Dracut

Although not part of Barry’s Rep. district, he has aided the town of Dracut many ways. For example, the contract between the NESWC (North East Solid Waste Committee) communities and Wheelabrator, the operating company, forced communities, like Dracut, to pay significantly more for trash disposal than the rest of the State. Barry was able to get funding for his district to offset these costs and save taxpayers from a considerable burden.

In the legislature, Barry fought to ensure that Community Preservation Act money is not diverted to a general fund and stays with the CPA, giving the town more control over that money.

Barry Finegold hopes to grow the economic base in Dracut through bringing new and cutting edge technologies to the area that will create jobs and a revived tax base for the town of Dracut.
