Town officials and Verizon representatives agreed Tuesday morning on a four-day per week work schedule for the Main Street Corridor Project, according to the Select Board’s project liaison.

In a text message to the Independent, Select Board member Brian Herr stated that he attended a meeting with town and Verizon representatives. This meeting resolved a stalemate over the days Verizon planned to commit each week to completing its part of the multiyear project. Verizon recently informed the town that it would be in town one or two days per week, which the town found unacceptable, according to a project update released on Aug. 1.

“They have committed to stepping up their presence in town and working four days a week on the west side of the project until it is complete,” stated Herr. “That is great news!”

Herr announced at last week’s Select Board meeting that he reached out to state Sen. Karen Spilka for assistance as to how the town should proceed. Spilka, the Senate president, represents Hopkinton.

Herr had served on the Select Board during the initial discussions about the town’s commitment to the state-funded project and is deeply familiar with its history.

Town Manager Elaine Lazarus confirmed via email that the meeting took place.

“I wasn’t at the meeting this morning, so I can’t confirm the attendees — but the meeting did occur,” she shared. “Dave Daltorio and Nicole Bratsos from the Engineering/Facilities Department were present along with Brian.”

Added Lazarus: “I do know that Verizon has been cooperative and has dedicated additional resources to the project.”

She and Herr noted Monday that Verizon stepped up its efforts last week. Verizon worked in town for four days, moving wires and pulling poles from the police station to Wood Street.
