Revere Mayor Patrick M. Keefe Jr. delivers State of the City Address
A year ago, I stood before you in this auditorium and outlined my plan to move our city forward guided by the principles of optimiism and unity aiming for progress that improves the everyday lives of folks like us who are fortunate enough to call Revere home.
Leading with this mindset meant we would address the complex decisions we make on aday-to-day basis with a positive attitude and confidence: I’m proud to say that PROGRESS is our result. Whether it means improving access to city services, replacing a sidewalk, building a school, or working together for the best interest of our city, progress results from consistent effort towards any greater good. Progress” results from attention to detail and hard work. “Progress” results from a careful appreciation of the risks we weigh and the advantages of the choices we make.“Progress” results from teamwork, as we aspire to our common goals by leaning into each team member’s personal skillset.
Tonight, I am happy to tell you what this progress looks like for our great City. We can start by looking at what we have achieved in our public schools. The most substantial project in the City’s history is the construction of a new Revere High School. We are nearing the completion of the design phase and now see the renderings of a modern four-story building and adjacent athletic fields. By August, we will have shovels in the ground, and this long-lived dream will become a reality for the students attending the very school I stand in tonight.
I maintain that a city’s schools are the greatest measure of a community’s reputation, and I am committed along with our City Council, our School Committee, our Superintendent, and all of Revere’s educators to build a new Revere High School that symbolizes BOTH the outstanding quality of our school system and the growth and vitality of our city.
