Week in Review: Tebow Cut From Patriots, Selectmen Endorse New Town Hall, and More

“In the long run, we would benefit in building a new building that this town needs for the next 30-40 years instead of retrofitting this one,” Yukna said.

With a 5-0 vote, the board reaffirmed their commitment to constructing a new town hall on the location of the current one and will ask residents at a special town meeting later this year for permission to use $550,000 to create the final design.
