*Southborough Access Media hasn’t posted yet that it will broadcast the BOS meeting. But, I won’t be surprised if they cover it live on Verizon-37 and Charter-192. I’m reaching out to get clarity, and will update this later. Click here to see this week’s schedule with rebroadcast times. (Videos are also usually made available through their YouTube channel by the following morning.)

Hi Beth, the Master Plan Committee’s poster has 6:30 as the start time for the meeting at Trottier on Thursday, but it’s posted as 6:00 above. Typo?
