Learning Center for the Deaf to propose expansion in Framingham - Framingham, MA - The MetroWest Daily News
The Learning Center for the Deaf plans to expand.
The school, founded in 1970, wants to build a 20,000-square-foot building on 848 Central St. and will go before the Planning Board tonight for site plan approval and public way access.
The school will make its presentation to the board inside the Memorial Building's Blumer Room.
The building will house pre-kindergarten, kindergarten classrooms, space dedicated to occupational and physical therapy, parent-infant rooms, and a library.
The center has already secured a permit to raze a historic barn on the property to make room for the project.
In other business, the board will continue talks on the $40 million Birch Road wells project, which could tap into a prolific aquifer and supply more than half the town with water, and save Framingham millions of dollars.
In Wayland, some residents are concerned that drawing from the Birch Road wells could harm that town's Happy Hollow wells, located nearby.
Other organizations are worried the project could affect the levels of Lake Cochituate or suck the Sudbury River dry.
The town is working on garnering about $5 million in stimulus money for the project. Framingham has a February deadline for such funding.
