The Town of Reading was awarded a $2,116,578 MVP Action Grant spanning FY23 and FY24 (ends June 30, 2024) to help construct the Maillet, Sommes & Morgan Stormwater Wetland System project components to prevent downstream community flooding. The site (in between Willow and Lowell Street) has begun full construction as of August 2023 with a project completion by July 2024. Most recently at the Finance Committee (Fincom), Town Manager Fidel Maltez mentioned the project will be in need of ~$400k in additional funding due to contaminated dirt in the area. Below is our drone video from the area as of mid-October.
