| | Our photo of the week was taken by the illustrious Kathleen Palmer, from her new office at City Hall. It shows St. Patrick’s Church alight with the setting sun on Christmas Eve. It lasted only minutes, but it was quite vibrant!Kathleen, has been our Marketing Coordinator here at Great American Downtown for the past two and a half years, and is well known for her time at the Nashua Telegraph as the editor of Encore. She has bid us adieu as she takes on her new role in the office of Mayor Jim Donchess as Communications and Special Projects Coordinator. Kath has been a valuable part of the team here, and we are sad to see her go – but glad that it isn’t too far away! Please join us in wishing her all the best! | | |

| | TEMPORARY MASK ORDINANCE IN EFFECT TIL JAN. 31 | | |
| | Nashua businesses can download flyer noting temporary mask ordinance From Dept. of Health: “Once again, we are asking for your invaluable help to combat this COVID-19 pandemic. First, I would like to recognize and thank you for all that you have done over this long, long battle. It has not gone unnoticed. Without your help over the last two years, I believe the situation would certainly be worse. I have to report to you that the Nashua and NH numbers have increased greatly (25%) from our Thanksgiving celebrations. We have two more holidays fast approaching, along with the fact that people having moved indoors for the season, and the presence of a new contagious variant sweeping across our country that we know little about. We have been told to prepare for a âviral blizzard.â We ask that you once again assist us in keeping our fellow citizens safe. On December 21, 2021, the City of Nashua Board of Alderman voted to accept Ordinance O-21-083 proposed by the Nashua Board of Health. The ordinance reinstates a citywide mask mandate effective immediately through January 31, 2022. We recognize what a vital role business owners play in keeping people safe. We ask that you display the enclosed mask posters and remind people to âMask Upâ to help reduce the spread of the virus. We are all in this together to help âbend the curveâ of infection and reduce the high demand on hospital beds, which are at full capacity currently. I know this has been hard, especially for you on the front lines. As my father used to say, âMost times doing the right thing isnât always the easy thing.â If you have any questions or concerns, please call. We are here to help. Thank you again from a grateful Public Health Department, the Board of Health, Board of Aldermen and from grateful Citizens of Nashua. Best wishes to you and your families for a joyous holiday season and my New Yearâs wish to us all is to get back to normal. Sincerely, Anthony M. Storace, DMD, MAGD Chair, Nashua Board of Health” DOWNLOAD FLYER by clicking below. Flyer is at the bottom of the City of Nashua page, under “Download & Share” — | | |
