The Northborough Select Board meeting held on February 10, 2025, focused on several key decisions, including the approval of a legislative priorities letter and the appointment of new members to various boards and committees.
The meeting began with a motion to approve the legislative priorities letter, which was unanimously accepted by the board. Following this, the chair opened the floor for public comments, but no attendees were present to contribute.
A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to discussing appointments to the Library Board of Trustees and the Master Plan Implementation Committee. The interview committee, consisting of board members Laura and Mike, was commended for their efforts in conducting interviews for these positions.
