Marblehead’s Rapid Recovery Plan

Over the last several months, the Town of Marblehead has participated in the Massachusetts Local Rapid Recovery Plan (LRRP) Program to help support business owners and community members by developing recovery plans for local business districts. In Marblehead, Downtown Marblehead and the B1 District (Atlantic & Pleasant St) have been the focus of our work. This recovery plan has been developed in coordination with the local government, and informed through stakeholder interviews, a public forum, and surveys, and is customized to the individual economic challenges and COVID-19 related impacts in Marblehead. It includes a data analysis as well as an exploration of challenges, barriers, strategies, and actions.

The Town has scheduled a public forum to review the LRRP Final Report and its recommendations on Monday, October 25 at 11am. We hope you’ll join us to view the recommendations of the final report and ask questions or offer comments on the report.
