Here are the posted open, public Southborough committee and board meetings for this week* along with my selected highlights from the agendas.
It looks like this week’s probably going to be a quiet one as we head towards the big 4th of July holiday.
As always, be aware that changes to the meeting schedule (and agendas) are known to happen throughout the week. (Scroll down for details on any meetings that popped up after last Monday’s post.) For an updated list of meetings, visit the Town website.
These days, most (but not all) meetings, can be participated in, watched live, and replayed from home.)**
