There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
By Matthew L. Brown
A bevy state and local politicos including Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray and Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley will be in Marlboro at 2 p.m. today to help break ground on a new assisted living facility for senior citizens.
The new facility is planned for property once occupied by the Frye Shoe Manufacturing Co., and will be known as Chistopher Heights.
The facility will have 83 units, 40 percent of which will be considered affordable housing.
The Frye site was targeted for a cleanup last year under a state brownfields covenant not to sue agreement between the town and the attorney general's office.
Under the agreement, the state relieved the town of certain liability for contamination at the site, and the town promised to clean it up.
Frye operated a tannery and manufacturing facility on the 1.4-acre site for more than a century. The property has been vacant since the 1980s, and the city seized the property by eminent domain in 2004.
