Milton Moves Select Board Meeting From Council on Aging

MILTON, MA — The Milton Select Board's public hearing on 40B projects funding Wednesday night was moved to the Cronin Room where Select Board meetings were held prior to May 2018. The Select Board said the hearing was moved from the Council on Aging at the request of the town's health director due to concerns about coronavirus transmission.

"While not optimal, we will do our best to accommodate all interested attendees at town hall," the Select Board said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.

The Select Board said it is making other avenues available for those who want to voice their opinion on the 40B projects, but do not feel comfortable or are unable to attend a public hearing. Those wishing to make comments during the meeting can email them to mdennehy@townofmilton.org and attempts will be made to read them aloud during the hearing. Online comments can be made here.

Additional public hearings are tentatively scheduled for March 25 and April 7.

The Select Board said it is seeking from MassHousing an extension for the Select Board's submitting comments during the pendency of the Commonwealth’s State of Emergency. If that request is granted, there will be more time for additional public meetings.
