Councilor-at-Large George Rotondo wants the city and Mayor Brian Arrigo to look into the feasibility of providing funding through a grant for an official city historian position.
“I think it would be great to illustrate where we were as a community, how we became, the struggles that we went through, and where we’re going,†said Rotondo. “We have a museum in the City of Revere and now an Art Commission. What better way to augment these particular institutions than with a city historian.â€
Councilor-at-Large Steven Morabito supported the proposal. “I believe a position such as a city historian is imperative to keep our history relevant,†said Morabito. “There’s much history about our city and so much for many to learn, including myself. I think a point person as a city historian would be great for preserving the history of the City of Revere. Kudos to my colleague for bringing up this motion.â€
The Council voted unanimously in favor of Rotondo’s motion.
