FRAMINGHAM, MA — Come June 15, it's back to the change jar* for drivers in Framingham.

The resumption of parking rules is just one of the changes this summer following the effective end of the pandemic. In late May, the Board of Health agreed to lift a series of pandemic orders, including the eviction moratorium and the mask order.
