Some wet weather of late, slowing things down a bit. A few shade trees were planted, and landscaping went in at the parking lot and at the performance platform on River. Looks wonderful. Eversource set a new utility pole at the corner of North & Bridge, now we await the crew to return to move the wires over and remove the old pole so we can wrap up the intersection. A couple of sidewalk panels and a few more sections of granite curb will be installed next week. Speaking of granite, this will be known as the year no one could get any. We struggled to get curb deliveries, and recently we were unable to source granite blocks to complete a tree well in front of the Valley House. Windsor DPW came to our rescue by supplying 40 granite landscaping blocks from a stockpile they had in their yard. Many thanks to Director Bob Jarvis at Windsor DPW. Henry & Casey from Canton Parks Dept. did a beautiful job installing the blocks and mulching the tree-well, photos attached. Nice work guys!

Of note, our esteemed Martin Laviero Project Manager Jerry Dionne, has finally retired after decades of both operating his own company and working for Laviero. Jerry did a stellar job getting this project going and bringing it almost to completion. We wish him the all the best in his retirement. Thank you Jerry! His duties have been taken over by Mark from Martin Laviero, Mark has been on the project since day one as Foreman and  is a very talented equipment operator as well.

The line-painting contractor will be in town to layout the striping work, we will notify everyone when the over-night painting is scheduled as there will be an overnight parking ban in place.
