Town Seeks Ideas for North 40 at Workshop Tonight

North 40 Workshop Tonight at Wellesley High

The Town holds a public workshop at 6:30 p.m. tonight in the Wellesley High School cafeteria at 50 Rice Street, a new location for the meeting. It will gather input on the future of the 46-acre North 40, land the Town bought from Wellesley College in 2014. After a brief history overview, participants will map out possible uses in an interactive 'charrette.' Topics include potential municipal uses, a proposed fire station headquarters and a 13.12-acre conservation restriction, though organizers say the focus is the process rather than any single project. Wellesley Media will record the session for on-demand viewing.
