Our new State Senator talks about Harvard and Allston

The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Election Ends Political Anxiety

Galluccio is no stranger to Harvard expansion in Cambridge. During his tenure on the city’s University Relations Committee from 2004 to 2005, Harvard secured the go-ahead for numerous construction projects, including graduate student housing near Mather House and science buildings north of the Yard. The seven-term city councillor says that his past experience will enable him to be an advocate for the Allston-Brighton area.

“I have a long history working with the neighborhoods of Cambridge in dealing with Harvard University development issues,” he said. “I’m aware of how important these issues are to the Allston-Brighton community, and I will be an advocate and continue to work with the neighborhood.”
