Mayor Joshua A. Garcia has initiated a series of out-of-the-office, “Meet the Mayor” gatherings in different parts of the city. The first will be held at the Holyoke Senior Center at 291 Pine Street at 2 p.m. on Friday, September 8.
Subsequent “Meet the Mayor” dates and locations are Friday, September 15, at 3 p.m. at El Mercado, 413 Main Street, and Friday, September 22, at 10 a.m. at the Holyoke Public Library.
“We always want to hear from the citizens of Holyoke,” Garcia said, “and face-to-face is the best way.”
“We want to know what their concerns are, and we’d like to give them updates from City Hall about what we’re working on and what they can expect from their city government.”
Each “Meet the Mayor” will start with a brief opening statement from Mayor Garcia, after which he will take questions from those present. The sessions will last one hour.
