The Town of Wellesley has named Stephanie Hawkinson, previously an education/outreach coordinator for the Natural Resources Commission, as its communications and project manager.

Her job will involve helping the town the get word out about its latest news, events and projects, including the Unified Plan.

(While we had Hawkinson’s attention we asked for an update on the Unified Plan, which the last time we heard about was in the public comments stage. She says: “The town received 328 comments, which were compiled over the summer and will be shared with the Unified Plan project management group in the next few weeks. That group will provide final direction on what changes will be made and send it back to the consultant to develop the final draft. In accordance with state law, that final version will be presented to the Planning Board for adoption and most likely the Board of Selectmen for endorsement. The timing for this last part of the project is still being worked out.”)
