Other city officials present for the neighborhood walk included City Forester Alex Sherman, Principal Planner Alvin Allen, City Engineers Vladimir Caceres and Peter Shumway, Project Manager Marcos Gonzalez, Program Manager Will Brock and Communications Director William Baker.
Mayor Sarno stated, “Our neighborhoods are the lifeline of our city, providing much needed services, outreach and insight to the specific needs of our residents and business community. I want to thank the South End Citizens Council (SECC), especially SECC President Leo Florian and Shane Milette for taking time to meet and walk the neighborhood with my dedicated city and I. The creation of the ARPA Neighborhood Economic Recovery Fund comes as a direct result from my community and neighborhood council meetings that I held last year. In total we met with over 30 neighborhood councils and organizations to hear their ideas on how we can work together to enhance our neighborhoods for the betterment of our residents and business community.”
