The Needham Select Board held their first meeting since the election, and they dove straight into an aggressively scheduled agenda. The majority of time was spent working through material that will come before Town Meeting, but they also got the latest update on the proposal for a new MBTA Quiet Zone. There was a lot to talk about in this marathon session!
