Early Fall Start for Town Hall Project Possible

Westborough Town Hall renovations could start in the early fall, Municipal Building Committee Chairman Bob Brown said Wednesday.

Voters at last Saturday's annual town meeting approved the borrowing of $7,354,063 for the project.

Brown said the architect is finishing the design of the 14-month project.

Officials hope to go out to bid around August, he said.

The town offices must be housed elsewhere during the work due to mold, asbestos and other issues, Town Manager Jim Malloy has said.

Brown said the temporary space has not been determined.

"It's a matter of finding the proper space close to the center of town," he said.
