It’s a Good Week for...

• Breweries, Maybe: Over the past six months, the Brodeur Administration has been working to establish a local process to allow for the operation of breweries within Melrose City limits. Tonight, the Melrose Liquor Licensing Commission will reconvene to continue the next step in the process: they will consider, review, and adopt Liquor Licensing regulations for the local issuance of Farmer Series Pouring Permits.

• Holiday Shopping on Main Street: The City of Melrose launched a downtown holiday Pop-Up shopping experience for the Melrose community at the YMCA Courtyard. Head there this week to check out offerings from Housse Studio!
• Deliberating: The Melrose School Committee will hold a special meeting to begin deliberations and potentially vote on the appointment of the next Superintendent of Schools.
