Blue "Town Tables" will be seen in Medfield soon!

On May 26, 2020, the Medfield Board of Selectmen recognized that this pandemic calls for creative solutions to aid in the resilience of local businesses. The Board of Selectmen approved the purchase of 11 picnic tables and 8 trash/recycling receptacles to be placed around the Downtown so that people may get take-out from local restaurants and dine nearby on town-owned land.

The Board of Selectmen also approved the consumption of beer and wine on these town-owned
spaces with the stipulation that it is purchased from the restaurant as part of the take-out order. This will be allowable temporarily from 4-9 pm.
