Select Board grants National Grid petition to install new utility pole on Chapin Road
Summary
After a public hearing, the Select Board approved National Grid's petition to install a new mid‑span utility pole on Chapin Road; representatives from National Grid described it as a continuation of previous work and noted prior easement issues at the site.
The Select Board approved Sept. 8 a National Grid petition to install a new mid‑span utility pole on Chapin Road. Representatives from National Grid attended the public hearing, described the request as a continuation of prior work and said the pole had previously been proposed on the opposite side of the road before being relocated. National Grid representatives said the new pole is a single mid‑span pole to support a long line span and that the town's highway official had no objections. The pole is new construction; no existing pole was present at the location. Following questions from board members and a brief exchange with nearby residents who attended the hearing, the board moved and approved the petition. Board action: the petition to install a new pole (identified in National Grid materials as pole number 58-25 in hearing materials) was approved during the meeting; the transcript records the public-hearing exchange and the board's affirmative vote.
