1 Seat Each on Planning, Library Boards Drawing 0 Interest

Two offices on Westborough's March 4 annual town ballot are missing something.

Someone to run for them.

A four-year term on the planning board and a three-year term on the library trustees had drawn no one to take out nomination papers as of Monday afternoon, Interim Town Clerk Wendy Mickel said.

There's a 5 p.m. Friday deadline for taking out nomination papers. 

There's a 5 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 14 deadline for filing signed nomination papers signed by 50 registered voters.

Selectmen recently added the four-year term on the planning board to the ballot. Joanne Mallozzi resigned this fall, less than a year into her term.
