Public and private sector leaders are to be honored when the Greater Haverhill Chamber of Commerce hosts its “Celebrating Our Community” annual dinner next month.
Northern Essex Community College President Lane A. Glenn is to be presented the Chamber’s top honor, the Charles E. Billups Award. Billups was former chairman of Essex County Gas Co. (now part of National Grid) who was credited to transforming the business organization in modern times.
The Jerry Loy Outstanding Director of the Year Award goes to footwear design consultant Penny Guerrero-Perez, while Haverhill mayoral Chief of Staff Allison Heartquist receives the Community Leadership Award and UMass Lowell Innovation Hub’s Stephanie Guyotte receives the Chamber Service Award.
There will soon be a new spot for outdoor dining and picnicking in Bradford Square.
The City of Haverhill has agreed to license a parcel of land between the Sky Dragon restaurant and the Oh Daddy’s building in what is formally called Central Square, Bradford, for use as a small public park over the summer.
Councilor Timothy J. Jordan said this week the idea came from longtime Haverhill resident Eric Sahagian of the Better World Club who approached him about cleaning up the spot. He said additional efforts by the mayoral Chief of Staff Allison Heartquist and Lynda Brown from the city’s Brightside group turned the idea into a reality.
