GARDNER - Robert Hubbard has played a major role in literally changing the landscape of the city.
Hubbard "has been instrumental in every large-scale endeavor the city has undertaken during that time frame." Such projects have included the development of the Summit Industrial Park, expansion of the East Gardner Industrial Park, the construction of the Levi Heywood Memorial Library and the purchase and redevelopment of the Greater Gardner Community Development Corporation's building.
Hubbard also contributed to the development of the recently opened Heywood Commons assisted living complex, the acquisition and renovation of the Senior Center, the development of urban renewal plans for downtown and the Mill Street corridor, as well as negotiating a pilot agreement to develop a ground solar array on city owned land off of West Street.

"There are families that have been fishing with us in the Middle Grounds for generations that are now deep-drop addicts, only waiting for these special trips to get offshore."
Hubbard - a former selectman and school committee member - has lived nearly all her life in the community with which she shares a name, the connection between the two words pretty much ends there.
Hubbard, whose maiden name is Marean, said a relative of her father moved to the area from Newton in 1768.
