At the recent Town of Concord meeting on November 12, 2024, discussions centered on the development of the MCI Concord property, with a focus on land use planning and community vision. A key point raised was the concern that the current project elements may reflect more of a consultant-driven approach rather than a vision that truly emerges from community input.

One participant expressed support for the fiscal year 2025 project elements but highlighted a critical note from a colleague, Mimi. The note suggested that the planning process might be overly reliant on the consultant's perspective, rather than fostering a collaborative vision that incorporates the community's needs and desires.

This discussion underscores the importance of community engagement in shaping the future of the MCI Concord property. As planning progresses, ensuring that local voices are heard will be crucial in developing a land use plan that resonates with residents and reflects their aspirations.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to revisit the planning approach, emphasizing the need for a more inclusive process moving forward. The outcome of these discussions could significantly influence the direction of the MCI Concord project and its impact on the community.
