The $320,000 pipe replacement is complete. The heavily traveled Summer St. goes from Rte. 7 to Old State Rd.

We also just completed a $354,000 sidewalk project as well from Rte.7 to the elementary school. We ripped the old sidewalk out, put the new one in, plus the $320,000 culvert replacement due to the old one collapsing near the bottom of Summer St.

Maxymillian did both projects. The road, in sections, has been closed for the last month and a half and now will reopen first thing on Friday morning. -Durfee
