What Would You Build in Malden?

Malden, MA - Earlier this week, Malden Patch asked our Facebook readers what they would build or fix in town if they were given $1 million.

Readers from across the area responded with answers varying from new playgrounds, renovated high schools and improved hospitals.

Also early this week, U.S. News and World Report released its list of the Top 10 Children’s Hospitals Across the Country. The hospitals were ranked in terms of “clinical outcomes,” “efficient coordination of care,” and “care-related resources.”

The publication periodically releases lists regarding the best schools in the country as well as most livable cities. Many of the things that make a town or city ‘livable’ are resources and public spaces i.e. good schools, roads, parks, libraries, etc. Not surprisingly, these were many of the things readers said they would build or fix in their town if granted $1 million to do so.

Here’s what your neighbors said they would build in Malden:

• "Build a place for kid's to go after school and vacations. There is not enough programs for low income kid's to go and be safe and have snacks."
• " The pot holes and find a new trash system."
• "A Starbucks franchise in Malden Square."
• "Funds for public school"
• "Home for my family. Always rented never own a home. It would be nice to retire in a house that's paid for."
• "Well Malden is still waiting for the ball park that was supposed to be done in April of 2015."
