Malden Examining Future Of Broadway Corridor

MALDEN, MA — The city is developing a land use and economic development plan for the Broadway (Rt. 99) Corridor using a grant from the Massachusetts Gaming Commission. The framework includes a study of existing physical and economic conditions of the corridor, projections of Encore Boston Harbor-related impacts and recommendations on land use, economic development and job retention and creation strategies.

The city and the Malden Redevelopment Authority selected planning firm BSC Group to help develop the study over the summer. The first community meeting was held Oct. 23 at the Malden Moose Hall.

The plan "addresses clear and action-oriented plan to protect important uses, prepare for and regulate new development, and utilize gaming facility-driven economic opportunities to grow Malden’s business community and prevent Corridor deterioration," according to the city.

Malden is collecting feedback on the plan through an online survey.
