Mayor Katjana Ballantyne is pleased to share that the City of Somerville has created a new web page where voters can look up their current address to verify their ward and polling place ahead of the November 2024 Presidential Election. 

Mayor Katjana Ballantyne on behalf of the City of Somerville has reached an agreement with Local 76, the union representing Somerville firefighters, for a contract that will provide updated compensation and benefits and help modernize aspects of the Department’s operations.  The new contract provides competitive annual wage increases, expanded opportunities for incentive pay tied to specialty positions, advanced education, and training, and a new sick leave benefit. 

Mayor Katjana Ballantyne, the SomerViva Office of Immigrant Affairs (SOIA) and the Department of Racial and Social Justice (RSJ) are inviting the Somerville community to join a vibrant celebration of Latin American and Caribbean Heritage Month, this Saturday, October 12.

The free celebration will share the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions of our Latin American and Caribbean communities through music, dance, food, and will feature a Salvadorian music mix performance and a Brazilian Frevo dance workshop.
