What’s Happening with MCI Concord?

The State’s Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM) continues to work with the Town of Concord and the MCI Concord Advisory Board to determine viable uses for the MCI Concord property. Separately, the Town is negotiating with the State for possible acquisition of the sewage-treatment plant at the site. In February the Advisory Board used State funds to hire Agency Landscape and Planning (agencylp.com) as a consultant. Agency Landscape will analyze the site, connect with shareholders, and, by November 2025, make recommendations for land uses.

CHF is on the list of shareholders and will, in concert with Concord’s other affordable-housing groups, advocate for the inclusion of affordable and workforce housing on the site. The State has also stressed affordable housing as a site priority. While land-use exploration is underway, Junction Village, the CHDC-owned site adjacent to MCI Concord, is paused to see what happens with the larger parcel.

Agency Landscape held Community Visioning Workshops on April 30 to solicit input on the project. On May 28, Agency Landscape will present preliminary development scenarios to the Concord community. For more information, visit the MCI Concord project’s new website: mci-concord.org
