(Town Admin. Asst. Cass Nawrocki Reporting) ABOUT 30 PEOPLE ATTENDED the celebration of the repair and reopening of Middle Road. Weather was perfect, sunny and breezy, with some dark clouds holding off until the visiting, viewing of ‘before’ pictures, and refreshments at the Town Office were done.
After the slow drive along Hunt and Middle Roads — by a caravan of almost a dozen rugged, dusty vehicles — most participants spoke of being impressed with how large a job it was to bring Middle Road into it’s current condition. Clearly this was a long and expensive project for which we are grateful!
