  Message From Our

 Executive Director

 

I continue working with the City Council on changing the ordinance on water and sewer rates for down town businesses and residents to be billed separately.

  

Whether you are a WBA member or not, our organization is here to ensure that, as a business owner, you are treated fairly by our city government agencies.
If any member would like to schedule a visit from me to discuss any concerns you may have, please call the office.
  

I believe there is no other organization in Woburn or the surrounding area that dedicates the time and interest in our business community than the Woburn Business Association.

 

In closing, I would like to wish all members and their families a happy and safe Memorial Day.

 

. 

Michael P. Meaney
