Did You Miss the Mayor's State of the City Address?

Mayor Setti D. Warren presented the “State of the City” address on March 16.

If you missed it, you can find it on the City of Newton website.

Here’s the start:

“James FC Hyde was elected Newton’s first Mayor in 1873. Mayor Hyde’s bold vision laid the foundation for the City we love today. He believed in making investments in education, infrastructure, and transportation. His administration upgraded streetlights, expanded space for a school building, and accepted the transfer of the Newton Free Library to the City. According to Historic Newton,

Mayor Hyde conceived an idea that resulted in tracks running through Newton from Chestnut Hill to Upper Falls and laid new tracks from Newton Highlands to meet its own existing commuter line at Riverside. Making travel possible between all Newton’s suburban villages triggered a period of unprecedented residential development that lasted until World War I.”
