NORTH ATTLEBORO - The number of migrants sent from the state and housed in town has risen more than 33 percent over the past two weeks.
The total is now 82, up from 60 the last time we talked about the issue with Town Manager Michael Borg. Of that total, 39 are adults and 43 are children, 16 of school age.
The families are residing in 29 hotel rooms.
North TV spoke to Borg about the issue when we visited his office on Tuesday. The interview took place one day after Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey disclosed the state is near its capacity.

We will check in with Plainville Town Administrator Brian Noble next week at this time.
