Due to a tight November schedule, coverage of the Needham Planning Board has had to depend on Zoom meeting recordings. In this session, the board was updated on two large issues coming to the fore in upcoming weeks. First they heard from the Large House Study Committee, due to hold a public session on Tuesday, November 18th. Then they got the latest information on the Pollard School scenarios, to be presented at a public hearing on the 17th, followed by an all-boards summit on Monday, November 24th. A busy month indeed!
