The submission period for ARPA Project Proposals for Phase 2 has now ended and we are currently in the review process.

The Mayor's Office will be hosting an ARPA Project Proposal Community Meeting on Wednesday, November 9th at 6pm in the Lynn Auditorium for residents to share their input on the second phase of project funding and investments for the City of Lynn.

Our Hispanic/Latino Heritage Month Flag Raising event was a success and we are so thankful to everyone who joined us. I want to congratulate the Latino leaders again who were recognized for their contributions to the community—your work does not go unnoticed and the City is so lucky to have you.

It is always an honor to celebrate the innumerable contributions and impacts the Hispanic/Latino community has across the country and especially here in the City of Lynn.

The City of Lynn recognizes the second Monday of October to be Indigenous Peoples’ Day and celebrates and honors Indigenous heritage, history, impact upon our nation, and all Indigenous people who call Lynn and the state of Massachusetts their home.

The City had an amazing turnout at the Italian flag-raising, where we honored the legacy and heritage of the Italian community and celebrated the commencement of Italian-American Heritage and Culture Month!

We celebrated a momentous effort with Catholic Charities and Phoenix Food Hub as they held a grand opening for their new food pantry!

This is tremendous for our community as we continue to tackle food insecurity and health disparities, as well as expand food access.

Phoenix Food Hub will provide great resources that are essential to our residents, such as a testing kitchen, food delivery programs, food storage, nutritionists, dietitians, and much more. This new food pantry is a key aspect of the whole food hub.

Thank you to the leadership and collaboration of Catholic Charities and Phoenix Food Project! To learn more, visit

The month of October is recognized annually as Housing America Month. Throughout this month, and every month, we acknowledge the critical role affordable housing plays across the nation, along with the organizations and agencies that provide affordable housing programs. It is essential that affordable housing—here and beyond—is committed to, in order to build and sustain inclusive communities.

We appreciate and commend the work that Lynn Housing Authority & Neighborhood Development (LHAND) does in our community to provide safe and accessible housing.

The rain didn’t stop us from celebrating the expansion of the Northern Strand and having Lynn added to the shared-use path. This initiative will contribute to our goals of increasing connectivity and accessibility to transportation and open, green space throughout the City and beyond.

Thank you to our city and state leaders that worked tirelessly on this project.

I joined the Lynn State Delegation to view the newest bilingual sign installation at King’s Beach.

Many thanks to Save the Harbor/Save the Bay and DCR for their collaboration on creating a sign that is both educational and informative; establishing the safety concerns of the beach and when residents should avoid swimming activities.

It was an honor to speak at the Spotlight on Early College event hosted by the Massachusetts Alliance for Early College (MA4EC). Supporting higher education opportunities and expanding our early college programs has been a longstanding goal for both LPS and my administration.

We have achieved so much in Lynn with regard to early college, such as continuing to grow our program and launching our new Early College High School at the North Shore Community College. Focusing on providing accessible and equitable opportunities for our students provides a positive shift in the educational experience, which puts them on a path of success and achievement.
