Earlier this week, Boxford unveiled a brand new solar field behind the Town Hall. After years of hard work from many members of the town as well as the State Legislature, Boxford now proudly operates a 1-megawatt solar field (roughly 2,700 panels) that will help the town and state greatly reduce their CO2 emissions. This is a huge step toward cleaner energy in Massachusetts. Congratulations, Boxford!

Stop by to meet with Representative Mirra and ask questions, voice concerns, discuss local or legislative issues, or just stop by to chat! Hope to see you there.
Representative Mirra was recently interviewed by Christian M. Wade of the Salem News to discuss the funding of MassHealth, including the $200 million in new fees for private businesses passed on Beacon Hill. As a member of the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing, Rep. Mirra has a deep understanding of the complexities of our public health care system in the state. He supported Governor Baker’s proposal to reform various aspects of the program and reign in the overwhelming costs of MassHealth – “It’s become totally unsustainable,” he said. “Everything else in the budget gets squeezed.”
