Town Forest Parking Lot to Close for Water-Line Work

Work beginning today, Sept. 16, will close Lot 5 in the Town Forest for about three days while crews connect a water line from Grove Street, install a spigot for future landscaping maintenance, and add a water fountain. Access along Grove Street will be limited while the work is underway. The project stems from a Conservation Commission budget request that came before the Select Board at its June 9, 2026 meeting.
