LAKEVILLE — Selectmen met virtually with their state legislators last week to get an update on the steady flow of federal pandemic relief and economic stimulus grant money being funneled to Massachusetts cities and towns.
In the first meeting after the annual town election, newly-elected Lorraine Carboni was welcomed to the board. During its annual reorganization session, the board named Lia Fabian as the new chair; member Richard LaCamera moved to vice chair for the next year.
The town received a$1.66 million allocation for pandemic related expenses under the CARES Act, the first federal relief bill passed last year. Much of that reimbursement money went to the school department, with the fire department adding two temporary firefighter/EMTs to help with the pandemic surge.
