Braintree, Chelmsford, Cohasset, Fall River, Hanover, Hingham, Hull, Norwell, Quincy, Scituate, Watertown and Weymouth.

Please speak up if your town has not gotten the conversion notice (through January) and it's not among the 12 I just listed. Thanks!

You can pick them up at the office.

As of now, both are in the clear. I wouldn't expect expanded basic to remain in the clear forever though.
