Southborough Wastewater Study Committee approved January minutes and advanced regional wastewater planning. Chair Sam Stivers reported the town has qualified for a Massachusetts Community Planning Grant through One Stop, with a March 2, 2026 meeting scheduled with Westborough officials to clarify regional coordination. Stivers presented a revised District Improvement Financing area boundary focused on Route 9 that remains within state law's 25 percent town land-area cap; members will review the draft before the next meeting.
Committee members continue developing a parcel spreadsheet and exploring AI tools for DIF planning support.
