Mayor Greg Verga is proud to announce the award of $100,000 to Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute (GMGI), one of eight community organizations receiving Covid Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, to support the buildout of new office space for teachers and support staff.

The City of Gloucester was awarded $23 million under the American Rescue Plan Act’s local funding provisions and has been distributing these funds to several sectors within the community. Mayor Verga recently announced the appropriation of $870,170 of Covid Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, also known as ARPA funds, to be distributed to eight community organizations. This funding will be used to support their critical missions within our community and to aid in their work to assist in the City’s recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

“Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute has leveraged our community’s unique location and potential to create opportunities for our young adults through their innovative Gloucester Biotechnology Academy,” said Mayor Greg Verga. “I am thrilled that we have been able to offer support to GMGI for the expansion of their space to allow their administrative staff and instructors the room to grow and thrive.  I look forward to seeing all that they will continue to do in our great City.”

After substantial public input and a careful application process, GMGI was awarded funds to support the addition of new office space that provides Gloucester Biotechnology Academy instructors and administrative staff with 2,800 sq. ft. of shared and individual offices as well as private breakout rooms. 

“The recent success of the Academy has provided tremendous outcomes for our students but has also required an expansion across all areas of our program,” said Chris Bolzan, GMGI’s Executive Director. “This generous support from the city allows our team to do their jobs with professionalism, efficiency, and confidentiality, all the while catalyzing the local economy through the use of local contractors and providing career development for Gloucester’s young adults.”

In addition to this nearly $900,000 for community organizations, Mayor Verga has also strategically allocated $13 million to support critical infrastructure upgrades, $1.5 million to the City of Gloucester’s Affordable Housing Trust, and $1.5 million to fund several economic development initiatives.

I broke down some Skin on bone in chicken thighs (my favorite part of the bird to eat) to see how much it costs if you just use the meat. You could use the bones and skin for stock and other things but for this purpose I’m just concentrating on the meat.

I’m not gonna go crazy trying to get every last scrap of meat off the bones, just a simple cutting out of the bone and taking off the skin. Speed, not yield.

First off, the tag-

4.41 lbs @ $1.29/lb= $5.69

$5.69 divided by 2.22 lbs of meat yield=$2.56 per lb of meat.

Much cheaper than boneless skinless thighs or breasts purchased.

Hello Joey! Hope you’re February has been great so far! I just wanted to send you this info on our band’s upcoming show in early March on FRI 3/8.

Our sets are a mix of originals & covers & I’ve linked a video sample of clips from the 1/19 show here: https://youtu.be/T1rmRFD2PLo?si=OUqx2O_HXsWPVmoh. I also attached the official show poster advertisement as well, please use both however you’d like! Thanks so much for your time and cheers! -Bill 

Mayor Greg Verga and Fire Chief Eric Smith are pleased to report that four new firefighters have been sworn in to the Gloucester Fire Department and will begin the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy after going through local training and orientation.
