From the Wellesley Board of Selectmen:

The Board of Selectmen invites you to a public forum on Nov. 5 at 7:10pm at Town Hall’s Juliani Room to solicit feedback on the proposal to allow the sale of beer and wine within food store and specialty food store retail establishments for off premises consumption in the Town of Wellesley.

An article has been placed on the December 9, 2013 Special Town Meeting Warrant to allow the Selectmen to petition the General Court for special legislation to authorize the Town to issue such licenses and the Selectmen have been working to craft definitions, restrictions, and draft regulations.

We hope you can attend this important meeting and look forward to hearing your thoughts and considerations on this topic.

If you cannot attend, but would like to send along comments please do so by calling (781) 431-1019 ext. 2201 or by emailing [email protected] .
