Village Center Revitalization Project

View the Final Visioning Report Below

In 2022, the Economic Development Committee was awarded a Community Planning Grant, to study the future of a Boxborough Village Center. Having now signed a contract with Tighe & Bond, this exciting work is well underway, with a day of public engagement scheduled for Saturday February 10th! We hope you'll join us at Boxborough Town Hall for any or all of the events that day, and we plan to offer virtual participation for at least one session.
