The Mayor’s Office has finally named a new Neighborhood Liaison for Downtown/ Chinatown, after leaving the seat vacant for nearly a year.

Katrina Lin accepted the role last month and was formally announced this week. She has begun meeting with Downtown neighborhood groups.

Lin grew up in New Jersey but moved to Massachusetts in 2020. She previously worked in legal aid throughout Boston and most recently served as a case manager on the Asian Task Force Against Domestic Violence.
