Motion presented by Councillor McKenna: That the Mayor appear before the Revere City Council to discuss the status of the Beachmont Community Center, formerly known as the Beachmont Fire Station. The City had been in a partnership with the MAPC to renovate the former Beachmont Fire Station into a public/performing arts space, but the status of the project is unclear. The Mayor has recently notified the MAPC the City would be unable to move forward with this project, and this notification from the Mayor to the MAPC follows a direct and verbal threat made by the Mayor to the Ward One Councilor to cancel this project after a Council vote on another matter at the meeting of Monday, February 27th.
