WESTBOROUGH, MA — Westborough residents on Saturday voted on roughly half of the warrant articles at this year's Town Meeting, voting on the rest on Tuesday evening.

Voters approved a warrant article to renovate the Forbes Municipal Building and a zoning bylaw that opens up more options for the Westborough State Hospital land.

Residents also decided on a capital improvement plan that would replace an ambulance, firetruck and cruiser, buy a new loader and truck for the DPW, and a sewer grinder at the pump station.

To improve potential solutions to school buildings for students K-3, Article 24 approved to appropriate a sum of money for engineering and design.

Residents also gave the thumbs up for funds to pay for fireworks for a Fourth of July celebration, which was also approved.

Tuesday's meeting ended at 9:45 p.m.
