Ford site offered for Sudbury town hall proposes park store location
Sudbury residents debate sites for a new town hall after a historic blaze erased the old building. The committee, led by Harvey N. Fairbank, considers four locations including the Jonas Haynes place on Wayland road and Lamson property at Post and Center roads. The Ford offer at 15 000 dollars plus land is deemed too small or risky, with assembly hall plans for 500 and room for recreation.
