[Massplanners] Juneteenth Follow Up

[Furtado, Jacqueline (SEA)]

I know your question is based on adoption of legislation at the local level, but I want to share that Juneteenth has been officially recognized as a state holiday as of June 2021. Perhaps you can include information from the following article as part of the discussion:

Hi all,

Asking this for our Conservation Agent:

This question was asked previously, however a search of the results only show 2 communities that have accepted Juneteenth Day as an observed holiday.

I am asking again for a response to this question as it is up for discussion at our personnel board meeting next week.

Thank you in advance for your responses.
