Town Administrator Mitch Ruscitti told the Select Board at its Feb. 12 meeting that updates at the Hopedale Pond Bath House are finished. 

“The Bath House project, for all intents and purposes, is complete. Again, it was a team effort,” said Ruscitti. “Really, we all pulled together to get this done as quickly as we [could].” 

He said there was a fire system installed, 911-compliant signage has been installed, an ADA compliant ramp has been installed at the entrance and egress. 

He said that the Forest Friends program is now “reopened and reengaged.”

Select Board member Scott Savage thanked everyone for collaborating on the project. 

“I just want to say thank you to all the members of the town who came together, that was pretty remarkable turnaround and collaboration to get that done…I appreciate it.
