THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, August 7, 2026 Page 11 O’Brien’s Florist & Greenhouses celebrates a century! Special Friends of the Malden River Meeting at City Hall Topic: revisions to the building site review on the Malden River J oin the Friends of the Malden River for a special meeting on Monday, August 10, 2026, from 6:00-7:30 in Malden City Hall’s Room 105 (first floor). Share your opinion, comments and ideas for this proposal of revising the zoning ordinance on the Malden River banks in Malden by the Strategic Planning Community and Development Department. The goal is to have a draft plan set by the end of August to propose to the City Council. If you cannot attend the August 10 meeting, any questions or comments can be sent via email to the Friends of the Malden River, which will present them for you. All comments are welcome before August 19. The draft plan will be presented to the public after it is revised with comments received. Malden’s Deputy Director for Business and Economic Development, Zach Lemel, will present a draft proposal to revise the zoning to promote economic development on lower Commercial Street in Malden. The intent of the revised zoning is to incentivize light industrial use development along the Malden River to increase Malden’s tax revenue in addition to providing access and open space along the Malden River. The existing building site review plan that was passed by the Malden City Council in 2021 is available at https://malden.municipalcodeonline.com/ by searching for 12.12.200 Malden River Site Plan Review. The details of the existing building code are as follows: Purpose and Intent: To ensure that the design and layout of new development and redevelopment will protect and conserve the Malden River and expand public access and use.
