Overview

The Board of Public Works was established in 1973 as a result of an act of the State Legislature. The Board of Public Works is elected by North Attleborough residents and consists of five members, each serving rotating three-year terms. The Board is responsible for the setting policies for public works infrastructure such as planning, building and maintaining roads, bridges, water distribution and sewer collection systems, water treatment and wastewater treatment plants, sidewalks, drainage facilities, vehicles and equipment.

The field of Public Works has suffered a great loss in the passing of one of its pioneers and leaders, Bob Norton. Bob died Saturday, June 19, 2010, and was currently serving as the Chairman of the Board of Public Works. Bob was instrumental in adopting a number of progressive policies and programs during his role as a Board Member.

Bob has been a dedicated member of the Board of Public Works since 1999. Bob also was employed as a senior resident field representative for Weston and Sampson in Peabody for the past 15 years.

Bob was a man with high ideals and an eye for the future. Bob will be terribly missed and his work will leave a lasting impact on the Town of North Attleborough for years to come.
