Lynnfield Orders Town-Wide Drain Structure Repairs

Town Hall posted a fresh notice this week announcing town-wide drain structure repairs, one of the few new items in an otherwise light stretch for local government, as the library filled out a busy week of teen, children's and foundation programming.

TOWN HALL Town Hall added a new item to its News Flash board announcing town-wide drain structure repairs, though the posting did not include details on scope, cost or timeline. The notice comes as two other public works items continue in the background: coordination with MassDOT and contractor McCourt on I-95 ramp work, and the town's open call for volunteers on the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee, both first reported earlier this month.
