Council approves three Eversource utility grants

City Council · Meeting of October 20, 2026

WOBURN — The Woburn City Council honored the Daily Times Chronicle's 125th anniversary and approved three Eversource Energy utility grants of location Tuesday while continuing three special permit hearings to November 17. Publisher Peter M. Haggerty accepted the recognition, saying he'd "had the pleasure of working the last 40 years as publisher." The council unanimously approved conduit and manhole work on Main Street, Campbell Street and New Boston Street/Commerce Way West, each subject to conditions from Acting DPW Superintendent Anthony Paziale. Hearings on special permits for CB Silva, LLC at 43-45 Church Street, Bradley and Megan Schar at 14 Ash Street, and Rumors Pallet World LLC at 30 Taurus Drive were all continued to November 17.

Abutter Eric Waymeyer of 12 Ash Street told the council he worried construction plans "could impact us since we share a driveway." Nuisance cases at 1 Winstead Avenue and 33 Green Street were continued to December 1.
