Here is a selection of the committee and board meetings for the week along with my selected highlights from the agendas. All these meetings are open to the public, so you’re welcome to stop on by.
Editor’s Note: The Board of Selectmen meeting is being held tonight rather than their normal Tuesday night slot. (Due to scheduling issues.) Unfortunately, Southborough Access Media only has staffing to cover that meeting tonight. So, if there is something on the Planning Board’s agenda you’re concerned about seeing, you best head to the Senior Center/Cordaville Hall this evening.
On that note, it’s time for a shout out to SAM for all the great work they’ve been doing covering as many meetings as they have for the Town. It’s been an invaluable service to people who want to keep up with what’s going on in our Town government.
Be aware that changes to the meeting schedule are known to happen throughout the week. For an updated list of meetings, visit the town website.
