Selectmen Approve Fales Fuel Park Proposal

MANSFIELD, MA — Selectmen in Mansfield have given their backing to a proposed park at the former Fales Fuel property on Old Colony Road, but they want to see how much it’s going to cost.

The board voted 3-0 Wednesday night to approve a concept proposed by a the Fales Oil Site Review Committee. Chairman George Dentino abstained from the vote and Selectman Frank Delvecchio was not present at the meeting.

As part of the motion, the committee must seek an estimate for construction and maintenance costs.

“I’m in favor of the concept but I’d like to know how it costs,” Selectman Jess Aptowitz said.

How the park will be funded has not been decided.
