Norfolk County Finalizes Page Street Discontinuance, Paving Way for Development and Reimbursement

In a decision, the Norfolk County Commissioners voted to finalize the discontinuance of a portion of Page Street in Stoughton, allowing for development and securing a nearly $2,800 reimbursement from the developer. This closure, following a year and a half of procedural steps and meetings, marks a critical step in regional infrastructure planning.

06:52During the meeting, the County Engineering Department presented the completed requirements for the discontinuance, which had been contingent on specific conditions set by the county. The town, developer, and abutters had met all necessary conditions, allowing the board to move forward with the vote. County representatives expressed gratitude for the cooperation involved in this lengthy process, noting that the discontinuance will now be filed with the town clerk and recorded officially.

13:34In other matters, the board approved personnel changes, including the rehire of several seasonal golf associates at the Walston Recreational Facility and a new maintenance department night custodian. Additionally, the board sanctioned the use of the civic rate for a fundraising event at President’s Golf Course, benefiting the Regina Clary Academy of Boston, a home-school operation.

18:51The County Director also briefed the commissioners on upcoming meetings, including a visit from Plymouth County Commissioner Greg Hanley to discuss climate initiatives. The introduction of a new fiscal specialist, a former intern, was also highlighted, emphasizing the county’s focus on strengthening its procurement unit.
