to halt razing of the Wamsutta
Mills...FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mayoral candidate Matt Morrissey
today called on Mayor Kalisz to halt
the razing of the Wamsutta Mills
until the Historical Commission,
City Council and neighbors have a
chance to review the idea.
“Today’s news that the city has
approved the demolition of the
Wamsutta Mills without any serious
input from the people who will be
most affected by it,’’ Morrissey
said. “This is just the latest in a
string of back room deals designed
to shut citizens out of decisions
that will have enormous long-term
economic and social impacts on our
community. We need a City Hall with
no back rooms and we deserve a mayor
who will consider the concerns of
real citizens rather than just the
privileged few. Before we consider
tearing down any potentially
historic structure we need to
seriously consider the impact on the
community.”
