WELLESLEY — Advisory Committee hears presentation on MassBay 40 Oakland Street warrant articles.

The board outlined two options: pursue negotiation with the state or fund litigation to challenge the surplus designation.
During citizen speak, Jonathan Ettinger urged opposition to what he called an "utterly misguided" proposal, and Doug Youngen of Friends of Centennial reported over 3,400 petition signatures opposing the development.
