PROGRESS

Recent months have been busy!
Here’s where we are with the IMC…

• The Foundation has signed a 99-year lease with the town of Hopkinton for a 19-acre site on Route 135 – on the Boston Marathon course, less than a mile from the starting line – on which to develop the IMC.

• We are working with GRL Architects, of Hopkinton, MA, drawing up plans for the state-of-the-art, 25,000-square-foot facility that will include a world-class museum and hall of fame, 11,000 square feet of dedicated exhibit space, an auditorium, library, and conference and educational space.

• We have collaborated with HealyKohler Design of Washington, D.C., to design a world-class, interactive visitor experience, intended to maximize repeat visitation and sustainability.

• We are working with Elevativ, from Boston, MA, whose team is now completing a comprehensive market and economic study of the project’s future operating potential and potential project’s impact on local and regional towns and cities.

• We are completing site due-diligence and permitting, with the work being led by the Southborough, MA-based engineering firm, Beals + Thomas.
