I4C2 Ribbon Cutting and Cape Ann Farmer’s Market Opening Ceremony June 24th

From CK-

Everyone is welcome to join in as we celebrate the first productive use of I4C2 in decades! 

We will be joined by state officials who helped make it happen, and of course Gloucester City Councilors who were instrumental throughout the public debate and approval process. 

Please pass along to your friends and especially any volunteers that you know of who dropped off plants, raked for a while, or just generally are excited to see positive movement on the waterfront. 

Thank you.

Mayor Carolyn Kirk

Met Governor Patrick Today

Everyone should be very proud of our Mayor who brought Governor Patrick down to meet with folks from around town.

She lobbied well with quick and effective bullet points about what some of the challenges we have here.  Governor Patrick seemed genuinely receptive to working with us toward responsible solutions.

I spoke to him for a while about the changes in the way fish is handled now and how we can increase space for fishermen and recreational dockage.  We also spoke about the permitting challenges that property owners face on the waterfront.

It was inspiring to see how well Mayor Kirk presented and pushed for our city and didn’t just sit back.  She took a proactive approach in getting him here and he was more than willing to come and listen.  It looks like they have each other’s ear and that’s always a good thing.

Props to the Mayor, and Props to the Governor.
