Mayor Nicholson discussed what’s upcoming in 2025. Upcoming projects include Revitalization Projects at the Greenwood Pool area, Rome Square, and work in the Downtown. The Mayor is working on revamping policies and procedures, something he has been working on all year after having announced it during his Inaugural Address in January 2024. Nicholson is also working on revamping some antiquated ordinances and discussed some of them in our interview.
Mayor Nicholson discussed interactions with the Mass Municipal Association, his membership on the local government advisory commission and his involvement in transportation issues. The South Main Street Bridge situation is still a Federal issue with the railroads still subject to an order limiting railroad crossings.
Nicholson says he’s always looking for feedback “on what we have going on”.
