Hallowell mayor highlights Water Street reconstruction
In his inaugural address, Hallowell Mayor Mark Walker presented a list of “Top 10” goals and issues for the city, including the need to have downtown buildings inspected for fire risks in light of recent serious fires in towns like Gardiner, the Kennebec Journal reported.
Walker also said Monday the city plans to seek a permanent solution to what he called a “decades-long parking problem,” including increasing the number of permanent spots downtown.
The top three items were the future of fire department, the Stevens School campus and the Water Street reconstruction project.
“I’m optimistic and have a very positive outlook,” Walker said of the city’s future. “I quote Socrates from 2,000 years ago that ‘the secret to change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting [for] the old, but on building the new.”
