Gardner Redevelopment Authority · Meeting of May 28, 2026
Gardner Redevelopment Authority referred the Route 2 Welcome to Gardner Sign to the Mayor and Chamber of Commerce, shifting maintenance responsibility. The damaged sign sits in Massachusetts DOT right-of-way rather than Authority land. Board member Jon Zlotnik noted a furniture builder consortium originally purchased it; the Authority assumed maintenance at an unknown time.
Fuss & O'Neil Engineering on Rear Main Project North halted all work after announcing plans May 22, nine days after submitting a change order it expected would be executed immediately. City Planning Executive Director Jason Stevens expressed disappointment the firm did not notify him of the stoppage, citing it as support for his decision to discontinue the firm's work on Rear Main Project South.
