'Sleepy' Groton officials should seek federal road funds

August 02, 2021 12:00 am • Last Updated: August 02, 2021 5:02 pm

State Sen. Heather Somers, Town Manager John Burt, and the sleepy Groton Town Council meed to obtain infrastructure funding. Apparently, Joe Biden's infrastructure plan calls for allocating $115 billion to modernize 20,000 miles of highways, roads, and main streets, and $20 billion to improve road safety for all users. Is there any chance our local politicians and town manager seek opportunities to repave our horrible roads and improve road safety?

I wonder if Somers has considered looking into this. We know the answer.

Heather, John, and Groton Town Council – there is a need and now an opportunity to seek funding to improve our roads. Gravel, Pearl, Bindless and River Road all need road and safety improvements. Please stop overlooking the issue.
