Ward 1 Councilor Margaret LaForest speaks at Red Door Real Estate event for local real estate agents
Quincy, MA – (November 17, 2011) Ward 1 City Councilor Margaret LaForest stopped by Red Door Real Estate today to speak to local real estate agents. Margaret was invited to speak on topics ranging from blithe properties to revitalization projects throughout Quincy and Ward 1. With so much attention on the redevelopment of downtown Margaret feels it is important to inform locals of additional projects helping to revitalize Quincy, which may be overlooked.
As Margaret addressed the crowd she joked about getting interested in politics many years ago when helping the campaign to elect Madelene Cheney’s father in-law Michael Cheney, former Ward 1 City Councilor and Councilor and Large for Quincy. Local agents were impressed by Margaret’s enthusiasm for our city and were able to take away a better understanding for all that our city has to offer.
