An Act designating the new Department of Youth Services facility in Westboro as the Zara Cisco Brough Princess White Flower Facility. |
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
Whereas, the deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to designate forthwith the new Department of Youth Services facility in Westboro as the Zara Cisco Brough-“Princess White Flower” Facility, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
The new Department of Youth Services Facility, located at 288 Lyman Street in the town of Westboro, shall be designated and known as the Zara Cisco Brough-“Princess White Flower” Facility, in honor of Zara Cisco Brough, a prominent and well respected member of the Nipmuc Nation Tribe in Grafton, Massachusetts who died in 1988 and who played a key role in founding the Commission on Indian Affairs and serving on that Commission in Boston for 10 years from 1974 to 1984. In addition to attending an engineering college in Washington, D.C., and New York University and acting as a consultant to the Army Corps, Ms. Brough of Grafton was employed as a draftsman, designer, technical writer and supervisor of government projects and, in her spare time, devoted many hours of her life to serving on various local and state boards, commissions and historical societies for the benefit of Native American tribes of Massachusetts. The division of capital asset management shall erect suitable markers bearing the designation in compliance with applicable state standards.
