Former Medford Mayor Honored by EPA

Former Medford Mayor Michael J. McGlynn was awarded the 2016 Environmental Lifetime Achievement Award for his exceptional work and commitment to the environment. The award recognizes outstanding environmental advocates who have made significant contributions towards preserving and protecting natural resources over a number of years.

The award was presented at a ceremony at Faneuil Hall in Boston. This annual ceremony has recognized the environmental achievements of New Englanders for more than four decades.

McGlynn was nominated by Mayor Stephanie Muccini Burke, who thanked him for his efforts to reclaim and remediate brown fields in Medford, including Rivers Edge, Station Landing, and Hormel Stadium.
