A significant portion of the meeting focused on the Waterford Community Center, specifically regarding a solar panel installation and roof replacement project aimed at eliminating the building’s electric bill. Gardner Mayor Michael Nicholson provided status reports on ADA-compliant bathroom upgrades, HVAC repairs, and the relocation of Gardner Educational Television to the facility. Additionally, the committee addressed the seasonal farmers market, the expansion of parking facilities, and the development of a 90-day transition plan for the local Senior Center. Local leaders also expressed surprise regarding a $50,000 state budget earmark for the senior center that was allegedly requested without the Mayor’s prior knowledge. The session concluded with updates on infrastructure improvements in South Gardner and maintenance plans for the Greenwood Pool Pavilion.
