The decision on the location for a new North Shore DMV registry branch remains undecided. There are service centers on the other peninsula, Cape Cod. Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard host full DMV service centers as do towns with smaller populations, like Greenfield and North Adams. There isn’t a uniform state model.
The day after the GMG post musing What about a DMV branch at Gloucester Crossing?, Paul Leighton wrote an article in yesterday’s Gloucester Daily Times “Legislators urge decision on new site for Registry” Thursday February 2, 2017 with more info.
According to the article: “Six property owners submitted bids in October. A spokesman for the Division of Capital Asset Management & Maintenance, which oversees state leasing, said those bids are still being reviewed…In addition to Speliotis, local legislators who signed the letter to the state included state Sen. Joan Lovely of Salem and state Reps. Paul Tucker of Salem, Tom Walsh of Peabody, Jerry Parisella of Beverly, Lori Ehrlich of Marblehead and Brad Hill of Ipswich, who represents Manchester.”
Leighton’s prior Gloucester Daily Times article about the DMV branch location “Registry considers Peabody, Beverly sites for new branch” was published July 21, 2016.

I wrote to Representative Ann-Margaret Ferrante last August about the issue of the North Shore needing an RMV office and was disappointed not to receive a response. Thank you for keeping this issue on the public’s radar. It seems our neighbors to the south of us are taking the lead on this.

Thanks for writing. I bet they’ll respond. I really like our representatives. I hope MA Dot weighs in too. The article mentions that proposals are under consideration, not settled.
