| Sharon is a growing town of 16,000 people midway between Boston and
Providence. An active network of civic organizations, shared appreciation
of the diversity of its population and a cherished history make Sharon a
vibrant community.
The community spirit of Sharon residents is exemplified by a recent vote at
Town Meeting. In May, 1993, townspeople of all ages voted overwhelmingly
to support a school addition despite its burden on taxpayers. An elderly
couple proudly told a representative of a local newspaper: "Tell them we
voted for the override".
The cohesiveness of this community is balanced by the town's openness to
newcomers. Recently, a local Rabbi was one of the driving forces behind
Sharon's welcome of the Islamic Center of New England which broke ground
here for its new religious and social new headquarters. Moreover, Sharon
has a strong commitment to METCO and a Sharon resident who is the local
METCO coordinator is a strong candidate for Norfolk County teacher of the
year.
Years ago at the local railroad station, there was a sign, which has long
since disappeared, which proudly proclaimed: "Sharon, a nice place to live
because it's naturally beautiful". Though the sign is gone, Sharon remains
a place of natural beauty. It is the site of Massachusetts Audubon
Society's first wildlife sanctuary, 350 acre Lake Massapoag, and Borderland
State Park. Despite recent development, the town has maintained through
creative planning and zoning much of the green space and sparkle that made
it a popular summer resort before World War II. However Sharon's deepest
beauty and strength, residents feel, comes from the community spirit of its
diverse population. |
