FRAMINGHAM - Framingham Mayor Charlie Sisitsky provided a number of updates on city developments, including a new community center and school, during a recent meeting with the Coburnville-Tripoli Neighborhood Association.

Sisitsky told attendees last Monday that the city is aiming to purchase the Marian High School property along Union Avenue.

The mayor previously mentioned that Framingham has roughly $15 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) money still at its disposal, which must be obligated by the end of 2024. The ARPA funds could pay for the property transaction and any additional renovations for a new community center.

Another purchase is slated to be made soon by the city, according to Sisitsky. The mayor told the crowd that Framingham is set to buy property along Bethany Road later this year; that land would be utilized for a new elementary school.

Sisitsky offered up additional updates on other local projects. He said his administration is working towards increasing the accessibility of Lake Waushakum, improving roads and sidewalks within the area, as well as adding splash pads to the city’s south side.
