Boston Globe article about work in Plymouth

There is a wonderful page 1 story in the Boston Globe today about the work in Plymouth.  Dave Landon does a great job in the attached video explaining the work.  There are also a series of very nice photos that go with the story.  If you have trouble with the Globe site, you can see a printed version here.  The Author, David Filipov, has done a number of great stories.
