Paul was raised in Attleboro. His parents are retired pharmacists and small business owners. He spent many summers and days after school working in his parents' drug stores, where from a very young age he learned the hard work, service and the challenges and rewards of small business ownership.
National Grid has a maintenance plan to visit every street in the city and to prune every tree in the city hanging near powerlines at least once every five years. The city's Park & Forestry Department is not allowed to cut tree limbs that are near or over powerlines; that is why I have made sure that National Grid stays on schedule.
