Town meeting approved a $15,000 appropriation from free cash to the Northborough Historical Commission to support programming commemorating the 250th anniversary of events tied to the American Revolution.

Bob Light, chair of the Historical Commission, outlined the town's Revolutionary-era history and described planned events and outreach, including school programs, video production, displays at the library, a Minuteman departure reenactment on April 19, and a proposed June 1776 commemoration tied to the town's early vote in favor of independence. "Northborough has a very rich history in leading up to the revolutionary war and, during the revolutionary war," Light said, summarizing key events.

The Northborough Revolution 250 Committee has coordinated town commissions and nonprofits, secured initial funding from ARPA and local sources and contributed volunteer time; the requested $15,000 is one-time support for the remaining events through the anniversary period. The Appropriations Committee recommended the article unanimously and town meeting approved the transfer by majority vote.
