Commerce Park Scheduling

The DPW is currently working on infrastructure improvements on Commerce Way and would like to tie the infrastructure improvements for the connector road which will go through Cranberry Crescent (formerly Commerce Park) from Route 80 to Samoset Street into the ongoing project.
