"The Department of Public Works began water pipe replacement work at the end of Prospect Street this week, causing a detour route that’s expected to last about three weeks. 
Construction will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to help the traffic flow as much as possible during busier hours. The detour route takes drivers from Washington Street, then to Lake Street in Bellingham."

"The Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical High School and the Plainville Public Library have announced a partnership that will give students the opportunity to create a new, interactive play structure area in the Children’s Library. 
The project will be educationally focused on curriculum for children from birth to age six. 
This project consists of federal funds provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and administered by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners. The MBLC developed this direct grant program using federal funding to help libraries meet local community needs including financial and health literacy programs, STEM and STEAM projects, programs that help New Americans learn English and become citizens, programs that serve teen needs and projects that preserve valuable historical documents."
