MARLBOROUGH, MA — Residents and local businesses are being asked to help determine which development priorities Marlborough should pursue in the years ahead.

The Marlborough Economic Development Corporation and the City of Marlborough are collecting feedback on the Draft Marlborough Forward Plan. Responses will help officials prioritize proposed actions involving investment, land use, economic development, housing and downtown improvements.

The planning effort is intended to guide future decisions affecting growth and development across Marlborough. Because the document remains in draft form, MEDC and the city are seeking community input before moving forward with its identified priorities.
