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 MS Captain Red, a 105-feet long, 28-feet wide passenger ship, is expected to make its arrival in downtown Haverhill during high tide this Friday.
In advance of its arrival, major heavy-duty moorings were installed by crane Sunday in the Merrimack River, off Water Street in Haverhill. Tonight, members of the Haverhill Harbor Commission meet to work on final details. Tim Slavit, son of legendary beloved harbormaster William J. “Red” Slavit for whom the ship is named, explains the Harbor Commission’s role.

The Haverhill School Committee elected veteran member Scott W. Wood Jr. as its vice chairman during its annual reorganization Thursday.
Wood, who has served on the School Committee more than 17 years, was elected unanimously and succeeds Richard J. Rosa. Mayor James J. Fiorentini, who serves as chairman, congratulated Wood while commending Rosa for his service during a very challenging year.
“I’m very, very pleased that, for the first time in several years, our School Committee is united as we need to be in these times, and I look forward to working with you Scott. I really want to commend you attorney Richard Rosa. Thank you very much for a job well done,” the mayor said.
