MARLBOROUGH – During its meeting on Monday, Dec. 18, the City Council approved several grants, including:
- $19,800 from the state’s Sustainable Materials Recovery Program. The funds will be used by the Department of Public Works to help offset rising costs of processing recyclable materials.
- $5,063 from the Brigham Family Trust. This will help the Police Department fund the annual Marlborough Youth Police Academy.
