Published January 17, 2019 By MAUREEN DOHERTY NORTH READING — The town has withdrawn its offer to purchase the former New England Spring Water property at 217 Main St. for $3.5M The announcement was made at Monday night’s Select Board meeting by Town Administrator Michael Gilleberto just about a day and half prior to the deadline for the town to sign the purchase and sales agreement. The change in direction came about as a result of the review process town departments and board members had undertaken to determine if this investment would indeed be worth a big chunk of the town’s available capital.
