It was an impressive operation at the Remington Street Bridge project the first week of September. With the new east and west abutments ready to receive their load, and grading preparations on each shore complete, it was time for a giant crane to be set up and for the six beams to be delivered and lifted into place.
It’s not the big parade we had been looking forward to, but we can still have fun while maintaining a social distance!
A substantial part of renovating of our almost sixty-year-old Town Hall was the selected demolition and hazardous material abatement that occupied most of August.
The 350th cookbook, which with fingers crossed, will be available in September, will feature Suffield farms and farm stands and contains about 300 recipes provided by your Suffield neighbors.
Lower levels of concrete in both abutments have been poured, and forms and rebar for the upper levels were being prepared at press time.
350 flags on the town green and Veterans Park will wave in honor of our heroes from October 10 through November 11. Sponsor a keepsake flag with a ribbon naming an individual or a group.
