• Residents form organized opposition against Amazon's bid to bring drone delivery to local area (communityadvocate.com) — Northborough residents are among those organizing against Amazon's plan to launch high-speed delivery drones from its Otis Street facility in nearby Westborough, which would serve homes within a 7.5‑mile radius. A new group, Mass Blue Skies, and local legislators are pressing Amazon and the Westborough Planning Board for a pause and more public input, arguing affected towns like Northborough currently have little direct control.
