“Transportation infrastructure is vital to maintain the high quality of life in Massachusetts, and ensuring that Natick, Sherborn, and Millis have the funding to address local transportation needs is one of my top priorities,” said Representative Linsky.   “As a life-long Natick resident, I drive these roads every day and sit in the same traffic as everyone else. I am pleased that the funding was included in the bill passed by the House.”
