Letter: Macksey Is the Experienced Leader North Adams Needs
 |
To the Editor:
During this election season, it's important to reflect on the challenges faced both locally and beyond. Municipalities across the state are in need of much to sustain — increased affordable housing, repairs to infrastructure and ADA compliance; the creation, recruitment, or growth of businesses; increased tourism; and so much more. We need a leader who has years of municipal experience, dedication to the City of North Adams, and will unite us.
That experienced leader is Jennifer Macksey.
North Adams may be a small city by population, but it is clearly remarkably spirited. While all residents may not share the same views, it's important to recognize that we share a common vision: respecting the city as it currently stands, while remaining inspired and motivated for improvements to come. Mayor Macksey has the experience and understanding to continue moving our city forward.
Among her accomplishments as mayor, she has ensured grant funding for a host of projects, including crucial repair or replacement of sidewalks and other citywide projects ensuring ADA compliance. As a community oriented leader, Jennifer Macksey has also worked to bring engaging events and celebrations for all ages to our down street — this is in addition to the successfully established and well-loved North Adams Recreation Center. Mayor Macksey has also been exploring alternatives to the current digital network as reliable and affordable internet access is essential for our community.
I personally know Mayor Macksey: she is kind and cordial by nature. She cares about North Adams, and puts in the time and effort to prove it. You will always see her at sporting events, down street festivities, and community gatherings. Mayor Macksey is the experienced candidate we need in the corner office. I encourage you to cast your vote for Jennifer Macksey as continued mayor of North Adams.
