Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The planned outdoor boxes would give residents more ways to obtain naloxone, a medication that can reverse an opioid overdose. The Board also reviewed local overdose data, while noting that the figures include only incidents involving police at Westfield residences and exclude some overdoses treated elsewhere or reversed by bystanders. Transfer Station regulations and a pay-as-you-throw bag program remain under review, with public hearings planned for next month.
