Local briefs: off-leash, craft show

Plans for an off-leash dog park at 51 Power St. that had been sidelined during the strike may be moving forward quickly. Pam McConnell’s office reports that event though the mandatory June public meeting had to be cancelled, an informal meeting of residents was very positive. Parks will reschedule another public meeting when the strike is over.
