Brace Cove’s Community Grants Available For Non-Profits

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hello Joey,

As you continue to report on everything-Gloucester, please consider telling your readers about Brace Cove’s Community Grants. See: www.bracecove.org

Brace Cove Community Grants are in the amount of $500 to $1000 and intended for projects to enrich our community. We make these grants easily accessible to nonprofits by eliminating a formal application process and responding quickly to project ideas. Examples include Amy Kerr’s “I am More” project and Seaside Sustainability’s seaside clean-up efforts.

I hope you’ll share this information with your readers.

Thank you!

Lianna, Nancy & Walter

In Case You’ve Forgotten How Wonderful the Beauport Hotel Is

Posted on by Nichole S.

In case you need a reminder of how amazing the Beauport Hotel is, I stayed there the other night with several friends as we helped welcome Loran Caputo as the Greater Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce 2023 President.

Everything from the lobby, to the dining room, BOTH bars, and certainly the gorgeous guest rooms are simply perfect.

Even if you are not spending the night, make a point to visit and take a walk to appreciate the decor and the artwork. There are so many special nautical touches and pieces/photos that truly reflect Gloucester’s fishing industry. It’s where the working waterfront meets a bit of luxury. The best of both worlds.

Jumping On The Seal Bandwagon

Posted on by Pat D

The boys are back in town! The Brace Cove seals were on full display on a recent sunny morning. It’s been a while since I’ve seen so many hanging out there. Our friend Donna recently posted her seal photos so I am jumping on that bandwagon since they are too wonderful not to share some more. Further story details and photos are available at Pat D’s Photos and Adventures on Facebook, so check it out if you are interested.

Here are a few updates and highlights from the Mayor’s office and City Hall this week:

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Here are a few updates and highlights from the Mayor’s office and City Hall this week:

➡️ MassDevelopment’s Northeast team presented an overview of MassDevelopment programs to local officials from neighboring Cape Ann communities at Gloucester City Hall this week. The presentation included information on their traditional lending services, Brownfield financing, Collaborative Workspace Programs, and Real Estate services. It was an excellent opportunity to collaborate and connect with local leaders from neighboring communities.

➡️ The Action Plan for MBTA Communities form has been submitted to the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development to put the City into temporary compliance with State law. The Action Plan includes a high-level timeline for the City’s Comprehensive Planning Initiative and general next steps in the process. To view the submitted Action Plan and for the most up-to-date and accurate information regarding the State Mandated Zoning, please visit: https://bit.ly/401W0Ct

➡️ Fourteen projects were approved for funding from the Community Preservation Fund this week. These include historical, community housing, open space, and recreation projects – totaling over $1 million in funding support. After a thoughtful and rigorous process, the Community Preservation Committee recommended these meaningful projects for funding.
