Mayor's Welcome
For nearly 200 years Brockton has retained its distinctive character as a complete community, and benefits from its role in the regional economy. It has excellent transportation access that links employment, employees, education, and services. While other communities in the Greater Boston area have become very expensive places to live or to conduct business, Brockton provides a high-quality alternative that is relatively affordable to all.
Brockton provides the benefits that arise from a culturally diverse population and the diversity of its employment base. This is a complete city – with its diverse places to work, study, shop, and live. The neighborhoods are compact, walkable, and endowed with a solid stock of housing. It has a remarkably varied and extensive network of open spaces, cultural and civic institutions.

Yesterday afternoon, Mayor Robert Sullivan proudly celebrated St. Patrick's Day and Irish Heritage Day at City Hall. He was joined by State Senator Mike Brady, Plymouth County Commissioner Gregory Hanley, City Councilors Jack Lally and Susan Nicastro, School Committee Members Judy Sullivan and Timothy Sullivan, and City Clerk Timothy Cruise. The Mayor's parents, Bob and Sue Sullivan, raised the flag of Ireland inside the City Hall rotunda.
The Irish community has played a vital role in shaping the economy and culture of Brockton since the 19th century. In his remarks, the Mayor shared how his paternal grandparents and maternal great-grandparents immigrated to Brockton from Ireland to work in the local shoe industry.
Mayor Sullivan also read a proclamation honoring the significant contributions of Irish-Americans to our City, County, Commonwealth, and Country. This festive event also featured a performance by the Council Chords and some delicious Irish-themed treats. We thank everyone who attended this annual community celebration.
