The Town will continue to keep residents and downtown businesses informed when a specific date has been identified. The Town will have five electronic boards and plenty of signage when the actual date takes effect.
The construction crews plan to begin paving late this week (at night after 8:00 PM) and anticipate two days next week, the week of June 13th.
Tomorrow (Wednesday) and early Thursday of this week should have the brick sidewalks completed on the Century 21 side of the downtown sidewalks.

"A Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical High School program has begun a "Public Safety Days" initiative, aimed at helping students make good decisions.
The event, which kicked off Tuesday, is held by the school's Legal and Protective Services program. It invites students from Tri-County's other programs to take part in a series of activities relating to safety.
"We're kind of new - my oldest kids are juniors," said Heidi Bastien, an instructor in the program. "We held the first Public Safety Days last year in the gym. We did a public service announcement and had some activities."
"The Hockomock YMCA will hold the Franklin 5K walk/run family event from 10 a.m. to noon June 26 at 628 Washington St.
Now in its 12th year, this community event supports programs for children with disabilities at the YMCA. The event is free.
The race, formerly called Run for Bob, was started by Kris and Kayla Biagiotti in memory of Kayla’s dad Bob Biagiotti and his belief that no child should be left on the sidelines. Kris continues her advocacy through this event. Inspired by Team Hoyt, Kris and Kayla (The K Girls) became the first mother/daughter team to finish the Boston Marathon in 2013."
"Reports from the state Executive Office of Elder Affairs indicate a Franklin assisted living facility violated several state regulations and failed to submit timely reports of stolen painkillers and resident injuries.
According to the results of a Freedom of Information Act request, there are several documented instances of the facility, The Estate at Franklin, not complying with state regulations as well as lost and injured patients.
The facility had its assisted living certification suspended by the state Executive office of Elder Affairs (EOEA) on Feb. 5 due to several incidents at the facility dating back to November of 2015."
Franklin 5K - June 26 |
Last season, the Franklin boys’ lacrosse team reached its first ever sectional semifinal after upsetting perennial power Xaverian at Pisini Field. On Sunday, a much younger Franklin team faced the same opponent at the same stage of the tournament, but in a different venue and with a much different final result.
The Panthers started well, but once the Hawks clicked on offense Franklin had little answer for a team that has found its footing (and its health) in recent weeks and is once again among the contenders for a Div. 1 title.
Xaverian pulled away in the second half and knocked out the Panthers 18-11, despite five goals and three assists from senior attacker Austin Kent, who was recently selected as the Hockomock League MVP.
“They were flat out better than us,” said Franklin coach Lou Verrochi. “[Sophomore goalie] Connor [O’Rourke] saw a lot of rubber today and…they’re just really good. They’re unselfish, they find the one more, they did all the things we’ve been preaching all year long.”
Austin Kent scored five goals and had three assists in the quarterfinal loss to Xaverian. (Josh Perry/HockomockSports.com) |
