Three community giants were recognized for achievements at Tuesday night’s Haverhill City Council meeting.
Among them, John L. Cuneo who, after nearly four decades of service, retired last month as president and chief executive officer of Haverhill’s Community Action.
Councilor John A. Michitson cited a handful of Cuneo’s achievements during his time in office.
“He helped establish Emmaus as the city’s first homeless shelter. He started the city’s first substance abuse prevention program. He organized surplus food distributions and that is only a sampling of what John Cuneo has done. Haverhill has benefitted immeasurably from John Cuneo’s caliber and impact to serving the community,” he said.
