Rear Main Street Project Gets a Well-Deserved Paving
Gardner’s Rear Main Street Project has made progress once again with its first coat of pavement. Mayor Michael Nicholson posted: “…This project, funded by a $4.1 million grant from the state MassWorks program, is creating a new 100 space parking lot, event plaza, food truck court, seating areas, and water feature. It also includes the resurfacing of Sullivan’s Alley to connect Main Street to this new area and moves all of the utility/telephone poles underground.”
Very excited to see this project completed by the end of the Summer! “
