1. Barrett Planning Group Working with Cohasset, Mass. on Proposed Cohasset Village Local Historic District (cohassetanchor.com) — Cohasset is weighing a new local historic district for Cohasset Village that could expand protections for many of the town’s historic buildings and streetscapes. A study committee and Barrett Planning Group are running public outreach this summer ahead of a possible Town Meeting vote this fall, and residents, businesses, and property owners are encouraged to learn how the proposal might affect them.
   

2. Drop-in Social Worker Hours at the Paul Pratt Memorial Library (cohassetanchor.com) — Cohasset residents can meet with town social workers for free, no-appointment drop-in support at the Paul Pratt Memorial Library on several dates in July and August. Staff can also be reached by phone, and residents 60 and older have an additional contact through Cohasset Elder Affairs Outreach for tailored assistance.
   

3. Garlic mustard is on the Prohibited Plant List in Massachusetts. Here's why. (cbsnews.com) — Garlic mustard, now on Massachusetts’ Prohibited Plant List, is spreading rapidly in Cohasset’s woods and parks, prompting local nonprofit Wild Cohasset to lead aggressive removal efforts. Founder Lisey Good and Cohasset High seniors are tackling infestations in places like Wheelwright Park while urging residents to pull, bag, and trash the plant and replant with natives like golden ragwort.
   

4. Cohasset exacts revenge on Norwell to take home state title (bostonherald.com) — Cohasset High’s girls lacrosse team just captured the Division 3 state championship with a 9–6 win over rival Norwell at Babson College. Led by standout performances from Avery Regan and Molly Campbell, the Skippers overcame penalties and a tight first half to secure the program’s fourth state title and first since 2024.
   

5. Contested Ground: Where Expert Opinions on Standard of Care Are Challenged (jdsupra.com) — A recent federal court case involving the Town of Cohasset found that an allegedly undersized drainage pipe design on a dam rehabilitation project did not, by itself, prove professional negligence. Using this and several other North American cases, the article explains how judges scrutinize expert testimony on construction “standard of care,” stressing that failures, code compliance, or tough contract language alone don’t automatically decide who is at fault.
