A Report on the first Public Meeting of the “Malden Works for Waterfront Access and Equity” Project
Introduction by MIT Community Engagement and Education Core Director Dr. Kathleen Vandiver: More than 90 people attended the Malden River Works Kick-off Public Meeting held at the Malden Senior Center on October 21, 2019. City officials who attended this meeting stated it was the greatest diversity at public town meeting they had seen. Malden High School (HS) youth were also present in wonderful numbers, and they took part in the workshop exercises and volunteered to do the report-backs for their table group discussions. Later, Dr. Vandiver discovered that Carlos Aragon Aldana had written a report about the meeting for the HS newspaper. Dr. Vandiver made a few typographical edits to this report (below), and would like to share this youth’s perspective on the first public meeting in Malden.
