portuguese-American farming on the property.
