Wellesley Business Buzz: New life breathed into Zoots; Newton-Wellesley Hospital ranks; State grants town $25K for climate change work, free tots music class at Linden Square

August 1, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

Here’s the latest Wellesley, Mass., business news:

New life breathed into Zoots

*Zoots, which jilted Wellesley and other communities at the start of 2018 when it went bankrupt, is making a comeback thanks to a company called Bay State Linen that bought it out last year. Bay State hired a former Zoots route manager in July to begin the process of reuniting items with their owners, and has received positive feedback from people who never thought they’d see their stuff again. Bay State, which got its start serving commercial customers, currently has 1 driver and 1 purple Zoots van, and has begun offering service in nearby communities including Needham, Newton and Weston. Wellesley could be added to that list within a month or two, according to a company rep. Here’s a letter from Bay State that gives the backstory on its Zoots buyout.

State grants town $25K for climate change work

The Town of Wellesley has been accepted to the Massachusetts Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) program and will receive a $25,000 grant for projects to combat climate change. Wellesley will now also have a shot at part of a larger pool of $10.3M in state funds.

The Wellesley Board of Selectmen, Board of Health, Planning Board, Natural Resources Commission (NRC), and Wetlands Protection Committee worked on the program application. The initial grant will be used to conduct a vulnerability assessment report. Climate change concerns in Wellesley include those related to residents’ health as well as the environment’s health (e.g., tree cover, flooding, etc.).
