*NEW TIME*
Public Meeting to Discuss Former Universal Steel Property
Thursday, February 5 at 6:30 p.m. at 120 Washington Street
The City of Salem will hold a public meeting to provide an update on the former Universal Steel site at 297 Bridge Street and to discuss criteria for evaluating redevelopment proposals for the property. In 2013, the City, in partnership with MassDevelopment, MassDEP, and the U.S. EPA, completed the remediation of contaminated soils associated with the site’s past industrial use. The site then served as a temporary commuter parking lot during the construction of the new Salem MBTA Commuter Rail station and garage. With the garage recently completed, the City intends to seek proposals for the purchase and redevelopment of the site.
The meeting will be in the 3rd floor conference room at the City Hall Annex at 120 Washington Street on Thursday, February 5 at 6:30 p.m. All are welcome to attend and participate in the discussion. Please contact Tom Devine in the Department of Planning & Community Development at 978-619-5685 or tdevine@salem.com with any questions.

In anticipation of the National Grid Salem Cable Project in #SalemMA, the City’s contractor, N. Granese and Sons, will begin work tomorrow on Congress Street in the vicinity of Palmer Street. The work will consist of the installation of sewer manholes and pipes that will collect sewage from a select number of homes that would have their sewer service disrupted by the National Grid project.
This work should be completed by early March. The work hours for this project are 7:00 am to 3:30 pm.
During this project, the work area will be an active construction site and you should be careful and drive at a reduced speed accordingly. On the days when Granese is working, it is important not to have cars parked in the roadway. No parking signs will be posted in advance of construction and no-parking will remain in effect until construction is complete for that day.
Police details will be present to assist everyone through the work zone and to facilitate traffic management. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience you may incur during this process. The City appreciates your patience and forbearance during this project.
