FRAMINGHAM - Stearns Farm has continued to make progress on the installation of a new well at the site.
The farm began the process back in April, as they worked alongside the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to scout the proper site for a well.
Since then, the farm has secured $14,000 in funding for the project as the NRCS has designed a well and pipeline. The pitch features a 17-foot well and pump, along with over 500 feet of buried pipes that stretch across the farm as well as additional tubing for blueberry irrigation.
Pending a review of potential historical artifacts on the site, the farm will be permitted to safely dig. From there, the Framingham Conservation Commission will need to approve of the well plan. A public meeting in October will determine if the farm is permitted to move forward with the installation.

Currently outside of Framingham State’s Danforth Art Museum are a set of bright pink chairs—they’re called the Conversation Chairs, and they’re meant to initiate dialogues between neighbors and to inspire participants to draw representations of what those talks featured.
Following a community meeting on Monday, leaders on the project noted the first phase of construction into Framingham should hopefully begin in 2029.
With a 1.69% CIP shift—which was the same shift seen in FY25—residential taxpayers are slated to pay $11.91 per $1,000 of appraised property value. Commercial property owners would pay $24.13 per $1,000.
