President Biden has issued an executive order for a Day of Mourning on January 9, 2025 as a mark of respect for James Earl Carter, Jr., the thirty-ninth President of the United States who passed away on December 29. Hamilton town offices will remain open January 9, 2025 and all town services will continue to run on a normal schedule this week. The United States of America flag will be lowered to half-staff at all town buildings through January 28, 2025 in honor of the life and legacy of former President Jimmy Carter.
“President Carter lived a life dedicated to peace, human rights, democracy and moral clarity. He set an enduring example of what it means to serve others, and his legacy will continue inspire generations to come,” said Governor Maura Healey. “I’m sending love and strength to the Carter family as they, and our nation, process this profound loss. May we all honor his memory by building a more just, peaceful and caring world.”
