Description

We’ve invited the two candidates running for the Needham Select Board and the two candidates running for the Needham Planning Board to join us in separate forums ahead of the April 8 town election.

Only Heidi Frail, vice-chair of the select board, and Eric Greenberg, candidate for the planning board, agreed to participate.

Their respective opponents, Vikram Kaul, and Kenneth Buckley, did not respond to multiple invitations to participate.

So we’re going ahead with separate back-to-back conversations with Frail and Greenberg. Our focus will be issues related to economic development, housing, workforce, and the environment, but more general topics may be discussed as well. Questions from the business community in advance are welcome. This event will be recorded and shared later.
