WILMINGTON, MA — Below is a round-up of what’s going on in Wilmington on Saturday, October 7, 2017:
In The News:
- A bad rollover crash on 93 South in Wilmington on Thursday sent a woman to the hospital, according to the Lowell Sun. Wilmington Police assisted State Police at the scene.
- “The town is looking to create a dynamic, multi-year, long-range forecasting model to revenue and expenditures to illustrate to residents and local boards the impact of policy decisions in the long run,” Assistant Town Manager Dee Casey told the Lowell Sun.
