PEPPERELL >> Members of Pepperell’s Council on Aging were thrilled to receive a $30,000 check from the State of Massachusetts earmarked in the Fiscal Year 2025 budget for the Albert Harris / Pepperell Senior Center’s kitchen upgrades.

“State Representative Margaret Scarsdale filed the bill as part of the budget and advocated for it in the House and Senate,” said Bethany Loveless, Director of the Albert Harris / Pepperell Senior Center. “It passed unanimously.”

State Rep. Margaret Scarsdale has been able to secure over $7 million for the six towns that she represents.
