Marlborough Community awarded MARC grant
Congratulations to the Marlborough Neighborhood Coalition for receiving a MARC PSP grant for the CATALYST PROJECT. The PROJECT will focus on improved access to healthy foods, utilizing arts and social services to bring the community together, and innovative redevelopment/reuse strategies for the Marlborough school site and other vacant/underutilized parcels.

Environmental Assessments Conducted on 2 sites

KCPS has hired an Environmental Assessment team to conduct asbestos inspections on McCoy and Thacher.  Asbestos inspections/reports are required to identify potential hazards to be removed prior to demolition. The Repurposing Office has been discussing demolition as an option for these sites with local stakeholders in order to address safety concerns at both sites. After the asbestos inspection reports are completed, the district will begin site remediation and community engagement around the reuse of the cleared site.
