Salem Mayor Dominick Pangallo – There will be an increase in trains to #SalemMA in October, as well as passenger capacity on our ferry to & from Boston. Take the train, take the ferry, come by bike, or come by broom– but leave your car at home. You’ll have a much more enjoyable visit!”

Sen. Bruce Tarr – Gold Star Mothers and Family Day – a day of recognition of the sacrifices made by those who have paid the ultimate price and the burden the families are left behind to carry.

Salem Mayor Dominick Pangallo – Moved by this morning’s HAWC benefit. #SalemMA provided #ARPA funds to support capital improvements at their shelter for those escaping domestic abuse & brought HAWC specialists to City Hall to train City staff on how we can identify & help those in need. hawcdv.org

City of Peabody – As part of downtown Peabody’s parking infrastructure upgrades, the Mill Street municipal parking lot will be under construction during the weeks of October 2nd and October 9th. The lot is expected to remain open during this period, however, any changes will be posted.

Salem Mayor Dominick Pangallo – We averaged about 80,000 to 82,000 people every Saturday [in October] last year,” #SalemMA Mayor Dominick Pangallo said. “We don’t have the capacity for parking for that many people, so we rely on the MBTA and Keolis. We rely on the Ferry.”
