AA+ OUTLOOK FOR FITCHBURG!
S&P just gave @fitchburgmass.bsky.social the strongest bond rating outlook in over a decade… a huge vote of confidence in our fiscal management.
Stronger outlook = lower borrowing costs = more $$ for roads, schools, public safety—without raising taxes.

💪 Major respect to our DPW team. Their knowledge of our streets, trucks, and operations is unmatched. Seeing it firsthand helps me explain the work, answer questions, and advocate for resources & grant funding to improve our equipment and systems.

🚜 Thank you all for your hard work!

🔹 Final Run: Plowed around Will Thompson Way & surrounding streets before I wrapped up at 9 AM—4 hours for me, 12+ for these guys.

🔹 6:30 AM: Saw our trackless sidewalk plow clearing Broad St & Mechanic St sidewalks. 💙

🔹 7:00 AM: Stopped at dispatch for coffee & checked out the new tracking system—this lets us match service calls with available equipment & monitor plow locations/issues.

🔹 Snow Ops Updates:
✅ Route Adjustments – Dedicated teams for dead ends & main lines to optimize efficiency.
✅ More Salt – We secured extra deliveries despite regional shortages.
✅ Real-Time Tracking – New system lets us see plow locations, stops & ops in real-time for better response & efficiency.

Attended the annual conference for elected officials across the state, Connect 351, and let me tell you—this event is like the Super Bowl for municipal nerds like me! 🏙️👩‍💼👨‍💼 Connected with my fellow mayors, elected officials, and municipal leaders from across the state.
