This week we finalized the paperwork on the &33.8M port improvement grant from @usdot.bsky.social for #SalemMA’s deepwater port project. So glad I had the opportunity to personally thank Secretary Buttigieg at the Mayors Innovation Project meeting for the funding and for all his support for cities.

Happy Dominican Republic Independence Day!
More than 1 in 10 of #SalemMA’s residents are Dominican and their presence has made our community brighter, stronger, and more vibrant. Today we celebrate their history and their culture. Thanks to the DR Flag Committee for making the celebration happen!

Our rule of law and due process was formed in the crucible of #SalemMA’s own tragic history over three hundred years ago.
That’s why in Salem we’ll always choose community over chaos, and we’ll always choose compassion over cruelty. Because we know full well what will befall otherwise.

Today we gathered at City Hall for #SalemMA’s first celebration of Haitian Flag Day!
The history of the Haitian people is one of resilience and liberty, and - for our Haitian residents here in Salem - their presence makes our community, our Commonwealth, and our own country stronger.

A walkable city is a safe city.
Last year we launched the Safe Sidewalks project - a multi-year initiative to zero out #SalemMA’s list of sidewalk repair requests. With the return of warmer weather, crews are back at it, tackling more locations to ensure a safer, more accessible community for all.
