The Annual Town Meeting opened with a big night filled with impactful decisions as members gathered for its inaugural session. The evening kicked off with nods to the anniversary to the beginning of the American Revolution and two inspirational songs by the Elementary School Honors Chorale. But even before the body turned to the weighty business of the day, they got a much anticipated update on one of the town’s most current hot-button issues, the Envision Needham Center project. This session is currently available for streaming in the window below:
