SELECTMEN RACE Q&A: O’Mahony & Marsh Discuss What They Hope To Accomplish During Their First Term

WILMINGTON, MA — Jomarie O’Mahony, Daryn Marsh, and Kevin MacDonald are running for the seat on the Wilmington Board of Selectmen recently vacated by Ed Loud. The winner will fulfill the one year remaining on Loud’s unexpired term.

Wilmington Apple is asking the candidates multiple questions each week leading up to the April 27 Town Election.

The latest question:

If you are elected, what are at least 3 BIG things you hope to accomplish during your three years on the board? How would you accomplish these things?

Below are the candidates’ responses, in their own words:

Jomarie O’Mahony

Given that the seat I am seeking is for a one year term, I can only speak to what I hope to accomplish in the next year. My number one focus would be to get more answers to the 362 Middlesex Avenue situation (i.e., the proposed detox center) and I would try to reconvene discussions among the parties to settle the matter. The second issue I feel needs our immediate attention is a solid plan for the North Wilmington Fire Substation and a time frame around the project. And the third issue on which I would want to spend time is the Olin issue.  The town has been waiting for answers and action for far too long. I would hope with the EPA putting the site on the Administrator’s Emphasis List we should at least begin hearing remediation plans for the site, which I believe are absolutely necessary before we can even begin to entertain any development of the site.
