Senior Center - parking expansion underway

You may recall that the Senior Center parking is going to be expanded before the 2nd floor of the center itself is finished. Yes, there is a second floor to the Senior Center. The elevator to it and the finishing work were left incomplete when the Senior Center opened in 2007.

How will the parking be expanded?
The property on Beaver St became available and Franklin purchased it, torn it down and is now getting ready to fill in to add another 30 or so parking spaces.

And now the ground work is underway, removing trees, getting ready to add about 30 or so parking spaces.

One of the Capital budget items on the agenda for Wednesday's Town Council meeting is to add to the fund for the expansion of the 2nd floor of the Senior Center.
