THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2020 Page 13 AMAZON | FROM Page 1 the Showcase Cinema close,” said Serino. “For my entire life, I have been going to the movie theater, and there has been a movie theater there in some form for about 50 years.” But given the one-two punch in societal changes of how people consume entertainment along with movie attendance falling off a cliff due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Serino said it was likely inevitable that the theater would close. On the positive side, the councillor said he is glad that the site will not be home to further residential development in the city and will remain a commercial property. On the campaign trail in Ward 6, Serino said he heard from many residents concerned about more large-scale apartment or condominium buildings going up in the area. “I’m very excited that this is going to be a commercial property,” said Serino. “Amazon will bring jobs to Revere, and from what I am hearing, they will also be improving traffi c in the area.” Serino said he will advocate for Revere residents to have precedence for jobs at the new Amazon facility, and added he will work with D’Ambrosio and the developers to make sure any necessary building mitigations are made to benefi t the residents of the ward. D’Ambrosio states that, “we are working closely with engineering and other consultants to design a plan for the facility that is in line with the City’s as-of-right zoning and which will result in a modern, well-designed building.” They are also actively seeking the input of City of Revere offi cials to develop a cohesive plan that is mindful of the concerns of and potential impacts to the City. Sale and transfer of property will likely go on record by this year’s end. Construction on the new facility will likely start in early 2021.
