It was a pleasure to join Mayor Reardon, local elected officials, and members of the community for a ceremonial lighting ceremony marking the completion of significant improvements to Newburyport’s historic downtown.
The project included the installation of 18 new decorative light poles and toppers along the upper end of State Street, from Pleasant Street to Prospect and Harris Streets, improving both the beauty and safety of this historic area.
I was honored to present a citation recognizing the outstanding work behind this project, particularly City Electrician Jeff Matheson and the Department of Public Services, whose dedication and expertise helped bring these improvements to life.
Investments like this help preserve the character of downtown Newburyport while making it safer, more welcoming, and more vibrant for residents, businesses, and visitors.
Thank you to everyone who played a role in making this project a reality.
