MBC Breakfast with Mayor Curtatone
Recently HP attended a Massachusetts Building Congress (MBC) breakfast to hear Somerville Mayor Joseph Curtatone, now in his sixth term, deliver an update on the Union Square project and the Green Line extension and his vision
Mayor Joseph Curtatone with MBC Secretary, Matthew Guarracino, of JM Electrical.>
for the economic development of Somerville.
Obvious to anyone in the room, the mayor has a passion for his work. Under his leadership, the Somerville Public Schools have seen extraordinary MCAS growth scores, the City is undertaking some of the most anticipated transit-oriented development projects in the region, and a transformation of the city’s pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure has earned the City status as one of the most walkable and bikeable cities in the nation.
– On December 5 MBC will host festivities and celebrate the season, induct new officers, and award the MBC annual scholarships at its Holiday Gala. Attendees will enjoy seasonal entertainment, elegant buffet dinner, and the best view of the city from UMass Club, One Beacon Street, 32nd Floor, Boston.
