A 36.1-acre parcel of farmland previously home to Red’s Farm Stand in Westborough has sold for $6.1 million, according to the Worcester County Registry of Deeds.
The property at 64 Otis St. was sold by Joel S. Berberian, the executor of the estate of Michael M. Berberian, to Atlantic Otis Realty LLC, which is registered to David Capobianco of Framingham, longtime owner of Atlantic Management.
Atlantic Management is a developer with a portfolio including the Marlborough Hills office and lab development, which is home to Cytiva Life Sciences, among others.
The sale officially closed on April 9. The Town of Westborough last assessed the property at $5,481.
MARLBOROUGH City leaders on Thursday will hold a virtual forum on the proposed site of a long-awaited west side fire station.
The forum, hosted by Mayor Arthur Vigeant and Fire Chief Kevin Breen, will be held via Zoom at 6 p.m. A link will be posted on the city s website and Facebook page prior to the forum.
“We will be having a discussion and answering questions regarding the proposed site selection for a new fire station in west Marlborough,” Vigeant wrote on his Facebook page.
Last fall, the city agreed to purchase a 1.23-acre property on Elm Street for $440,000 that city officials have stressed could be part of a site for a west side fire station. The property, which includes a single-family home, was split into two parcels. The city kept a 35,000-square-foot plot near Bigelow Street and Locke Drive that could be used for a fire station.
MARLBOROUGH Several key issues will likely go before the City Council in 2021, including zoning to attract more life sciences companies to Marlborough, a proposed 140-unit apartment complex at the former McGee Farm and the annual city spending plan.
City Council President Michael Ossing outlined some of the significant measures expected to come before the council in the new year.
Life sciences
The city already has a strong reputation as a hub for life sciences companies, but Marlborough leaders plan to strengthen that distinction in the coming year.
Ossing anticipates new zoning will come before the council to make Marlborough even more attractive for life sciences companies to move to the city.
