Braintree Town Council Getting New Table, Desks

BRAINTREE, MA — The days of the Braintree Town Council sitting around a table will be a thing of the past starting Aug. 15.

At that meeting, there will be a new arraignment of tables at Cahill Auditorium. Instead of a half-circle with the nine councilors, there will be a table for three councilors, six desks for the remaining members, and extra tables for staff and the media, according to the Patriot Ledger.

Council President Sean Powers said the tables can be moved for events at the auditorium.

The new table and desks for the council cost about 10,000 and took about two-and-a-half months to make.
