This was a unique partnership between Marathon Development and supportive service agencies, a redevelopment opportunity that delivered major benefits for the community and for families in need.

Marathon was awarded a grant and, within five months, was able to house 14 families (including 21 children) previously experiencing homelessness. The property had been vacant for 9 years and, with the help of the town’s building and zoning department, Marathon had it renovated and ready for occupancy ahead of the proposed deadline for Christmas 2020.
