North Reading, MA - Selectmen are holding a public hearing next week on a proposed policy that could help bring state department of transportation funds into the town.

The North Reading Board of Selectmen will hold a public meeting on Monday, April 4, 2016 at 7:45 p.m. in Room 14, North Reading Town Hall to review and vote on a proposed “Complete Streets” Policy.
