- Worth noticing
- The homepage lists Gloucester, Malden, and Manchester as live sites, with Salem, Medford, and Beverly marked in the works.
Field notes
The homepage separates towns marked live from those listed as in the works, making the network’s current footprint legible. It describes agendas and minutes as readable text with plain-English summaries, and names 311 requests plus budget, school, housing, and street-level information as part of the offering. Publick says the network is independent of municipal governments; the supplied page does not expose the underlying town records.
