Should the legislature approve, the Chair City of Gardner is slated to receive more money this coming year from the state for paving and for the schools. Mayor Nicholson stated “The governor released her budget last week, and it’s actually really good for us in Gardner. The Chapter 90 bill that was proposed has Gardner getting a 58 percent increase in what we’d be receiving for road paving for the year. This is the first time we’ve seen an increase in Chapter 90 funding since 2012. So if that gets passed by the legislature, that’ll be really positive for us here in Gardner. And then the Chapter 70 funding also came in a million dollars over what we were planning to expect. So that’s the funding that goes to our schools.”
The Mayor also spoke about other public and private projects in the City of Gardner.
