Is anyone/does anyone know a reasonably priced notary in New Bedford? I am a solo business owner and a notary who occasionally needs outside notary services at my office in the South End. I looked online and found someone for $100 per signature which seems really excessive to me (I charge $15 in my office without travel). Please pass on any recommendations or reach out if you know someone!
With the budget problems, I can't see how the city can make up for this omission, but it clearly will dilute the advantage of having rail service to Boston.
Heyy, does anyone know any jobs hiring in New Bedford or around the area? I am a college student and in desperate need of a job for the summer

Hello! I have some clothes that are still very good quality and I would love to donate them to people who need them, instead of ending up in a store where people have to purchase them.
Please let me know if you know of any place that actually gives out these donated clothes for free. I would appreciate any recommendations!
My fiance and i are getting married at the Kilburn mill in New Bedford this summer, i’m looking for somewhere we can go to quick to take pictures during cocktail hour. I know this may be tough but somewhere kinda woodsy preferably? any suggestions are appreciated. Cobblestones Downtown is our plan B.
The proposed 2027 budget is set to be released tonight. In that budget Jon Mayor plans to reduce both police and fire personnel from daily shift totals as well as close a fire engine. This will significantly delay response times for police and fire, putting citizens of New Bedford at an increased risk. The city continues to grow, which is great, but we can’t take on all this new infrastructure without the foundations to keep it all safe.

Hello.
I will be traveling to your area soon.
My daughter wants me to build her a raised garden...dad can do!
Im going to need about 4 cu. yds of soil/compost.
Is there a landscaping supply store in the area that can help?
I'd rather use them, avoiding the cost of bagged soil.
Any help will be appreciated!
I’ve been trying to read through the available information on the proposed closure of New Bedford Fire Station 9, and I think this 2015 New Bedford Fire & Emergency Medical Services study is worth revisiting.
The part that stood out to me is that the study specifically did not examine closing Station 9 because removing it from the response system would leave a large northern or western area of the city without acceptable fire protection coverage.
That matters even more when compared with NFPA 1710, the national standard commonly used for career fire department staffing and deployment benchmarks. NFPA 1710 references a 240-second / 4-minute travel-time benchmark for the first arriving engine company at a fire suppression incident, and a 480-second / 8-minute benchmark for the initial full-alarm assignment at low- and medium-hazard structure fires.
So my concern is simple: before closing Station 9, has the city released an updated response-time and coverage analysis showing how this closure affects those benchmarks in the north end and west-central areas of New Bedford?
I understand the city is facing serious budget issues, but closing a fire station is not just a budget decision. It is a public safety decision. Residents deserve to know how response times, school coverage, industrial areas, and firefighter safety will be affected before a station is taken out of service.
This is not meant as an attack on anyone. It’s a public safety concern. If the city has updated data showing that closing Station 9 will not leave residents with unacceptable coverage gaps, then that information should be made public.
