Board Approves Wine and Beer License for Norwood Theater The Norwood Board of Selectmen voted unanimously to approve a Wine and Malt Beverage license, a C.V. license and an Entertainment license for the Norwood Theater, set to reopen in August, after a short public hearing Tuesday night. Susan Lewis, manager for the theater, said the ability to serve alcoholic refreshments will allow the theater to function at the level of others in the area. "I want to be able to compare the venue with some of the performing arts centers in Boston and the surrounding area," she said.

Notes from the Board of Selectmen meeting Tuesday night.
High School Project Needs More Funding for Concession Stand Tim Bonfatti told the Board that there are only a few things left to complete on the high school, including the front site and parking lot which should be finished in the next month. Inside the building, he said there are about 10 "relatively minor" items that are being worked on.

The board heard from the project managers on the town hall repairs proposed for later this year.
Town Hall Repairs On Tuesday night the town Selectmen heard an update from Dale Gienapp, of Dale Gienapp Design, and Tim Bonfatti, Owner's Project Manager, on the repairs due to the Town Hall building. Gienapp said that although the contractor's warranty is only a year, the work, which won't be started until later this year, should be good for quite a long time. The previous repairs made bought several extra years on the building, he said, but through the natural aging process of the building new repairs are necessary. Town Manager John Carroll said the town budget is currently carrying $1.8 million for this project, a number that will be refined in the coming months, but is unlikely to be lowered.
