After a one-year hiatus due to the coronavirus, the Haverhill Art Walk series comes back beginning Saturday, May 8.
The first Art Walk took place during September of 2019 and brought various exhibitions, demonstrations and performances to downtown Haverhill. Invited by City Councilor Timothy J. Jordan, Hailey Moschella, this year’s coordinator, told councilors Tuesday night the walk is expanding.
“It’s an indoor and outdoor event that will take place on the second Saturday of the month, May through September. So, we’re increasing it from a one-time event to monthly. After Art Walk in 2019, we spoke to the business owners who participated. They all experienced an increase in foot traffic during Art Walk hours and supported bringing the event back to Haverhill,” she said.

The public has opportunities to shape policy this week as various Haverhill boards meet. In the interest of transparency in government, WHAV provides this list of upcoming meetings every week.
The Haverhill City Council hears a proposal tonight to permit 18 two-bedroom condominium homes and relocate an existing single-family home off Boston Road.
Boston Haverhill’s plan for six tri-plex buildings was originally planned to be heard last month, but was postponed. If approved, a subdivision would be created on the three-acre site while keeping the single-family home of David W. O’Leary, according to documents filed with the city by attorney Paul A. Magliochetti of Sheehan, Schiavoni, Jutras and Magliocchetti. He said each lot meets zoning requirements for three-family units.
