BOSTON – In 1982, former Quincy city Solicitor William Golden took a run along Wollaston Beach and came across bits of raw sewage in the sand, prompting him to take action.
Quincy soon sued the Metropolitan District Commission and other agencies over discharges of untreated waste from Nut Island, at the end of Houghs Neck in the city. Eventually, the case led to a court-ordered, multibillion-dollar harbor cleanup and the creation of the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority.
MANCHESTER, N.H. – The creators of Eversound, a wireless headphone system used to enhance group events, Jake Reisch and Matt Reiners won recognition from the U.S. Small Business Administration last week as the agency named them New England's Young Entrepreneurs of 2016, honoring their technology's ability to reconnect elders with their communities.
"We were totally humbled and weren't expecting it," Reisch said. "It's always nice for the team to see some acknowledgment."
