MARLBOROUGH – During its Monday, July 22, meeting, the City Council approved several grants that will help bolster transportation options.
The Marlborough Economic Development Corp. will receive a grant of $425,000 from the Rail and Transit Division of the state’s Department of Transportation (MassDOT). The grant will be used to continue MEDC’s commuter shuttle that goes to and from the Southborough Commuter Rail Station.
A $25,000 grant from the Massachusetts Council on Aging will enable the senior center to hire an additional bus driver for its transportation program.
The aging council also awarded the senior center a grant of $3,400 to be used to develop a marketing/informational packet for services. This packet would be made available to new residents, as well as residents turning 60 years of age.
