Panel advances $100,000 for Magazine Hill parking

Select Board · Meeting of August 10, 2026

Woburn council committee advanced $100,000 for Magazine Hill parking and two infrastructure loans. Councilor Demers, acting chair of the Committee on Finance, oversaw a voice vote sending out a transfer from the downtown parking account to finish the lot, with total costs estimated at $200,000 to $250,000. The committee also sent out a $15 million sewer loan order and a $10 million water main order, conditioned on project lists.

One city official said the sewer order "just authorizes us to get in the game." The Committee on Ordinance, Charter and Rules weighed raising littering fines to $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for repeat offenses.
