Discovery Day & More...

5/24/2019

 
Picture
Tomorrow is Discovery Day in Lexington, and we are closing down Massachusetts Avenue to enhance the festivities as we celebrate one of the most fun and dynamic days of the year in town! Throw on some sunscreen and stop by my booth just outside Depot Square on Mass Ave to discuss current topics at the State House, meet my Legislative Aide, get help with state agencies, or just say hi.  We will be there all day!

Grand Opening of the Woburn Community Corrections Center
I was pleased to celebrate the opening of the Woburn Community Corrections Center this week. The new facility is criminal justice reform in action--no longer will community corrections offices only be available to clients at the time of probation, but they will now have access to them at the time of their arraignment. This means we are getting people the treatment they need to get back on their feet much faster. This new model and facility serve to reduce recidivism, foster reintegration, and address the escalating opioid epidemic.

A number of my colleagues joined me at the event, including Director of the Massachusetts Probation Service Vin Lorenti, Representative Rich Haggerty, Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Ralph Gants, and Commissioner of the Massachusetts Probation Service Edward Dolan.

Middlesex 3 Coalition
Picture
​The Middlesex 3 Coalition (M3) is a regional partnership of nine Middlesex County communities, including Bedford, Billerica, Burlington, Carlisle, Chelmsford, Lexington, Lowell, Tewksbury, Tyngsborough and Westford, operating with the support of the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development. M3's mission is to foster economic growth within the Commonwealth, creating jobs and enhancing the overall quality of life in Massachusetts
​On Tuesday, I had the opportunity to present a citation and Economic Development Impact Award to Peter Milano, Regional Senior Director of the Massachusetts Office of Budget Development, at M3's annual meeting. Like Peter and other M3 members, I am committed to improving transportation services, enhancing our region, and fostering workforce development here in Massachusetts. With over 25 years in government, I know how critical it is to connect the workforce with available jobs. 
 
Also this week, I also stopped by Middlesex Community College to participate in a forum on Economic Development Planning for the Commonwealth. As the Baker Administration's Economic Devel-opment Planning Council compiles its strategic plan and solicits public input, I encourage you to make your voice heard and contribute your ideas HERE.
