Statement from Mayor Kim Driscoll on the passing of former Salem Mayor Anthony V. Salvo (Mayor, 1984-1989)

“I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former Salem Mayor Tony Salvo. Always a gentleman, Mayor Salvo loved Salem with a spirit of dedication that few could match. His tireless efforts, both in public service and as a volunteer in numerous capacities, and his profound commitment to our city have left this community a better place as a result.

“I owe my start in municipal government to my time working as an intern in the City's Planning Department during Mayor Salvo's tenure. I recall his passion for the preservation of Salem Woods and his early support for building senior housing downtown.

“On behalf of the residents of Salem, I offer Tony's wife, Lillian, and the entire Salvo family our City’s deepest condolences.”
