Mayor Sarno read a proclamation declaring the month of November as 'Puerto Rican Heritage Month' in the City of Springfield.
Mayor Sarno states, “It is important that we continue to honor and recognize our City’s Puerto Rican Heritage and the positive contributions and impact from our Puerto Rican community. Springfield is proud of our diversity, especially our Puerto Rican community, and all of the many contributions upon our social, cultural, economic and military service to our city, state and country. When the island of Puerto Rico was hit with natural disasters, such as hurricane Maria, we collectively rallied together to provide relief and to welcome our fellow Americans that were displaced.”
