The Catalyst Plan will provide a consensus-building process for
the five neighborhoods of Marlborough to create a common
vision and identity while prioritizing projects, programs, and
partnerships that contribute the highest value to the
interconnected systems of:
• Mobility
• New development and redevelopment projects, including the
reuse of vacant parcels
• Culture, arts, and social systems
• Access to healthy food
• Adaptive reuse of historic buildings, such as the Marlborough
School.
