Malden plays key role in Lower Mystic Vision

Malden is integral to the Lower Mystic Waterfront Vision — both as an environmental justice community and as a potential bridge city that can help connect people, cultures, and green spaces across the watershed. Its inclusion ensures that upstream voices shape how the entire region adapts to climate change and creates equitable, connected, and thriving riverfronts.
