Downtown Southborough Wayfinding Plan
The draft Downtown Southborough Wayfinding Plan remains under review as officials evaluate sign styles and destination listings. The Historical Commission and Select Board have urged the inclusion of omitted historic landmarks like the Community House and Burnett Mansion, while cautioning against visual clutter and overly modern designs. Town administration plans to seek state One Stop grant funding to develop fabrication specifications and install the signs.
