WESTBOROUGH, MA — Westborough will get about a third of a million dollars in extra state funding to repair roadways this year, according to state Rep. Hannah Kane (R-Shrewsbury). The money is coming from the state's Winter Recovery Assistance Program. Westborough's $314,000 allotment is based off the number of road miles in town. The WRAP program differs from other state infrastructure funding sources, like Chapter 90. The WRAP money will be given to the town up front instead of as a reimbursement, and can be used for items like resurfacing roads, replacing traffic lights and signs and adding guardrails and storm drains. The funding was solidified after Gov. Charlie Baker signed a supplementary spending bill in April. About $100 million from that bill was set aside for WRAP funding for cities and towns.
