Town Offices' Temporary Move to Town Sites Possible

Westborough Municipal Building Committee members are "really pushing" to move the Westborough Town Hall offices into town-owned buildings during the 14-month town hall renovation project, selectmen Vice Chairman George Barrette said Tuesday night.

Using town buildings would benefit Westborough on cost, and “also makes a big difference for Mark Stockman," the MIS/GIS director, Barrette said. Barrette serves on the municipal building committee.

“The Forbes Municipal Building is already wired," Barrette said, and the committee is looking to use the gymnasium there, as well as the upstairs auditorium.

Westborough “might lose that gym, because I’ve got to put cubicles there,” Barrette said.

“There’s another couple of buildings that might work for temporary space," he said.

Voters at the March 16 annual town meeting approved the borrowing of $7,354,063 for the project.

Renovations could start in the early fall, Municipal Building Committee Chairman Bob Brown has said.
