Construction would take place on Hudson Road near the Fire Department Headquarters.

The Board of Selectmen was unanimous in agreeing construction of a new police station is needed. Now they have to sell it to the rest of the town. During Tuesday night's meeting, Bill Braun of the Blue Ribbon Committee said residents would be happy to know the cost of the project, which voters rejected six years ago, has gone down. The original plan had an $8.2 million price tag in 2007, but after tweaking the plan it should come in near $7 million. "We need this for the community," Police Chief Richard Glavin said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Sudbury PD Deserves Our Appreciation

Resident Scott Nassa he's proud to live in a town with an honorable police department.

On behalf of myself and my family and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Sudbury Police Department for all that they do in the course of serving and protecting our town. I have recently read and heard a lot around town in regard to the May 8 Lavender incident.  While I think the whole incident is an absolute mess and an embarrassment for Sudbury, I find the rumors that the police tried to "cover it up" to be absolute nonsense.
