Even before a seven-alarm blaze in 2015 destroyed a Stevens Street Mill building, Haverhill was in talks to redevelop the sprawling industrial site. Today, the Little River Dam near Lafayette Square remains an impediment to development, but has also been named as a “climate-related hazard.”
The city is now seeking the public’s opinion on potential benefits and impacts of removing the dam during an online forum Wednesday, March 24, at 6 p.m. A link to the forum will be provided by the city closer to the date. The state’s Energy and Environmental Affairs Department awarded Haverhill $70,600 to conduct a Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness study after city councilors approved the climate change grant application last June.

RACINE â Local schools, Racine Countyâs two health departments and Ascension All Saints Hospital are working together to ensure that teachers receive their COVID-19 vaccines as quickly as possible.
Educators became eligible for vaccination in Wisconsin as part of Group 1B on Monday, the first day in more than 11 months that most Racine Unified students have been able to return to classrooms. On Wednesday, the first Racine Unified teachers in 1B are set to receive their initial shots.
All RUSD teachers who want to be vaccinated may have begun the two-dose process within three weeks.
Vaccinations for some teachers at private schools in Racine County have already begun being vaccinated, too.

SOME concerns have been raised that new art sculptures planned for the centre of Lerwick – and close to a pub – might be a âtarget for misdemeanoursâ by people out on the town at night.
Three sculptures are planned for the Living Lerwick and Shetland Arts project LOCUS, as well as another piece of public art near the Town Hall.

One sculpture is planned for outside Cee and Jays, while the others would be located near Boots and outside the RBS branch to form a public art trail. Some murals are also planned as part of the project.
