BOURNE – The shuttered Bourne Visitor Information Booth is on its way to its new home after a grassroots initiative prevented it from being demolished.
The old building was to be demolished by Cumberland Farms, which owns the property and had plans to build a gas station and convenience store on the site.
The initiative spearheaded by Bourne resident Jack MacDonald led to the town’s Historical Commission granting a demolition delay, during which time he says the Bourne VFW has “adopted” the booth.
It’s being moved from its Bourne rotary location to 180 Shore Road today.
