The City moved from busted to flush in a few day’s time last week when it came to vaccinating its first responders for COVID-19, with Everett not being on the list to get vaccine for first responders last week and then moving to having a vaccine clinic Tuesday for them at City Hall.
Mayor Carlo DeMaria announced on Friday that the Commonwealth approved Everett’s application to begin offering the COVID vaccine to first responders employed by the City.
“Along with my colleagues State Senator Sal DiDomenico and State Representative Joe McGonagle, the Governor was
receptive to our advocacy and our first responders began receiving the vaccine Tuesday, January 12,” said the mayor. “These first responders have been at the front line protecting our community during the pandemic and I am grateful to be able to offer the vaccine to these individuals as an important sign that Everett is on its way to beating this virus.”

The project sits on a section of Broadway near McKinnon’s and DiBlasio’s that hasn’t seen new investment in decades – aside from the 600 and a similar residential project across the street form Greg Antonelli. The 600 is an 85-unit new construction building, with 37 parking spaces, on two lots that are now a doctor’s house office and a one-story professional building. The project would also i
Mayor Carlo DeMaria announced this week he will hire 20 new members of the Everett Fire Department (EFD) to create a new Fire-based ambulance service, but members of the Fire Union say they have been completely left out of the plan for their Department.
In an op-ed posted on Social Media, Mayor DeMaria said after reading an article last week about low staffing levels in the EFD, he was compelled to release his plan for the City’s first-ever Emergency Medical Service (EMS) that would be based out of the Fire Department.
“While there will always be a need for fire suppression in the City, the Administration has thoroughly studied how to better serve our residents based on the type, frequency, and level of calls received by the Everett Fire Department over the past five years,” wrote the mayor. “The analysis of the data has resulted in a strategic plan that will fill the vacancies in the Everett Fire Department and establish Everett’s own fire-based EMS service for the first

“This year is different, so we had to pivot with our plans. What is our usual Christmas extravaganza will be modified to adhere to the State’s guidelines,” said Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “The pandemic has made this year challenging, and we want to spread as much holiday cheer as possible to ensure that this is a magical Christmas for everyone. The children of Everett have displayed their maturity throughout the year, and I hope that these festivities can bring them joy and happiness.”
