Wayland Patch 9/6/12: Finnertys Plan Draws Praise, Put Downs During Planning Board Hearing. It was standing room only at a Sept. 4 Wayland Planning Board public hearing on developers’ plans to replace the former Finnerty’s restaurant in Cochituate with commercial property featuring a CVS and a second building with office and restaurant space.

About 60 people attended the hearing, and 15 addressed their concerns or compliments on the project to the board. Criticism ranged from traffic and safety issues to simply not wanting a CVS in the village, while others said they would be happy to see activity at the vacant corner of Main and West Plain streets.
