Medford Postpones Police Station Ceremony Amid COVID Spike
Officials decided not to hold a ribbon cutting ceremony Tuesday at the new 35,000-square-foot police station due to rising COVID numbers.
MEDFORD, MA — The ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Medford police station has been postponed due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the city, officials announced Monday. The ceremony was originally scheduled for Dec. 8 and included a small in-person ceremony attended by Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn, Police Chief Jack Buckley and local and state officials.
Medford Community Media will film a virtual tour of the building, which will air on Government Access TV and the city website.
The mayor plans to have a formal ceremony in the coming months.
