Wicked Local
After 14 years of labor, “Kate’s House” finally got the starry ceremony many who worked on the project feel it deserved.
A group of local and area officials gathered on Tuesday, May 18 as the Cohasset Housing Authority cut the ribbon at their latest development, “Kate’s House.”
In 2007, Catherine “Kate” Luna, former Managing Director of the Cohasset Housing Authority, had the idea to sell off the Trettis House and subdivide the land it sat on to create a new home for adults with disabilities.
Luna’s idea was met with resistance at first, eliciting skepticism from other members of the CHA and an outright lack of support from the Department of Housing and Community Development.

Selectman Greg Grey, 54, of Fair Street, is running for reelection, after first winning the seat in 2018 by beating incumbent Christopher Mitchell, 682 to 381.
Grey said he got involved in town politics 15 years ago, once his children got older and he was no longer involved in youth sports and he had a little more time. I have a strong desire in me to do good for the community, and still press forward with positive change, he said.
Kevin Beck, 54, of F Street, is challenging Grey for the seat in the May election. He said he spent most of his childhood in Hull and came back in 2019, after retiring from the Navy, followed by a stint working for Boeing.
The consultants presented the report to the Hull Board of Selectmen during a joint meeting on April 7. Lemnios said at that meeting that the schools should set up a working group, including himself and Kuehn, to work through what a consolidation process would look like.
Hull officials said during that meeting they could use the Memorial Middle School as a new town hall, as the current town hall is in need of expensive repairs and is too small to hold all the town s departments.
During that meeting, school committee member Stephanie Peters said the town was trying to foist its problem, of a dilapidated town hall, onto the school district and that the school board needed to deliberate in public, about what it thinks of the consolidation plans.
