Common Closed
July 14, 2022
• Needham Town Common will likely be under construction through the end of the year to provide a more welcoming and usable grassy area.
Those passing through the center of town may have noticed some changes taking place near the Town Hall. Trees have been cleared off the Common, the area fenced off, and the passage in front of the building has been closed from parking and pedestrians alike. A much anticipated renovation project has begun, with the end goal of making the Needham Common… a bit more special!
