Gloucester Council Inauguration
. “Build not for today alone, but for tomorrow, as well.”
These are the words etched on the walls of Gloucester’s City
Hall’s Kyrouz Auditorium.
On January 1st, I attended this year's inauguration of the
incoming officeholders of the City of Gloucester. The At-Large and Ward
Councilor members of the City Council, members of the School Committee, and
Mayor Greg Verga, City of Gloucester all were sworn in at the City Hall
Auditorium on January 1st, 2024 - the 401st year of Gloucester’s founding.
The act of taking the oath of office is an important event
that combines legal tradition, ceremony, and a public expression to serve. This
was marked by the important Keynote Address delivered by the Honorable Lt.
Governor Kim Driscoll as she congratulated and encouraged #TeamGloucester to
work together - united as one.
