REMINDER: Happening Tomorrow (January 16th, 2020) from 7pm – 9pm at @NA_SeniorCtr ~ Public Informational Meeting – Gas Emergency Impact Area Restoration

Sarah Brush
Public Informational Meeting – Gas Emergency Impact Area Restoration – Public Works will be holding the first informational meeting on the restoration efforts.  The meeting is scheduled for January 16, 2020, 7pm – 9pm at the Senior Center on Main Street.  While road restoration has been delayed as the gas company resolved the most recent compliance issues, we have been working on the overall plan and will be seeking public input on the restoration at this meeting.  It should be noted that we will have additional public/site meetings as the restoration projects move forward.  The first construction contract has been bid and the contract has been awarded.  The first contract of work will be starting as soon as weather permits in the Spring 2020.

Reminder – January 22, 2020, Downtown Revitalization Public Meeting

Town of North Andover, MA
Reminder –  January  22, 2020, Downtown Revitalization Public Meeting

The recently adopted Master Plan proposed several strategies and goals related to improving the downtown infrastructure, aesthetics, connectivity, wayfinding, parking and visitation rates.  To address these strategies/goals, the Town has begun efforts to develop a Downtown Improvement Master Plan.  This plan aims to address improvements to vehicular and pedestrian circulation and safety as well as connectivity and aesthetics of the downtown. 

On January 22, 2020 a Public Meeting will be held to discuss revitalizing the downtown.  It is important that residents take part in the planning process because a Downtown Improvement Master Plan reflects the community’s vision for the future.  That vision starts and ends with resident input. 

I hope you will join us to participate in the first Public Meeting to discuss your thoughts and visions for an improved downtown area.  The meeting will take place on Wednesday, January 22, 2020 at 6:30pm in the High School Cafeteria located at 430 Osgood Street.
