Westborough Historical Commission Ready For Temporary Home

Westborough Historical Commission display cases were marked on Friday -- with moving information.

The commission closed its Forbes Municipal Building office, the first town department to move as part of the Westborough Town Hall renovation.

The commission will reopen at the Westborough Public Library, in the children's area, on Monday, Sept. 9, town officials said. The commission's office hours while at the library will be 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The display cases will move to the library's main floor after the library's carpeting project is done next week, secretary Sue Speckman said.

On Friday, Sept. 13, the recreation department's town hall office will close, as will the health department's Forbes Municipal Building office, town officials said.

Recreation moves to the Forbes Community Building, and health to the Central One Federal Credit Union at 40 South St., and both will reopen on Monday, Sept. 16.

The new health hours will be Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8 to 4:30 p.m.; Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Friday from 7:30 a.m. to noon.

The moves end on Sept. 27, when the assessing department, town clerk, town accountant, treasurer/collector, selectmen/town manager, town counsel and MIS/GIS offices close, town officials said.

Assessing, the town clerk, accounting and the treasurer/collector will be open at the Forbes Municipal Building on Sept. 30. The rest will reopen that day at the Department of Public Works, at 131 Oak St.

The town's website will have town boards' meeting locations, town officials said.
