Adrian Madaro Proposes Expanding
Main Streets Program During Local Business Listening Tour
(EAST BOSTON, JAN. 20) This week candidate for State Representative Adrian
Madaro began a listening tour of local businesses and stated that one of his top
priorities if elected would be to extend East Boston Main Streets to Day and
Central Squares.
“The East Boston Main Streets is a tremendous program, but right now it exists
only in Maverick Square and in Orient Heights. We need to expand it to Central
Square and Day Square so that all small businesses in Eastie have access to
these transformative resources.” said Madaro.
Madaro toured businesses throughout East Boston, speaking with owners and
employees about their needs. At Angela’s Café, Luis Garcia praised Adrian for
his efforts to helping set up the café’s first ever Cinco de Maayo celebration.
“Adrian understands that local and family-owned businesses serve as the backbone
of our neighborhood’s economy. Supporting our local businesses directly supports
the local families that own and operate them, making our whole community more
vibrant.” said Stephen Scire, who owns Sammy Carlo’s Catering.
“As Chief of Staff to Representative Basile, Adrian was instrumental in helping
us acquire 154 Maverick Street.” said Melissa Tyler, co-owner of the small
business incubator Maverick Market Place. “His dedication to growing small
businesses helped us to open and we now have 17 new businesses in our
community.”
“One of my top priorities as your next State Representative, will be to create
jobs and promote economic opportunities for all East Boston residents. Extending
Main Streets to other local businesses will be a step in that direction.”
Adrian Madaro is a graduate of Boston Latin School and Tufts University where he
also earned a Masters in Public Policy and Urban Planning. Adrian is an active
member of the East Boston community, serving as a board member of the East
Boston Neighborhood Health Center, Vice President of the YMCA, President of the
Harborside Community Council, Former Vice President of the Neighborhood of
Affordable Housing (NOAH), and Co-Chair and Founder of the Mario Umana Public
Service Fellowship.
