Shrewsbury streets were noticably clearer that Grafton - noticable at the town line.
Why couldn't Grafton have school? After yesterday's melt, the roads were in decent shape. View Comment
I agree - it should have at least been looked at by county. By early afternoon, roads around here were fine. Zero snow on the mass Pike when I was on it at 3pm yesterday. View Comment
Didn't agree with Peter on everything, but he was the one selectman who didn't rubber stamp everything with a "Yes" vote. Peter will be missed. View Comment
Maybe it would be a good time to recoup the $1.2 mill tied up in the Creeper Hill land purchase (sub-divide and sell at profit?) and the Perrault land purchase (for a library that will never be built?). View Comment
Miguelito, I too live in North Grafton, close enough that if even one of these 80k gallon tanks blew up, my house would be among the missing. So I share your concerns. I was just CURIOUS where the signs came from.
See you at the meeting. View Comment

"No fuel will be stored until the Federal Railroad Board and the U.S. Fire Administration, plus state and local fire officials, have reviewed the final construction, Delli Priscoli said. That will be in the spring, he said."
I am not really sure what the point of the cease and desist is. Nothing is scheduled to really take place at this site until the spring. How about some investigative journalism about what specific safety issues surround theses tanks, what monitoring processes exist, etc. There is a business one town over with decades of experience storing and transporting LP gas.
