Happy New Year Friends – 2024 has come in with a bang!
Here are upcoming meetings on two issues of concern to you as a member of the Manchaug Pond Foundation:
~ Central Turnpike Corridor Study ~ Presentation by Central Mass Regional Planning Commission:
1. Tonight, Tuesday, January 2nd at 6 pm, the SUTTON SELECT BOARD will receive a presentation on the Central Turnpike Corridor Study by the Central Mass Regional Planning Commission looking at traffic volume, accidents, culverts and road sections needing repair, etc which includes the Manchaug Pond Watershed. This gives a baseline situation before we realize the traffic from the inprocess/planned residential housing developments at 61 Duval Rd Sutton/Douglas and the Whitins Rd/Darling Lane Development in the Manchaug Village and indicates areas needing improvement.
Attend in person or Zoom or watch on live stream or Town of Sutton Cable You Tube.
