Retail alcohol sales considered

The Board of Selectmen is holding a public hearing on the possibility of opening up the town to retail alcohol sales. The meeting will take place Tuesday at 7:45 p.m. in Town Hall. Selectmen are seeking the input of residents as they look at a recommendation by the town’s economic advisers to rescind the ban on alcohol sales outside of restaurants. Comments on the measure can also be e-mailed to selectmen@ needhamma.gov, or by writing to the Board of Selectman, Needham Town Hall, 1471 Highland Ave., 02492. - Dan Adams
