Petersen Pool Hearing Gets Moved

BRAINTREE, MA - The Petersen Pool public hearing will resume next month.

At the request of the applicant, the hearing in front of the Planning Board will be continued on June 14 at 8:15 p.m., according to Melissa Santucci, the town's principal planner. It was originally scheduled to go back in front of the board earlier this week.

To be located on the Braintree High School campus, the proposed 157,000-square-foot building includes two NHL-sized ice rinks, a 25-meter pool, and an indoor turf area.

Construction is expected to take 12-18 months, with a fall 2017 opening, although that may now be delayed.
