EDC endorses Planning Board's highway business district zoning article for Oct. 21 Town Meeting
Summary
The Economic Development Committee voted to support the Planning Board's highway business district zoning article scheduled for the Oct. 21 Town Meeting; members agreed to designate a representative to state the committee's endorsement at Town Meeting.
At its Oct. 1 meeting, the Westborough Economic Development Committee voted to support the Planning Board's highway business district zoning article that will appear on the Oct. 21 Town Meeting warrant.
A committee member summarized that the planning board had already voted to support the article and asked the EDC to endorse it; another member made the motion and a second followed. The committee conducted a roll-call endorsement; members responded "yes" during the roll call (recorded names included Scott, Riley, Bernardo, Kiyo, Jim Garcia, Coker, Henderson, Chapman and Bagden) and the committee confirmed its support for the article. The committee agreed to designate a member to speak at Town Meeting to report the EDC's endorsement.
Why it matters: The zoning article could affect commercial zoning along Westborough's highway business corridors; the EDC's endorsement signals business-community support ahead of Town Meeting.
Next steps: Committee members will designate a representative to read the committee's endorsement at Town Meeting and staff will prepare any requested supporting materials.
