Project Updates

Howe School

The Howe School project is being awarded the Mayor Thomas M. Menino Legacy Award from Preservation Massachusetts this coming June. 

The Mayor Thomas M. Menino Legacy Award celebrates projects that are transformative, catalytic, embrace the community, create partnerships, and revitalize the best of the past to make something good for the future. 

Billerica Access Television (BATV) moved into the Howe School (390 Boston Road) in November of 2022. If you haven’t yet, make sure to stop by and check out the renovation and all the great work BATV does! 

Happening this Month

Memorial Day Volunteer Opportunity
Help Us Honor Our Veterans!

Every Memorial Day, our community comes together to respectfully decorate the graves of our local veterans with American flags. This meaningful tradition is a way for us all to pay tribute to the brave men and women who have served our country.

We are now recruiting volunteers to help with this solemn event over Memorial Day weekend. If you are available to donate your time, please fill out our volunteer sign-up form on the town’s website – www.BillericaVeteransServices.com

The volunteer sign-up form asks for your contact information, availability, and any special skills or supplies you may be able to contribute. We greatly appreciate your willingness to participate in this patriotic activity.

Together, let’s ensure our fallen heroes are honored with the respect they deserve on this Memorial Day. Sign up to volunteer today!
