The Marlborough Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) will host 13 focus groups next week as part of its strategy to solicit input for its Economic Development Master Plan from Marlborough residents, business owners and workers.

During the focus group sessions, consultants will make a presentation and then lead a participant discussion of key community issues, according to a statement. It is expected that up to 200 people who live and/or work in Marlborough will have had the opportunity to give direct input to the consultants.

The focus groups will be held at the Massachusetts International Academy at 280 Locke Drive on April 13 and April 14.
