Boxborough's Community Preservation Committee approved FY 2027 funding for cemetery restoration, housing, conservation, and town hall roof replacement. In a 7-1 vote, the committee rejected new language that would have allowed debt financing for future community preservation projects, deciding instead to require full funding through annual allocations. Members worried that debt authorization would constrain future committees; one option discussed was maintaining project reserves.
The committee also authorized staff to finalize award letters for a playground project and 1857 schoolhouse preservation contract.
