Foxborough Select Board approves $2.5 million purchase of 76 Main Street for community center
Summary
The Select Board voted unanimously July 16 to buy 76 Main Street from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‑day Saints for $2.5 million to establish a new community center; staff will finalize closing documents and escrow steps.
The Foxborough Select Board voted unanimously July 16 to purchase 76 Main Street for $2,500,000, authorizing the chair to execute all documents necessary to complete the acquisition. The motion referenced authorization granted by Article 15 of the May 13, 2024 Town Meeting and directed staff to deliver required signatures to the town’s real‑estate attorney to move the sale into escrow.
Town staff said the purchase will allow the municipality to establish a new community center under Select Board care, and facilities and building‑committee members are already coordinating next steps for planning and reuse. The board recorded a unanimous roll‑call vote in favor of the purchase. Board members noted the purchase advances a long‑standing priority to secure public space for community programs.
The town manager and town counsel will complete the closing paperwork; the board said four signatures will be obtained so the transaction can proceed without delay. Once the deed transfers and escrow closes, facilities staff and the building committee will begin planning tenant and programming details.
