Upcoming Green Line Extension Meetings

Green Line Project Team ‘Meet and Greet’ May 12

MassDOT and the MBTA will shortly be hosting public “meet and greet” sessions to introduce the members of the new Green Line Extension project team to the Green Line Extension community. These sessions will be an opportunity to hear from the new team members about their past experience and their plans for the Green Line Extension project, and to share with them your ideas, questions, and aspirations for the project.

We hope that you will be able to join us Thursday, May 12, at 6PM, Medford City Hall, 85 George P. Hassett Dr., Medford

More information about the project can be found on the Green Line Extension website: www.mass.gov/greenlineextension.
