The Northborough Fire Station Building Committee made significant strides in its latest meeting, focusing on the design and placement of a new construction sign, as well as planning for the groundbreaking ceremony. The committee discussed various design options for the sign, emphasizing the importance of visibility and contrast to ensure it effectively communicates the project details to the community. Members expressed preferences for specific designs, highlighting the need for a high-contrast layout that would be easily readable from the road.

The committee also set a tentative date for the groundbreaking ceremony during the week of May 19, with a preference for Wednesday at 3 PM. This timing is intended to coincide with the arrival of construction equipment on site, allowing for a more impactful event. The committee is keen to involve local groups, including the fire department, to foster community engagement during the ceremony.

In addition to these discussions, the committee addressed rumors regarding unrelated construction projects in the area, clarifying that there are no plans to modify the retaining wall behind the grill building. They reassured attendees that the focus remains solely on the fire station project.

As the committee moves forward, they are also preparing for potential inquiries from labor unions and other stakeholders, ensuring transparency throughout the construction process. With the groundwork laid for both the sign and the ceremony, the committee is poised to keep the community informed and involved as the fire station project progresses.
