Founders Day Cancelled Say it ain’t so, Saugus! The 40th Annual Saugus Founders Day won’t be happening this year – on account of the Coronavirus. With all the events that have been cancelled so far this year because of the global pandemic, this one really hurts, as it is the signature event of town happenings during the course of a year – and it has been a great crowd pleaser for nearly four decades now. Founders Day was made for families and friends to hang out together. It is also the single largest fundraising event in town where a host of charitable organizations set up tables on both sides of Central Street for a block heading from Town Hall to the Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site. And, fi nally, if you are a politician trying to attract potential support from Saugus voters, this would be a great event to meet and greet ordinary people from all walks of life in the midst of a robust fall political campaign. So it goes that I received the disappointing – but much-anticipated – email this week from Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree’s office. “Youth & Recreation Department Announces Cancellation of Founder’s Day Celebration Due to COVID-19 UNITED 2035 | from page 3 www.eight10barandgrille.com We Have Reopened for Dine-In and Outside Seating every day beginning at 4 PM opers as well as permitting authorities. “This is something that is defi nitely needed for Saugus,” Crabtree said.

STAY SAFE! Peter Rossetti, Jr. agreed that a town-wide master plan marks a signifi cant step forward for the community. He contended it makes sense to analyze the impact on the town as a whole and the capacity for future development. While noting a town-wide master plan has been needed for quite some time, Rossetti said, “Sometimes [a master plan] can be put on a GUESS WHO GOT SKETCHED?

Decision Made to Prioritize Safety of Saugus Residents, Community.” Saugus Youth & Recreation Director Gregory Nickolas was the bearer of the bad news. “This diffi cult decision has been made in order to prioritize the safety of the residents of Saugus and the community, and to help slow the spread of the virus,” the press release notes. Under the state and Governor shelf, but I can assure you this one won’t be put on a shelf – it will be implemented.” Work is expected to begin this month in the midst of a two-year moratorium adopted by Town Meeting on the construction of multifamily dwellings of three or more units. The intent of the measure was to allow offi cials to analyze the impact on the town, which will be addressed through the Master Plan. The two-year temporary moratorium is intended to provide the Town with time to conduct an analysis and comprehensive study to determine the impact of construction on police, fi re and emergency public SOUNDS | SEE PAGE 14 safety, the school district, the water, sewer and roadway infrastructure and the safety of the general public. “We need smart development that will keep the town viable,” Crabtree told Town Meeting members last year as he advocated for the moratorium on multifamily housing. “This will allow the town as a whole to have a conversation” about future development, keeping in mind its impact on future costs for police, fi re, water and other municipal services, the town manager said.
