New Geothermal Project at Essex North Shore Agricultural and Technical School







It was a pleasure to join students, educators, and local leaders at the Essex North Shore Agricultural & Technical School for the recent ribbon cutting of their new geothermal project — a major step forward in energy efficiency and environmental stewardship.

This state-of-the-art system replaces outdated gas-fired boilers with clean, renewable geothermal technology, improving ventilation, air quality, and long-term sustainability across the campus.

I was honored to present an official joint citation from the Massachusetts State Senate, on behalf of myself and Senator Joan B. Lovely, recognizing Essex Tech’s leadership in embracing innovation and preparing the next generation to meet our energy and climate challenges.

Congratulations to Superintendent Riccio, the Essex Tech community, and all who made this transformative project a success!
