Gloucester Health Department, Cape Ann Mass In Motion Announce Recreation Access Improvements Thanks to State Grant

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro
Public Health Director Mary Ellen Rose and Grant Coordinator Jennifer Donnelly are pleased to share that four communities have increased access to recreational areas for those with disabilities and mobility limitations, via a state grant.
The State Department of Public Health awarded the former Cape Ann Mass in Motion a $10,000 Community Health Inclusion Index (CHII) grant earlier this year. The grant funded a study of the population with mobility issues and physical challenges and areas access could be improved.
As a result of the survey, Cape Ann Mass In Motion’s member communities — Gloucester, Rockport, Essex, and Manchester-by-the-Sea — were able to use remaining grant funding:
  • The City of Gloucester Department of Public Works purchased a beach accessibility mat that will be installed at Good Harbor Beach in 2023, supplementing the state grant with city funding.
  • The Town of Rockport is purchasing benches that will be placed along a downtown walking route in the area of Broadway and the Rockport Senior Center.
  • The Town of Essex added accessible drinking fountains as part of improvements made at Memorial Park.
  • The Town of Manchester-by-the-Sea purchased a beach wheelchair, combining town money with grant funds.
“I would like to thank all those who contributed to our survey, and I would especially like to thank Clare Taber, who was instrumental in assisting the City of Gloucester with acquiring a Mobi-Mat beach accessibility mat for Good Harbor Beach,” said Donnelly. “These improvements will help to provide more equitable access to some of our wonderful outdoor spaces for recreation here on Cape Ann.”

Another reason to use local contractors

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Last week our 17-year dishwasher started to leak, and we had to get a new one.  We went to Doyon’s and as usual they were extremely helpful, their pricing matched the big, boxed stores.  We needed to hire a plumber to do the install and another local contractor recommended Mahoney Heating and Plumbing.  The dishwasher was delivered on time and the Gregory Mahoney came also right on time.  Mahoney Plumbing was efficient and reasonable.

The Blue Marlin Grille warm pretzels. I met a couple of friends for a precious hour in between all of the obligations we each had one night last week. Pumpkin beer and some yummy warm pretzels did the trick.
