Amazon seeks Westborough approval for New England's first drone delivery zone

Amazon is seeking approval from the Westborough, Massachusetts planning board to launch its Prime Air drone delivery service in New England. The program would operate from a local distribution center, covering a 7.5-mile radius that includes Shrewsbury and Northborough. While the company emphasizes safety and low noise levels, local officials and residents have raised concerns regarding sound, privacy, and airspace safety. This move coincides with Amazon exploring similar expansions in Portland, Oregon, as part of a broader national rollout.
