Committee records tribute to Helen Cox and adjourns BPDA nomination hearing
Summary
The committee read a brief tribute to Helen Cox, a Fenway affordable-housing advocate who died the morning of Aug. 4, and closed the session, noting letters of support for the nominee and that the confirmation will be moved forward at the next meeting.
Near the close of the Aug. 4 hearing, Chair Councilor Dorkin read a note informing the committee that Helen Cox, a longtime Fenway resident and advocate for affordable housing, had died that morning. Dorkin described Cox as a "huge proponent of affordable housing" and said she served on local boards and civic organizations.
The committee also recorded letters of absence and support for the nominee, and Chair Dorkin said the committee looks forward to moving the nomination forward at the next meeting. The hearing was then adjourned; no public testimony was taken during this session.
