Free parking in Downtown Salem
Mayor Kimberley Driscoll is pleased to announce that the City will be offering free parking for up to 4 hours at a time at all meters in downtown on Saturdays during the holiday season.
Starting this Saturday, December 8th visitors to downtown Salem will be able to park for free for up to 4-hours at a time at any metered parking space in the downtown. This includes both on-street metered spaces and metered spaces in parking lots. This free parking option on Saturdays will be good through December 25th.
“Salem has many wonderful locally owned stores and restaurants,” said Mayor Driscoll. “Our small businesses provide so much support to the community and it’s important to support them, especially during the holidays.”
This free parking option is a new incentive this year to encourage more shoppers to spend their holiday dollars locally in Salem.
“I hope free parking encourages more shoppers to consider Downtown Salem for their holiday shopping,” added Mayor Driscoll. “Our diverse stores and restaurants have something for everyone on your list.”

Consider Donating to LIFEBRIDGE
Trustee Nate Gravel attended a Salem Chamber of Commerce event recently and met a few people who work for the Lifebridge Thrift Shop on Canal Street. The thrift shop takes donations of household items, furniture, and clothing from the public and sells the donated items.
The proceeds go to programs, food, and shelter for Salem’s homeless.
He wanted to get the word out about Lifebridge through the blog. Nate says "I see a lot of quality items end up in the dumpster as people move in and out of the building, and I think that these items could and should ultimately donated." Would you be willing to help spread the word? Condo residents could contact Nate to coordinate donations. You can reach Nate through Markwood Management at 781-639-4080.
To learn more about Lifebridge’s operation, please take a look at their website: www.lifebridgesalem.org
Any assistance you could provide would be much appreciated.
