The DPW announced today the Pulaski Boulevard reconstruction project continues to stay on course with the project bid being awarded to J.H. Lynch & Sons of Cumberland, R.I.
Last month, J.H. Lynch & Sons made an approximate $8.5 million bid on the project, well below the engineers’ estimate of $11 million.
According to the DPW, the construction plan from J.H. Lynch will likely come in at the end of February and the town will have the ability to make suggestions and modifications if needed.
The estimated two year project plans to rebuild 2.3 miles of Pulaski Boulevard, spanning from the Franklin town line to Orchard Street, including work at the Crooks Corner, Lake Street and Center Street intersections.
The Panthers won the Division 2 championship last year and moved up to Division 1 this year. The result was no different. Last night, Franklin claimed the Div. 1 championship with a 38-20 victory over Springfield Central at Marlborough High.
"It feels better than last year because (Division 1) is supposedly all the top teams," said senior Dan Telhada, who had a key pin at 145 pounds. "Now we're champs in both. It doesn't get any better."
"We have a great group of seniors that go out with a big bang winning Division 1 and Division 2 state titles in their careers," Franklin coach Carmine Colace said. "You couldn't ask for anything more."Read the full article in the Milford Daily News here

How did this occur?At first, the silence in the room was deafening. Then, gasps and questions came flying out. “Hey, Jason’s typing on MY screen.” Then, “Whoa. There’s a chat box. Are we ALLOWED to use that?!?!” After the first five minutes, the students figured out that they were supposed to work together to answer the question that I provided. I was amazed. I had not provided the students with a single verbal prompt or redirection, and they were using the tool to write a response together. Before I knew it, they had drafted a coherent answer to the question together. Their single response was much better than anything they had written individually all year.
