Sharon Marketplace Lot Closes for Repaving Starting Sunday

SHARON — Crews will mill and repave the Sharon Marketplace parking lot at 700 South Main St. starting Sunday, weather permitting, as the town also opened registration for two summer public-safety programs and the library confirmed a temporary parking crunch of its own.
