• Updates on Affordable Housing in Westford (westfordcat.org) — Westford's Affordable Housing Committee is updating the town's housing needs assessment and Housing Production Plan, which guides where and how new affordable units are created. Members reviewed progress on converting the Westford Regency Inn and Town Farm Road/Powers Road projects, including permitting, demolition timing, and plans to donate remaining hotel furnishings before fire department training and full demolition this fall.
• Select Board Postpones Replacement of Deteriorating Culvert (westfordcat.org) — Westford officials have delayed replacing the deteriorating Acton Road culvert until summer 2027, avoiding a school-year road closure but prolonging concerns about the structure's condition and detour impacts. The Select Board also reviewed resident complaints about Old Lowell Road detours, celebrated a well-attended community block party, honored first responders, weighed a digital billboard proposal, and discussed upcoming employee health insurance changes.
• Local roundup: Carlson, Ohanesian shine at collegiate golf tournament (lowellsun.com) — A local sports roundup highlights college golfers with area ties and a prestigious Cape Cod high school invitational, but Westford readers may especially notice youth soccer news. Westford resident Mikey Miller is emerging as a standout forward on the New England Revolution Academy's U14 team, gaining high-level experience alongside top prospects from across New England.
