Town Meeting approved Article 51, authorizing the Select Board to grant and convey permanent utility easements to Massachusetts Electric Company (National Grid) on the town-owned property at 65 West Main Street — the site of the new fire station.

The Select Board explained the easement would allow National Grid to install and maintain electrical infrastructure for the new fire station. The board recommended approval and said the easement language and location were described on a plan filed with the town clerk.

Nut graf: The article is a routine municipal authorization required so the utility can provide service to the new public safety facility. Town Meeting approved the warrant article by the required two‑thirds vote.

Implementation: The Select Board will negotiate and execute the standard easement documents with National Grid and record them at the Worcester South Registry of Deeds as needed so utility work can proceed with the project schedule.
