Mass Environmental Trust grants $150K to Mystic Valley Development Commission for Wellington Greenway

10/27/09 | 9:23 am

The Mystic Valley Development Commission (MVDC) has been awarded a $150,000 grant to help fund construction of the Wellington Greenway in Medford, a riverfront walk which will connect the River’s Edge and Wellington Business Center (10 Cabot Road, 20 Cabot Road — the Citizens Bank Building — and One Cabot Road) Riverfront Pathways to the Wellington MBTA station and beyond to Station Landing and the Mystic Reservation.

Energy and Environmental Affairs Undersecretary Philip Griffiths announced the grant last week during an event at the Tufts University Boat House at River’s Edge.

“This grant awarded through the Mass Environmental Trust is another example of the benefits of collaboration among the cities of Everett, Malden and Medford through the MVDC,” said Mayor Michael J McGlynn, chairman of the MVDC. “Completion of the Wellington Greenway will benefit the residents of our three cities and surrounding communities by opening beautiful sections of the Malden and Mystic Rivers to the public.”

The Wellington Greenway, designed by Shadley and Associates, will also improve public access to the Park at River’s Edge. Set on a former industrial site along the banks of the Malden River, River’s Edge has undergone a striking environmental transformation. As a result, the Malden riverfront has been reclaimed for local residents, visitors and wildlife.

The award-winning park at River’s Edge includes 10 acres of publicly accessible open space that has transformed the edge of the Malden River with extensive landscaping, granite seat walls, lighting, wetlands and the Tufts University Boat House.

During the event, Griffiths also announced four additional grants along the Mystic/Malden River corridor: the Celebrate the Mystic project, the Blessing of the Bay Boathouse & Blue Heron River Route project, the Condon Shell project and the Village Landing Public River Access and Canoe Launch Development project.
