Room 50 Gets The Nod - “It’s Official”

by Jack at 4:20 pm.

Good news!

From Jen Myers:

I’m happy to announce that Room50 is now officially an “official” city blog (which means I can write it during the work day).

One of Mayor Murphy’s goals since becoming Mayor has been to make the office more open and welcoming to all Lowellians regardless of age, class, or ethnic background, as well as to improve communication between City Hall and residents of the community.

The mission of this site, the official blog of the Office of the Mayor, is to tell some of the “untold” stories of the city, as well as to engage all residents to let them know their civic participation is welcomed and crucial to the continued growth of the city.

Yes, it will be refreshing to be able to read .. good news.
