ROCHESTER — The Rochester Select Board recognized facilities department employee Joey Bacchiocchi for his service to the town at a meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 6.

“He helped out the facilities manager with improving the buildings around town,” said Rochester Town Administrator Glenn Cannon. “His field of expertise was carpentry.”

According to Canon, Bacchiocchi helped repair some of the flooring at Town Hall, replaced tile at the Plumb Library and worked to replace the ceiling at the Rochester Council on Aging.

“A whole bunch of smaller projects,” said Cannon. “But a real cost savings for the town … instead of hiring contractors.”
