Tom Golden’s tenure as city manager commenced Thursday night (April 28, 2022) with an oath of office ceremony in the City Council Chambers at Lowell City Hall. It’s perhaps the toughest job in the city but it will be made easier at first by the millions of dollars available to the city through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and because of the $17 million in free cash that rolled over from the last fiscal year. But the extra money won’t last forever and when it runs out, the increased cost of government that remains after the extra money is gone will make governing much more difficult.
