Parking study shows sufficient spaces available
Team honors legacy of fallen hero
By Susan Gonsalves Contributing Writer WESTBOROUGH – A parking analysis of downtown Westborough showed that there is ample space that is being underutilized.

The Algonquin Regional High School hockey team gathers at the plaque at the Town Common honoring Brian Arsenault.

Before he joined the U.S. Army, Brian Arsenault was himself a student at ARHS, playing varsity hockey all four years before graduating in 2004.
