The settlement agreement for the superfund site at Bliss Corner has ended, and the Federal Government has given permission for the town to issue payment.
The Finance Committee previously approved a reserve fund transfer of $50,000, of the total $28 million clean up cost.
Work to clean up the contaminants will continue on the land, but the town is no longer considered liable.
This was a group effort with the Department of Public Works, Environmental Protections Agency, the town and the Department of Public Health.
“I genuinely think that’s why we ended where we are … because our team was so good to work with,” said Town Coordinator Cody Haddad.
