Carol <br /> Kowalski noted that the higher than usual vacancy rate along Hartwell results from <br /> the outdated development model. The Hartwell plan will consider Human Services <br /> - namely, age-friendly community planning, and there will also be a tri-town <br /> (Bedford, Burlington, and Lexington) transportation plan.
