Ten days after the commission sent the letter to the mayor’s office, Rosanne Foley, who has been the executive director of the Boston Landmarks Commission since she was appointed to the position by then-mayor Martin J. Walsh in 2015, left her role.
The head of a Boston commission that publicly slammed the Wu administration’s handling of a number of hot-button projects and “unprecedented disregard” for state laws that govern its preservation work was fired by the mayor last week.
A Suffolk Superior Court judge last month rejected the plaintiffs' request for a preliminary injunction to temporarily pause any progress on the project until the lawsuit could be resolved.
Rosanne Foley, appointed as Landmarks Commission executive director by former mayor Marty Walsh, was terminated last Friday, 12 days after all 16 commissioners sent a letter to Wu criticizing the way she "disregards" their oversight role.
