On December 6, State Senator Jason Lewis reconvened the Malden River Forum. There was substantial participation from local government (including Malden, Medford and Everett), state and federal government, community groups and businesses. The Malden River, which is part of the Mystic River Watershed, is a historic waterway, and many local leaders and community groups are working hard to help revitalize and improve public access to this beautiful natural resource. The purpose of the Malden River Forum is to foster collaboration among all the different stakeholder groups and support the many exciting initiatives that are underway along the banks of the river, such as the Malden River Works project.
