Fernald
Reuse Committee
Note from the Mayor:
The reuse of
Fernald School will have a major impact not only on the residents of
Fernald, but also on North Waltham and the entire City of Waltham. The
property encompasses approximately 200 acres off Trapelo Road which is a
heavily traveled, narrow 'country' road.
Local community
planning is imperative since residents are currently unable to access
Trapelo Road to get to their homes during their daily activities.
I would encourage all citizens to help the Reuse Committee formulate a plan
that works for Waltham, while preserving our open space and protecting the
site from over-development.
Statement of Purpose:
The Fernald Reuse Committee was originally established in 2004 in order to
determine how the 196+ acre Fernald campus will be utilized once the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts surpluses the site (in whole or in part).
While the case regarding Fernald has been tied up in various legal
proceedings, the Committee has consistently requested analysis and
documentation regarding the Fernald campus in order to be as informed and
up-to-the-minute as possible.
The Reuse Committee is dedicated to ensuring that the Fernald campus is
utilized in a manner that would best serve the citizens of Waltham.
All residents are encouraged to attend Committee meetings and contact
Committee members if they have any questions regarding the status of Fernald
or questions in general regarding the campus.
