Mayor Mitchell Visits Lincoln School 2-11-26

This was a community engagement meeting held by the City of New Bedford on February 11, 2026, where Mayor Mitchell visited Lincoln School to speak with second-grade students about city government, leadership, and public service. The mayor discussed the responsibilities of city leadership, including managing city finances, ensuring public safety, and overseeing city departments such as police, fire, and schools. While the discussion touched on budget constraints and the importance of tax revenue for city operations, there were no specific procurement actions, contract awards, or vendor selections mentioned during the visit. The meeting primarily focused on educating young students about civic leadership and the role of the mayor rather than on procurement or contracting matters.
