Council approves $1.2 million Harbor grant

Select Board · Meeting of February 10, 2026

Lynn City Council voted 11-0 to approve $1.2 million in MassWorks grant funding for the Lynn South Harbor Project. The vote, taken during the council's third regular meeting of the year, also confirmed a $46,875 transfer funding a police partnership with the Essex district attorney's office against gang crime, and $25,217.39 for a health department inclusion program. Councilors separately confirmed Mayor Jared C. Nicholson's appointment of Audrey Jimenez to the Human Rights Commission.

Councilor Bryan Field told colleagues a snow emergency parking ban begun at 5 p.m. would lift after 9 p.m., giving residents until 6 a.m. "to move their vehicle" from emergency lots, and that schools would be closed Wednesday, February 11, after more than 22 inches of snow this winter and two consecutive house fires in the city.
