GROVELAND – The Town of Groveland is pleased to share that it will receive a state grant to install a new traffic signal to increase pedestrian and commuter safety and improve traffic flow.

The MassWorks Infrastructure Program has awarded the town $435,000 to install the signal at the intersection of Salem Street, School Street, and Groveland Village driveway. MassWorks is a competitive grant program that provides the largest and most flexible source of capital funds to municipalities and other eligible public entities primarily for public infrastructure projects.

The improved signaling will include pedestrian countdown signals, and vibratory/audible push buttons to increase pedestrian safety.

Signaling will be timed to improve traffic flow at peak travel times. Overhead signals will help drivers turn more safely.

“These roads are vital to the town and connect our residents to Georgetown and Haverhill, but safety has become an increasing concern,” said Rebecca Oldham, Director of the Economic Development, Planning and Conservation Department. “This MassWorks grant will help the Town address the issue, and make the intersection safer for all. Thank you to the Baker-Polito Administration for once again supporting the needs of small communities.”

Groveland’s was one of 56 public infrastructure projects awarded funding through the MassWorks program. For more information about the awards, visit here. 

In response to Governor Baker’s ban on vaping products, local health departments are required to handle the enforcement of the ban. The ban applies to flavors, menthol, mint and wintergreen, and other flavored products including the liquid used in e-cigarettes and other vaping devices until further investigation of their effects concerning public health are known. Groveland retailers will be inspected to ensure vaping products are removed. This rule may be enforced by the state and local officials and failure to comply may result in fines, seizure of vape products or other penalties.

For questions regard the Vaping Ban, please call the Board of Health at 978-556-7210.
