Framingham-Natick Regional Dispatch Center Established (+ Awarded $4.3M Grant)

The City of Framingham and Town of Natick came together to establish a regional 911 emergency communication district and we're awarded a $4.3M state grant to fund the early stages of this joint venture. The target date is 2026 (to be fully operational).

Some quotes from Town of Natick leaders:

“This is an impressive example of what regional, shared services can provide to Massachusetts communities” said Natick Town Administrator Jamie Errickson. “I’m confident that this grant will accelerate this collaborative effort and I look forward to advancing the Regional Dispatch Center with our Framingham partners.”

“I would like to thank the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security State 911 Department for supporting this important effort through its grant program," said Natick Police Chief James Hicks. “Our Public Safety Dispatchers have always been the very best and well trained. This partnership will build on their professionalism and lead to a more efficient delivery of public safety services to the region. It will also create a career path for these dedicated workers that will help draw more people to this critical position in public safety operations.”

“This collaboration is an amazing opportunity to streamline critical functions and enhance the services we provide to our communities and our first responders.” said Natick Fire Chief Jason Ferschke. “We are grateful to the Executive Office of Public Safety and the State 911 Department for this opportunity”

It is odd to be the news - but I will be the City of Framingham's new Public Information Officer starting in May.

I am meeting with JVF Solutions and owner James Feudo today - who will be the new webmaster for SOURCE. James will take over as webmaster for SOURCE as of May 1.

SOURCE will move from a journalistic news site to a community bulletin board then.
I will have NO day-to-day interaction with the website.

Community organizations like the Natick Center Cultural District, the MetroWest YMCA, Morse Institute Library, PTOs, Natick Youth Hockey, and businesses like funeral homes can have logins to the site to post press releases.
Government and school entities like the Town of Natick and Natick Public Schools can also request logins.

I will help to set up logins through Saturday.
Starting May 1 email [email protected]
for logins and technical support in posting.
