COVID-19 Statement #9
Since our last statement, Groveland has one (1) new positive case of COVID-19 bringing the total in Groveland to eleven (11) cases. Of those eleven (11) cases, three (3) are currently active.
For everyone’s safety, we would like folks who are out walking on streets without sidewalks, to walk facing the traffic. Pedestrians should be walking in the same direction on side roads.
We would like to remind voters that the Annual Town Meeting is scheduled for Monday, June 8th and the Annual Town Election is Monday, June 15th. For this election, the Town would like to strongly encourage residents to submit an application to vote by mail. The State passed special legislation that allows both Absentee Voting and Early Voting BY MAIL for this Local Election. More information and the application for Voting By Mail can be found here.
We would like to thank Stephen Olson from Houghton Chemical Corporation in Allston, who donated a five (5) gallon container of hand sanitizer to the Police Station.
We would like to thank Groveland residents Lisa O’Connor and Tanya and Rick Norris for donating masks to the Council on Aging. We would also like to thank all residents, who have made donations to town departments. Even the smallest gestures have made a huge impact on the employees, so we thank all of you.
This week I would like to give a shout out to all the High School and College Seniors. Senior Year should be so memorable and magical with events and milestones culminating with graduation. Unfortunately, this year will be remembered for other reasons and those celebratory moments have been postponed or cancelled. To the Class of 2020, we celebrate and honor you and all your achievements.
Groveland residents have been doing a phenomenal job staying home and safe. While we wait to see what the Governor does after May 4th, we ask residents to be patient and continue to observe the social and physical distancing. We thank everyone for their ongoing efforts.
Stay safe and well. Thank you.
