Zoning Article on Needham Brew Pubs

Needham was once a “dry town”, meaning that alcohol could not be purchased in stores or restaurants operating within the town. Town meeting has done a lot to change that over the years, and now the Planning Board is approaching them to take things a step further. They are hoping that the town body will act to allow brewpubs and microbreweries into a secton of town. What does that entail, and where would one go? Municipal Producer Yuxiao Yuan has the details. Please note that just this week, this article has been marked for withdrawal from consideration at the Spring 2022 Town Meeting.
