Voters OK Medical Marijuana Zoning, School Budget

Westborough's annual town meeting Saturday approved the school committee's budget request over two lower figures.

Voters also approved the planning board's proposed zoning bylaw amendment regulating medical marijuana treatment and dispensing facilities, as well as marijuana cultivation.

And voters approved the municipal building committee's request to borrow $7,354,063 to renovate Westborough Town Hall.

Voters approved 16 of the 17 warrant articles.

Only a citizen petition to limit Westborough's tax rate increase for fiscal years 2015 and 2016 failed to pass during the session, which was held in the Westborough High School auditorium.

The petition was the last order of business before the town meeting ended at 10:36 p.m.

Westborough Patch will have more town meeting coverage over the next few days.
