GARDNER — City officials and business owners are welcoming the news that the state’s pandemic lockdown restrictions will soon be lifted entirely.
On May 17, Gov. Charlie Baker announced that all remaining COVID-19 restrictions and capacity limits will be lifted on May 29. The move means that fully vaccinated people would no longer be required to wear a mask in most places, and capacity limits would return to 100 percent for all businesses.
The state of emergency in Massachusetts will end on June 15.
Mayor Michael Nicholson said he was relieved to hear that the restrictions would be lifted in the city.

If there was ever a shot that perfectly depicted West Gardner Square on a lazy summer day in the 1960s, the accompanying photograph taken by Charles Clark could be it.
Shoppers are seen milling in and out of the many stores, while downtown regulars lean on a streetlamp or congregate in the doorway of a barber shop to share in the daily news.
A Gardner police officer, safely stowed in his traffic box, directs the cars motoring along through the square.
This was downtown Gardner in the mid-1960s when Edward’s Rexall Drugs, City Barber Shop, Gardner Office Supply, Priscilla Candy Shop, Sandrof’s Men’s Furnishings, Davis Hardware, First National Bank, J.C. Penney and Gardner Cooperative Bank filled the Pleasant Street store fronts.
