On the South Shore, resiliency is more than an idea. For coastal communities, it is becoming an increasingly important part of how we prepare for the future.

In Marshfield, the recently established Atlantic Resiliency Innovation Institute (ARII) is bringing together science, workforce development and practical solutions to help communities better understand and respond to coastal hazards.

Founded through a collaboration involving the Marshfield Chamber of Commerce, Northeastern University’s College of Professional Studies, the Town of Marshfield and the Marshfield Public School District, ARII is working toward two connected goals: protecting at-risk shorelines and helping build a local workforce for the growing field of coastal resiliency.

From real-time coastal data to hands-on workforce training, ARII is looking toward the future of the South Shore—and the people who will help shape it.

Twenty-five years on, the sunrise still comes.

That's the quiet lesson of this day — that even after the darkest morning, light returns. We remember the lives lost, the first responders who ran toward danger, and the way a shaken nation chose to hold each other a little closer.

Today, take a moment to reflect. Hug the people you love. And carry forward the unity this day taught us, even now.

May we never forget. 🇺🇸

🏆 DID YOU KNOW?

You’ve seen the plaque...but what exactly is BOSS?

Best of the South Shore (BOSS), presented by South Shore Home, Life & Style, recognizes standout businesses and organizations across the South Shore, with winners chosen through community voting.

Earlier this summer, Cornerstone was honored to be named the 2026 BOSS Winner for Best Insurance Agency – Life. 💙

What made the recognition especially meaningful? It came from the community we have the privilege to serve.

Congratulations to all of this year’s BOSS winners and the incredible local businesses that make the South Shore such a great place to live, work and do business! 👏
