Free condoms at 2 a.m.? Narcan on a Sunday? Winter gloves when the temperature drops and everything's closed? In Somerville, there's now a vending machine for that—and in the first eight weeks, residents obtained nearly 1,000 items from two 24/7 public health kiosks, with many items dispensed after regular business hours when most resources are locked up for the night.  

It’s official. TransMedics Group, Inc., a global leader in organ transplant technologies, will relocate its global headquarters to Somerville's Assembly Innovation Park. The move represents a major win for the city, bringing an estimated $75 million in new tax revenue over ten years, 900 jobs to the area including 600 new positions by 2032, and significant community investments in education and public safety.

Mayor Jake Wilson is welcoming Ohemeng Kyeremateng as the City’s new Director of Parks & Recreation. Kyeremateng brings more than a decade of municipal parks and recreation leadership experience focused on expanding access, strengthening community programming, and improving the stewardship of public recreational spaces.
