It was a long haul for the Select Board as they met for their August 13th session. The board faced an agenda stocked with public hearings and informational items that kept them talking into the night. There was some shade cast regarding the removal of a tree on Manning Avenue, an audit report on last year’s finances, and an in depth look at how Needham ranks in comparison to communities nationwide.
