Board issues certificate of completion for Wood Street reconstruction

The planning board issued a certificate of completion July 9 for the Wood Street extension reconstruction from Preston Street, finding the work was constructed in substantial compliance with the approved plans and granted waivers. A staff memo from the Department of Community Utilities accompanied the as‑built plan. Planning staff said the extension was approved in 2023 and was classified as roadway reconstruction rather than a new subdivision; the as‑built submission and site visit supported issuance of the completion certificate. Michael Farias moved approval; Beth Andrei seconded and the board approved the certificate by unanimous roll call. The certificate applies to roadway reconstruction only; the board noted no surety actions were required for this item and that it will not be released as a subdivision surety matter.
