Message from the Mayor

This is Mayor Driscoll, I’m calling to let you know that the state has announced that starting tomorrow, the next group of residents will become eligible to receive the COVID vaccine. This group includes all residents over the age of 65, anyone who lives or works in affordable senior housing buildings, and anyone with two more specific medical conditions – regardless of their age. You can find a list of those medical conditions at salem.com/vaccine. 

You can also visit that website to find links to vaccine clinics here in Salem and in our surrounding communities, where you can make an appointment to get the vaccine. Please note that appointments at all clinics are only posted when they have vaccine doses available. For our largest Salem clinic – currently at Salem State’s south campus – we’re posting new appointments for the coming week every Saturday around noon. That clinic isn’t the only one you can go to however, so be sure to check all the clinic sites listed at salem.com/vaccine to find one that works for you. 

Lastly, at present the federal government is providing the state with limited vaccine amounts of approx. 100,000 vaccine doses per week. The latest group of eligible residents is estimated at 1,000,000 million people. We ask for your patience as until the federal government begins releasing more doses of the vaccine, the Commonwealth has a very limited supply. This is a marathon, not a sprint, and we’re all in it together. As additional vaccines become available, we'll be ready to vaccinate more people at the local level! 

Thanks for your patience and stay safe.

Hola, les habla su alcalde Kim Driscoll para informarles que el estado ha anunciado comenzando mañana, el próximo grupo de residentes serán elegibles para recibir la vacuna del COVID. Este grupo incluye residentes mayores de 65 años de edad, y cualquier persona cual vive o trabaja en edificios designados de bajo ingreso para envejecientes, y cualquier persona con 2 o más condiciones médicas – sin importancia de su edad. Usted puede encontrar una lista de esas condiciones medicas visitando la pagina salem.com/vaccine. 

Usted también puede visitar la pagina web para encontrar recursos de los locales cuales ofrecen vacunas aquí en Salem y también en los pueblos alrededores, donde usted puede hacer su cita y obtener la vacuna. Favor note que las citas solamente están disponibles en sitios donde la vacuna esta disponible. Para nuestro sitio local más amplio en Salem State en el campus sur, estamos agregando citas semanales cada sábado a medio día. Este sitio no es el único disponible. Asegúrese de revisar todos los sitios listado en la pagina salem.com/vaccine para encontrar un lugar cual le pueda salir de beneficio. 

Últimamente, en el momento, el gobierno federal esta distribuyendo cantidades limitadas al estado de aproximadamente cien mil dosis de vacunas semanal. El ultimo grupo de residentes elegibles se espera que sea un millón de personas. Les pedimos su paciencia hasta que el gobierno federal comienzo a distribuir mas dosis de la vacuna, el estado de Massachusetts tiene una cantidad limitada. Esto es un maratón no una carrera y estamos todos juntos en esto. En cuanto se hagan mas vacunas disponibles, estaremos preparado para vacunar a mas personas en un nivel local. 

Gracias por su paciencia y manténganse seguros.  

Share your priorities for the Footprint Property

Salem Municipal Harbor Plan – Salem Municipal Harbor Plan

Through the Salem Harbor Plan Committee, the City is updating the Salem Harbor Plan to address key changes along our waterfront and to guide future development. This update will include the reuse of the over 40 acres of privately owned waterfront land around the new power plant (the "Footprint Property") within the Designated Port Area (DPA). DPAs are land and water areas set aside for industrial uses that rely on access to the water to operate. Through the Harbor Plan, which will also serve as a DPA Master Plan, the City may request flexibility for certain use standards but must balance that flexibility with strategic elements that ensure that DPA interests are still protected.

The feedback received through this survey will help the Harbor Plan Committee understand the community's goals and priorities for the reuse of this property and will inform the Committee's visioning process going forward.

We are required to follow state mandated phasing for vaccinations and anyone over the age of 75 or anyone who falls within the Phase One category is eligible to receive the vaccine. According to leading health experts, the COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective – and it’s how we will finally be able to put this pandemic behind us.

A nosotros no requieren seguir las medidas de las faces recomendadas del estado y cualquier persona mayor de 75 años de edad o cualquier persona que cae bajo la categoría en la fase 1 son elegibles a recibir la vacuna. Los expertos de medicina avisan que la vacuna del covid-19 es segura y efectiva y es como que finalmente podremos poner esta pandemia como parte de nuestro pasado. 
Favor de planear a recibir la vacuna cuanto antes que usted sea elegible para recibirla. Si usted tiene alguna pregunta sobre la vacuna del COVID-19, usted puede encontrar más detalles en línea visitando la página salem.com/vaccines o puede mandar sus preguntas por correo electrónica a health@salem.com a nuestros oficiales locales de salud pública. Agradezco su paciencia mientras trabajamos juntos para cambiar el impacto de COVID en nuestra comunidad.
