Why this layer matters
This region keeps the Massachusetts guide moving east from Worcester. It lets Marlborough take on a real public anchor role, adds Shrewsbury and Northborough as on-route on-route towns in the same stretch, and keeps the corridor moving east without forcing a much broader MetroWest or Boston-side guide.
