Dedication of Edwin C. Lucey Courtyard to former Malden Mayor set Tuesday, June 28

Former Malden Mayor, five-term City Councillor and State Representative

  Malden residents are invited to the Edwin C. Lucey Courtyard Dedication on Tuesday, June 28 at 11 a.m. on City Hall Plaza, 215 Pleasant St., Malden Square.

  A true public servant, former Malden Mayor Ed Lucey was elected as a State Representative in 1977-1978. In 1980, he was elected as City Councilor-At-Large where he served for five terms. In 1992, he was elected as Mayor of Malden and served two terms. A former state Representative, Mayor of Malden and longtime City Councillor, Lucey was a major influencer of municipal policy and shaper of Malden history in five different decades.

  A retired longtime business owner in Malden in the insurance industry, Lucey always found time to devote even more of his time to the city, active in the Malden Lions philanthropic group and the Malden Chamber of Commerce.
He is still going strong at 90 years young as the host of a popular Malden Access/Urban Media Arts show, aptly named “Malden 02148”.
In December, the Malden City Council unanimously approved a resolve by former City Councillor Debbie DeMaria that a stone bench be mounted and the courtyard on City Hall Plaza be named in former Mayor Lucey’s honor.
“He has been such a fine example of a public servant to this city and has been a contributing member of this community for so many years,” Councillor DeMaria said in December, 2021. “It is time for a lasting honor for Ed Lucey.”
Former Council President and Ward 7 Councillor Neal Anderson served with Ed Lucey when he was a Councillor in the 1980s. “He was the consummate Malden public servant as well as a tireless supporter and promoter of our Malden community,” Councillor Anderson said. “Few have made such extensive contributions to our community in their lives as Ed Lucey.”

  One of his accomplishments as Mayor was the coordination of three cities (Everett, Malden and Medford) collaboration on what is now River’s Edge on Commercial Street, previously known as TeleCom City.
He is the former Commissioner of Babe Ruth of Malden, Past Director Malden Northern Little League, Board member on Eastern Middlesex Alcoholic Services, Board member of Tri-City Mental Health, Advisory Board member for Malden Catholic High School and a 40-year member of the Malden Lions Club.
