Town manager briefs board on $330M National Grid transmission project and upcoming fire-station demolition
Summary
The town manager told the Select Board about a roughly $330 million National Grid project to refurbish overhead transmission lines affecting Chelmsford and neighboring towns, and an expected demolition of the South Fire Station beginning July 27 with follow-up work at the West Fire Station.
In his manager’s report, the town manager (Speaker 9) said National Grid circulated a public flyer describing a major project — roughly $330,000,000 — to refurbish overhead transmission lines across a multi-town area; the manager said open-house sessions are scheduled, including sessions in Chelmsford and Billerica in late July and early August.
The town manager also reported that demolition at the South Fire Station is scheduled to begin Monday, July 27 and is expected to take about a week, after which crews will move to the West Fire Station site. "The demolition is expected to begin next Monday, July 27," the manager said, and noted additional time will be needed for site cleanup and grading. Board members asked the manager to confirm whether the town would receive direct outage notices related to the National Grid work, and staff said they would follow up with the company to clarify whether outages are expected and to confirm notification plans.
