Westborough TV Funding Agreement

At a glance

  • What: the town's funding agreement with Westborough TV, which adds town support to its cable franchise fee income. The fiscal 2027 amount was set at town meeting and adjusted on October 19 after cable franchise revenue came in higher, lowering the amount raised by taxes.
  • Where it stands: on November 3 the Select Board voted to authorize the town manager to sign a further amendment reflecting the change (count unclear in the captions; no opposition).
  • Watch: the Verizon franchise agreement is expected to be renegotiated around 2028.
