Economic Development Commisson Thanks Longtime Member

Grafton's Economic Development Commission applauded longtime member Gail McGrail for her years of service Thursday night.

Chairman Elias Hanna said McGrail gave her time and energy to the board.

McGrail said she served 10 to 12 years on the commission.

She said she stepped down to work for the Massachusetts Teachers Association.

"I'm doing political action involved with education, which has always been my passion," McGrail said.

"In fact, the reason I got on this board was because the finance committee was getting kind of low in funding of the schools."
