At Monday’s City Council Meeting Mayor William T. Martin issued Executive Order 2026-02, committing City resources to assist in the identification, restoration, and maintenance of abandoned cemeteries in Havre de Grace that have been forgotten which contain the remains of United States Colored Troops (USCT) veterans. Through a partnership with the Sergeant Alfred B. Hilton Foundation, the City will lead efforts to research property records and provide site maintenance, including the removal of debris and overgrowth. This initiative ensures that local heros—notably Corporal Louis H. Hill of the 30th U.S. Colored Infantry—and all fellow USCT heroes are honored with the dignity and respect that their service demands.

Tree Removal in Tydings Memorial Park
Despite the city's best efforts to save the iconic maple tree in the center of the Tydings Memorial Park playground, sadly, ongoing disease and decay have made its removal necessary. The tree is scheduled to be taken down on Monday, August 3.

To ensure our park remains green and shaded, DPW will plant a large-caliper replacement tree in its place this fall. Thank you for your understanding as we work to keep our park safe and beautiful!

Statement from Mayor William T. Martin on the Passing of Ezra Berger

“It is with heavy hearts that we receive the news of the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Ezra Berger.

Ezra was a true creative force—a maverick whose imagination inspired our entire community. He possessed a rare talent for sparking wonder and leaving a lasting impression. Those who knew Ezra or experienced his artwork knew they were witnessing something truly special.

We were deeply fortunate to have Ezra on our City team. In that time, he became far more than a valued colleague; he was a cherished friend whose passion, warmth, and artistic vision touched us all. His absence will be felt profoundly across Havre de Grace. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the Berger family during this difficult time.

Ezra was open about his journey with mental health—both the challenges and the victories. Mental health affects so many in our community, and recent heartbreaking losses have hit us especially hard. Please know that if you are struggling, you are not alone, and help is available.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, please call or text 988.

Half of all people will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime. To honor them, raise awareness, and support all those impacted, I have ordered the Concord Point Lighthouse to be lit green for seven days beginning this evening. Green is the color of mental health awareness and symbolizes hope, strength, and healing.”

Statement from Mayor William T. Martin on the Passing of former Mayor John P. Correri, Jr.

"It is hard to even begin to explain the loss our community has suffered with the passing of our beloved friend and former Mayor, John P. Correri, Jr. For me, like I am sure is the case for so many of you, this news feels like losing a big brother.

John was a servant leader who always gave you his full attention, with an extraordinary ability to listen to and understand the concerns of our city. When we served together on the City Council, John became a true mentor to me. He was always willing to sit down, talk, and really listen to his fellow council members, offering guidance grounded in decades of wisdom and love for our community. We have lost a great man whom I was proud to call my friend.

What I always admired about John was his integrity, a true Havre de Gracian whose family roots in our community date back to the 1890s. A graduate of The John Carroll School and the University of Baltimore, he dedicated himself as an elected official—serving as Councilman, Council President, and Mayor, as well as earning a spot in the Maryland Municipal League Hall of Fame. Most recently, John continued his commitment to his city by serving as Chairman of the Havre de Grace Ethics Commission.

His devotion went far beyond City Hall. For over 50 years, John served as a trustee for the Havre de Grace Ambulance Corps, a member of the Susquehanna Hose Company, and an active leader with St. Patrick’s Church and Citizens Care and Rehabilitation. In 2022, he was honored as a Harford Living Treasure.

John spent his life in service to community. On behalf of the City of Havre de Grace, I extend my deepest condolences to his wife, Linda, and the entire Correri family.

In honor of John’s legacy, I have ordered all City flags to be lowered to half-staff."
