Vehicles need to be parked off the street to allow public works plow crews room to work. Alternate parking is available overnight at the municipal lot on the east side of Water St, the south end boat launch parking lot on Washington St, the baseball field parking lot off Sheridan Rd, and the tennis courts parking lot at McMann Field complex off Congress Ave.
On November 8, 2022, voters approved a $13.05 million bond referendum for the design, construction, and equipping of a new fire station. The project will replace the current fire station at 864 High Street and will be located at the north end of the former Morse High School property on High Street.The current fire station, which opened in 1958, was prioritized for replacement due to the level of deficiencies, the needs of the department, and the location of the site.
