The Haverhill City Council last night agreed to expand the city’s Housing Development Incentive Zone, a move that has the potential to bring more market rate housing into the downtown area.
The existing zone was developed back in 2013 under the state’s Housing Development Incentive Program, which provides tax incentives to developers who undertake new construction or substantial rehabilitation within that zone. The current zone encompasses most of the downtown area, including Merrimack, Washington and Winter Streets and Mayor James J. Fiorentini says the program has been a great success.

Recent automobile collisions with a Route 125 restaurant have captured the attention of Haverhill City Councilor Mary Ellen Daly O’Brien.
O’Brien, who once lived near the intersection where the crashes have occurred, is asking to discuss the matter at tonight’s Haverhill City Council meeting. In recent weeks, Haverhill Police and Fire responded to three car crashes through a front window of Li’s Fine Asian Cuisine and Sushi Bar, 1186 Main St. The restaurant is located near where Plaistow Road intersects with Main Street.
State Sen. Diana DiZoglio. (State House News Service.)
State Sen. Diana DiZoglio wants answers to questions about the state’s troubled COVID-19 vaccine rollout and is prepared to ask the state auditor to investigate if necessary.
DiZoglio said one question is how certain vendors were selected to help distribute the vaccine. She said she wants answers from Gov. Charlie Baker’s administration or will push state Auditor Suzanne M. Bump to conduct an audit. In a letter last week to Bump, DiZoglio said she has heard concerns from residents around transparency and accountability in the rollout process.
DiZoglio said her office asked the state Department of Public Health whether the state formally solicited proposals, but was told that “since vaccination distribution is a federal process, (the state does) not have a role in that.”
