ICYMI: Preparing for Monday’s Special Town Meeting

Compiled by The Bedford Citizen

Issues around rezoning and acquisition of the Navy hangar on Hartwell Road have been covered in several articles since March 2018, and The Citizen wants to be sure you haven’t missed any of them:

Initial information about the hangar was revealed in Hanscom Field Advisory Committee and Hanscom Area Towns meetings earlier this year

• HFAC and HATS ~ April 2018 meetings
• How the Navy hangar site relates to Massport’s planned North Airfield development

Even so, the announcement of the GSA auction came as something of a surprise:

• The GSA auction was announced in mid-June

Three of Bedford’s town committees have considered the issue during their meetings

• The Finance Committee meeting on Thursday, July 26
• The Planning Board meeting on Tuesday, July 24
• The Historic Preservation Committee meeting on Tuesday, July 10

Letters to the Editor

• From the Selectmen on July 19
• From concerned residents Christopher and Jennifer Boles on July 24
