From the City of Gardner: “Due to maintenance issues with the boiler at City Hall, City Hall will be closed on Wednesday, January 28th, 2026. All other City buildings will be open as normal.”
Gardner Mayor Nicholson also posted: “The DPW will be sending out 5 sidewalk tractors this evening to work to clear the sidewalks within a mile and a half around the schools in the City. Once these sidewalks are done, plans will be made for the other sidewalks around the city and the snow around the downtown and South Gardner Center at a later date.” Relating to the storm in the City, the Mayor stated, “Thank you to all of our DPW Workers, public safety personnel, National Grid crews, and everyone who worked to keep everyone safe during the storm. Our DPW crews were called in at 9am on Sunday and finally got to go home at 3am this morning- 42 hours later, with some staying until noon to check on all of the equipment. Gardner is blessed to have such a dedicated crew with such a strong work ethic and commitment to the City and its residents.”
