I was really excited to see this move forward in the Council Chambers. It should be noted that Russell Barnaby comes from Boston. I&#039;m thrilled that folks are seeing Fitchburg as a good investment opportunity. I got to talk to Russell the next day, and he is so excited about doing this project in Fitchburg. Mayor Wong is the reason why Fitchburg is having a resurgence of development, of new business opening. Again, it goes to show that good leadership makes for a vibrant, wonderful economy. Three years ago, when our School Committee deaccessioned the building back to the city, I spoke about my hopes that an interested party or parties would rescue it from inactivity. Mayor Wong works to bring business here -- and this is a great, visible example.
