NEWRA Extends Terms of Officers

Under the current COVID-19 conditions, the North End/Waterfront Residents’ Association (NEWRA) made the right decision not to have 2022 election of officers delayed, and extending the terms of the current offices until 2022.

NEWRA is not a community elected board, so they can adapt their by-laws at any annual membership meeting.

Changing the rules under these conditions is acceptable.

Re-Naming Columbus Park

Eventually, Christopher Columbus Park on Atlantic Avenue will be renamed. It may occur sooner than expected.

Re-naming the park has to be accomplished by local residents and neighborhood organizations but, someone or some agencies need to take the lead on this issue.

One of the proposed name changes appears to be “Italian American Heritage Park” but that’s not conclusive.

It has been said that the renaming issue was on hold until after the mayoral election.
