Newton, Mass., Mayor Setti Warren
“Upgrading aging school buildings so that they are conducive for 21st-century learning is an important part of a city's success,” Newton’s Mayor Setti Warren told GPN. Simultaneously, the mayor wants to ensure that the city has adequate community spaces for all ages to thrive.
Financial sustainability has been the first priority for Mayor Warren’s administration. He has worked with city officials to eliminate the city’s pension liability and Other Post-employment Benefits (OPEB) liability.
Fiscal changes implemented in Mayor Warren’s term have given the city some budget breathing room. As a result, Newton will complete construction and renovation of five new elementary schools in the next six years. In addition, the city will occupy a renovated intergenerational center in that same time period.
