• Shrewsbury Route 20 Project Gets Nearly $10M Federal Boost (patch.com) — Northborough drivers and pedestrians will see major changes along Route 20 thanks to nearly $10 million in new federal funding for upgrades stretching from Shrewsbury into town. The project will add travel and turn lanes, sidewalks, shared-use paths, roundabouts, and stormwater improvements, aiming to ease congestion and make it safer to walk and bike along this busy corridor.
• Northborough & the MetroWest Corridor: Why Families Keep Choosing This Massachusetts Hub (dailyiowan.com) — If you live in or are considering Northborough, this piece breaks down what daily life here really looks like, from housing costs and commuting routes to school quality and local parks. It highlights Northborough's small-town center, strong regional schools with Southborough, and easy access to Worcester, Boston's western suburbs, and the broader MetroWest job market, helping families judge whether the town fits their priorities.
• Residents form organized opposition against Amazon's bid to bring drone delivery to local area (communityadvocate.com) — Residents in Northborough are among those organizing against Amazon's plan to launch high-speed delivery drones from its Westborough facility, which would serve a 7.5‑mile radius across more than a dozen communities. A new group, Mass Blue Skies, is pushing for a statewide, go-slow approach, while local and state officials debate how much control towns like Northborough actually have over the proposal.
