How to follow the MCI Concord redevelopment: websites, meetings, and alerts
Want timely, reliable updates on the MCI Concord redevelopment? Focus on a few official channels: the Town's project site, the Advisory Board meeting page, and Town-wide alert subscriptions. Here's where to look and how to make sure nothing slips past you.
The Town maintains an official project website for the MCI Concord redevelopment. If you want to skip the rumors and secondhand summaries, start here. It's the source the Town itself points the public to for redevelopment information.
Want to know what's coming up next? Look for meeting agendas. The Town posts MCI Concord Advisory Board agendas in advance on the Town website, so you can preview discussion topics before a meeting happens.
Missed a meeting, or want to confirm what was said? Minutes are the record to watch for. The Town publishes MCI Concord Advisory Board minutes on its website once the Board approves them, so expect a delay after the actual meeting date.
Planning to attend in person? It helps to know the usual rhythm. MCI Concord Advisory Board meetings are typically held at the Town House (22 Monument Square) in the Select Board Meeting Room on Mondays at Noon. A Zoom option is also available.
Note: The Town page currently lists no scheduled MCI Concord Advisory Board meetings. Check back on the project page for newly posted dates and materials.
If you only check websites occasionally, updates are easy to miss. Subscribe to the Town's News Flash and Notify Me services for email and text notifications. You can choose town-wide or department-specific messages, so you're not relying on luck to catch new posts.
Note: For emergencies, the Town of Concord uses the Code Red alert system to notify residents. If you want urgent alerts to reach you fast, this is the system to sign up for.
Following the redevelopment closely? Maps can help you understand the immediate area and who might be notified as plans progress. Concord GIS offers an Abutters List App that lets you create, save, and print abutter lists and mailing labels. It's useful when you need to identify nearby property owners for outreach or public-notice purposes.
Concord GIS also provides a Broadband Availability App. Search an address to check Concord Light municipal broadband availability. This is a practical tool if you're trying to understand service coverage at specific addresses tied to the broader discussion around future use and infrastructure.
Need map layers beyond local apps? MassGIS provides statewide data you can stack and compare. It offers layers like roads, wetlands, aerial photos, and property parcels. You can combine them using the MassMapper interactive mapping tool to build a map for any area in Massachusetts.
