Marlborough and Sudbury Join Forces for Veterans

The city of Marlborough will be joining forces with the town of Sudbury with a joint Veterans Agent.

Marlborough and Sudbury officials have voted to share one Veterans Agent between the two communities.

The agreement — which the council voted through on Monday and Sudbury Selectmen voted through on Tuesday — creates a new Marlborough-Sudbury Regional Veterans District. It also makes the Marlborough Veterans Agent the Director of services for the district.

Marlborough's current Veterans Agent will remain an employee of the city while Sudbury pays the city $10,000 a year for the services and provides an administration assistant. The agreement will run through June 30, 2014.
