Recreation Director Ryan Jette had waited almost two years to officially recognize the Boston Bruins Foundation for their contribution of $75,000 towards the renovation of the court. COVID-19 prevented the more timely opening when construction on the rink was completed in July 2020. The Town spent $200,000 for the renovation as part of their capital budget.
I live nearby and was able to capture photos on my walks to show the progress during 2020.
