Lewiston Mayor Robert Macdonald, sworn into office Monday, said the city needs to buff up its image, fix housing issues, complete re-creating the city’s riverfront and boost its economy, the Sun Journal reported.
Macdonald returned to his theme from his 2012 and 2014 inaugurations. In 2012, he said Lewiston was finished with its downtrodden image. In 2014, he said Lewiston’s transformation was under way but incomplete.
Monday, he said the work continues.
“We must now talk — even shout — about what Lewiston has to offer,” he said.
Macdonald pledged to continue the city’s program of tearing down and demolishing the worst downtown apartments, but promised city assistance for properties that can be saved.
This is Macdonald’s third and final term as mayor.
