In a WGAW Hotline Radio segment serving also as the Mayor’s Weekly Update for December 15, 2023, Gardner Mayor Nicholson speaks of getting a last minute invitation to fly to Washington to meet privately with the President at the White House last week. Update: The private meeting also included 20-30 officials from around the U.S. to discuss local issues. We’ll provide details of this meeting as they become available. Nicholson did say “An invitation from the President himself, that’s very cool…I’m proud of what Gardner has accomplished and to get that attention.” The Mayor was asked a number of questions by Hotline Host Steve Wendell.

Nicholson spoke of the Horse Drawn Carriage Rides in Downtown coming up on December 21st with a 2 seater and a 12 seat carriage available. Rides are FREE.
The Mayor did speak about the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget and how he wants to submit it with more detail, modeled after how Amesbury does it. The Mayor has also asked Department Heads to give him another figure which takes off 3% from non-salary items, goal being perhaps to find funds to increase salaries to make Gardner more marketable. A salary study is still underway.
