📰 News we're reading
• Chicago firm buys Boylston distribution site for $90M (wbjournal.com) — A major distribution complex at 80 Pine Hill Drive in Boylston has just sold for $90.25 million, with Cardinal Health as its primary tenant. The 396,000-square-foot facility, assessed locally at $24 million, underscores how national investors are betting heavily on Boylston’s growing role in New England logistics and warehousing. 
• Central Mass. legislators push back on Amazon drone proposal (masslive.com) — Boylston homes are included in Amazon’s proposed 7.5‑mile drone delivery radius from its Westborough distribution center, which has prompted pushback from several Central Mass. legislators. They’re asking Amazon to pause the plan until concerns about noise, privacy, safety, flight paths and operating hours are fully addressed, ahead of a key Westborough Planning Board meeting on Oct. 6.
• Mass DCR update on Asian Longhorned Beetle in CMass (spectrumnews1.com) — Boylston remains inside the Asian Longhorned Beetle restricted zone, alongside Worcester, West Boylston and part of Auburn, even as nearby towns like Shrewsbury and Holden have been deregulated. State forest health crews are still surveying trees repeatedly in Boylston, aiming to find no new damage so the town can eventually be cleared of restrictions.
