Town Center Digital Sign - Completed November 2024

In May of 2024, Town Meeting authorized $100,000 for the purchase and installation of a new digital sign on the corner of the First Parish Meeting House. The sign was intended to replace the orange highway message board sign that had sat on the corner since early 2020. The goal was install a visually appealing & location appropriate digital sign that would allow the Town to continue to enhance its communication with residents. The sign was ordered from Golden Rule Signs and was delivered and installed in late November. The sign is now operational and has been used to communicate important alerts, reminders, events, and other town-sponsored messaging. The sign was installed in accordance with the Town's Zoning Bylaw which allows for these types of signs for educational and municipal uses only.

Town Center Pedestiran Bridge & Viewing Deck - Completed November 2024

Thanks to funding from the Community Preservation Committee and several state grants, the Town embarked in Summer 2024 on a capstone poject in the Town Center to enhance walkability and increase the amount of useable space for community gatherings. Part of the project saw an expansion of the accessible walkways throughout the Town Center beginning at our new Veterans' Memorial and ending on Kendall Road. Additionally, the project saw the installation of a timber viewing deck over the Flint Pond Dam and the installation of a pedestrian bridge connecting Winslow Road to Middlesex Road,. The concept of the project came from the early 2000s Town Center Master Plan. Since its completion in November, several large events have taken advantage of the new space including the 2024 Festival of Trees and the 2024 Wreaths Across America Program. Aside from formal events, the project also increased the walkability of our Town Center and put the finishing touches on years of work and CPC funding to enhance our vibrant Town Center.

Winslow School Hazardous Material Abatement- Completed August 2024

Funded by two separate capital appropriations from Town Meetings going back to 2018, this project saw the full abatement of hazardous materials, specifically asbestos and suspected asbestos, from the Winslow School. Work under this contract was required to be completed whether the building was renovated or demolished. In March of 2024, the Town awarded a contract to Green Environmental for this work and the work commenced shortly thereafter. This work is the reason that the exterior of the Winslow School is currently covered in a yellow Tyvek wrap. Asbestos containing materials (ACMs) were found in the clapboards of the building and needed to be abated. To preserve the interior of the building through this phase, the contractor was required to install this Tyvek wrapping. As of Augustg 2024, all of the hazardous material was removed from site, the building was made weather tight, and nearly a dozen of the original windows were removed from the site, abated, restored, and returned to the building.
