City of Newburyport – Mayor Sean Reardon and the City of Newburyport invite residents and community stakeholders to a community presentation on plans for the new Newburyport Rec Center. The meeting will be held on Thursday, Jan. 18, at 6:30 p.m., in City Hall Auditorium. The Recreation and Youth Services Department (formerly NYS) has needed a new home since the heating
system at the former Brown School became unusable in 2021. The City purchased the former National Guard building site at 59 Low St. in 2022 as a potential site.
City officials will share conceptual plans developed by EGA, PC Architects of Newburyport. Ample time will be allotted for questions and answers. “We are excited to share with the community the latest designs, stemming from months of careful consideration of program needs, site constraints, budget considerations and support for our youth and Newburyport residents,” Mayor Reardon said. “Please join us to hear about the project and see a 3D walkthrough of the proposed space.”

Residents who suffered property damage as a result of the storm are asked to email mayor@cityofnewburyport.com with contact information, and a brief description of the damage. MEMA will contact affected residents for more information, and consider whether state assistance will be available.
On Saturday, Newburyport first responders and their mutual aid partners handles a number of weather-related emergencies, including two electrical fires, a cardiac arrest, and stranded motorists, as well as checking on senior residents and ensuring residents had basic needs. Mayor Reardon will meet with the Emergency Management Team — Chief Bradbury, City Marshall Mark Murray, Department of Public Services Director Wayne Amaral, and Harbormaster Paul Hogg — in the coming weeks to discuss public communications and how to best convey information before, during, and after weather-related events as quickly as possible.
Essex Tech – What a great night celebrating the life and work of MLK. Great job Mara! She did an amazing job singing with the Boston Children’s Choir at Symphony Hall! We even got to see 2023 grad Jaylene before she went back to college from winter break.
