Last minute change of City Council Meeting location

Late Press Release from Council President Jackie Hardy


The City Council meeting of Tue., Sept 10 will be Relocated from the Lanesville Community Center to the Kyrouz Auditorium at 7pm. 


LCC members,

It is with deep regret that I notify you that tomorrow’s City Council meeting is being relocated from the Lanesville Community Center (LCC)  to the Kyrouz Auditorium at City Hall at 7pm for a myriad of reasons: the size of the anticipated crowd, inability of councillors to connect via wifi to documents they will need, and lack of a speaker system that connects to assistive listening devices as in accordance with 521.CMR. 14.5.

Many thanks to the LCC for inviting us into Lanesville so that we could begin to reach out to the many neighborhoods in this beautiful city.

Respectfully,

Jackie Hardy

Council President

  1. This is an important meeting about the up coming ballot question in November. Lots of misinformation around and the emotional Fuller School use is being merged with the complicated questions of having a “Downtown campus for City Government vs. City Offices moved out of City Hall altogether”.
    The idea of City Hall being abandoned and shuttered would be devastating to the Gloucester downtown vitality and economy . Make no mistake , this so called non binding referendum in November ,with wording crafted to affect the outcome , aims at the the abandonment of our beloved City Hall.

  2. Good call, Having it that far away from one of the agendas main topics “Cape Pond Ice” shouldn’t really matter however it was lending itself to fuel the conspiracy theorist idea that the whole city is corrupt and having it there was only to keep people away.
