Thank you to everyone who showed up for our Citizen's Academy Finale last night. We hope you all found it informative and entertaining. A BIG thank you to Stow Fire Department for your help with running this scenario!

Please note: This was all simulated and no one was actually injured in any of these photos.

Gleasondale Road (and surrounding areas) has been reopened. Thank you to Hudson Light and Power and Stow Highway Department for all your hard work!

Update: Traffic is being detoured to utilize Sudbury Road. We anticipate these repairs will take the majority of the day.

During last night’s storm, it was tree vs power lines. HLP and our highway department are hard at work replacing the poles and repairing the roadways. Unfortunately, this means that Cross Street, Boon Road at Gleasondale Road, and Gleasondale at Whitman will be closed while the repairs are being done.

We are excited to partner with Stow Fire Department for this!

On Wednesday 7/17 between 6 and 9pm there will be a low helicopter in the area of the Fire Station. This helicopter is part of a training. If using the Marble Hill Conservation area during this time please use caution while crossing the field.

Thank you to Brian Taranto from Stow Highway Department for your help and professionalism. You truly went above and beyond, and your efforts are appreciated!
