MILLBURY As Phase I of the Armory Village Revitalization project comes to a close, improving a portion of the downtown, town meeting voters in May will be asked to pay about $550,000 to fund Phase II to complete the project.
Appearing before the Board of Selectmen on March 23, Millbury Planning and Development Director Laurie Connors, the project manager for the revitalization project, provided a status update on Phase I of the project and the proposal for Phase II.
The two-phase project has a goal of “reviving’’ Millbury’s downtown given a list of negative existing conditions, including “uninviting spaces such as crumbling and uneven sidewalks, overgrown invasive vegetation, insufficient lighting, inadequate, non-ADA compliant crosswalks, and walkways with obstructions that are too steep, uneven, cracked and crumbling.
