The Gardner Economic and Community Development Committee met to discuss several key urban improvements and organizational shifts. A major focus is the Waterford Community Center, where a transition plan is being drafted to move the senior center and accommodate new tenants like the disability commission and Gardner Educational television. Local officials emphasized making the building ADA compliant and accessible while expanding parking by removing old playground equipment.
Additionally, the committee received updates on the completion of safety repairs at Maki Park and the progress of the Rear Main street project, which aims to provide new green space and public parking by July. The meeting concluded with a look at upcoming municipal plans regarding surplus property and housing production scheduled for completion this summer.
