The Granby Senior Center has a new commercial grade kitchen, funded by a Small-Town Economic Assistance Program (STEAP) Grant. The improved kitchen will enhance future meals that will provide a gathering opportunity for elderly community members to enjoy a meal prepared on-site. Volunteers who staff the regularly scheduled meals at the Senior Center were trained on food safety procedures prior to the resumption of the breakfast groups.
Construction has begun on the paved walking path at Salmon Brook Park. Work is expected to be completed in December. We look forward to seeing citizens enjoying the completed path.
