An improved main street lined with restaurants/pubs/boutiques and not 5 gas stations!!
Create a vibrant downtown with small shops, local small restaurants and pubs. Walking area for people to stroll up and down. Maybe even close off one street to be just pedestrian traffic and encourage outdoor seating areas. Even a Westboro Plaza/Square similar to a plaza in Europe.

Affordable Housing/Black owned Businesses
I'd like to see more diversity in Westborough, both economically and racially. Recruit BIPOC business owners to add to our downtown and increase the curb appeal (agree with another comment that downtown could be so much more appealing - I'd love to see more restaurants and retail), and get our affordable housing units into the triple digits! We have a population of over 4,000 but only 1 affordable housing complex with 87 units. 42% of our population rents, and 27% of those renters are overburdened. We can do better!

Tear down all of the abandoned buildings
All of the abandoned buildings in Westborough make the town look bad.

More pedestrian access/sidewalks/trails
Would love to see sidewalks extended on East and West Main Street, Route 30 etc., to the borders of town. The whole town should be safely walkable. A full rail trail using more of the old trolley right of way would be great as well.

Sidewalks on West Route 30 and West Main St
Many residential communities on either side of these roads are disconnected from each other from a walking standpoint because there are limited or no sidewalks. Would also be nice for sidewalks on these streets to provide full pedestrian access to downtown.
