Photo by Rachel Jenkins
The Grant Street project is slated for completion by the end of the first week in October.
It has involved curbs, gutters, and sidewalks on Grant Street from Mill Street to Maple
Street, including moving- gas and water lines. That part of Grant Street had never had
sidewalks. The construction costs were estimated at $ 645,000.00 with 80% coming from
the federal government and the remainder from the town budget.
