Friend
It’s been quite a start to 2023 in Medford and even though
it’s January, things are heating up.
This past
Wednesday evening I delivered my State of the City address and gave an
update on our progress, spoke about new opportunities on the horizon,
and outlined my vision for 2023.
There’s so many
amazing things happening here and it’s because of your support we’re
able to build a new beginning for Medford.
If you
missed the program you can watch the entire event here: State
of the City 2023.
But if you just want the highlights of my
speech:
➡ Bring smart, transit oriented, mixed-use
development to the air rights above Wellington
Station
➡ 3 40B developments are being negotiated,
including one on Mystic Avenue, which may be a $1 billion life science
complex equipped with open space and first floor
retail.
➡ Over $3.5 million investment in new
projects and upgrades at our fire stations, with an OPM on board. We
are working diligently to secure an architect to design a new Fire
Headquarters for a future 20 plus million dollar
investment.
➡ Allocating ARPA funding to support
additional affordable housing projects.
➡
Expansion of Blue Bike stations at Hormel Stadium, Harris Park and
Spring St & Myrtle. With tentative plans to add stations at
Riverbend Park, Haines Square, West Medford and the
Hillside.
➡ Expanding our public EV charging
network with new stations at Missituk School and Tufts
Park.
➡ Secured over $5 million in grant funding
to improve and renovate many of our parks.
And so
much more!
We’re building something here and I
know I can count on you to help us continue our vision for a better
future for Medford.
I promise to continue to do the hard things. I promise to build on
the foundation of transparency, accountability, advocacy, and equity
to make sure that the needs of our city, our families, and our
neighbors continue to be heard, met, and supported.
With gratitude,
Breanna
