COURTESY OF TOWN OF NORWOOD
General Manager Tony Mazzucco recently announced that Planning and Economic Development Director Paul Halkiotis was recently recognized with a Public Service Award by the Neponset River Watershed Association.
Halkiotis has served as the Planning and Economic Development director in Norwood since 2014.
During his time with the town, he has led Norwood to become the first watershed town to complete the state's Municipal Vulnerability Planning process for climate adaptation and has helped plan park improvements for riverfront land in the environmental justice neighborhood of South Norwood. He has also worked to update local stormwater management rules to prevent polluted runoff and pursued the removal of an obsolete dam in order to prevent flooding and improve the habitat for native trout.
