CHICOPEE – The city is starting a three-year project that will change the look of Szot Park, eliminate a potential safety hazard to the community’s electrical system and improve water quality for the Chicopee River and Abbey Brook.
State and local officials recently unveiled a plan that will remove two dams that create the two ponds in Szot Park and replace the seriously-undersized culvert that runs under Front Street and leads to the Chicopee Electric Light property.
“It is returning the waterway back to its natural state,” said Ronald S. Amidon, commissioner for the state Department of Fish and Game.
