The Somerville Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with Mayor Joseph Curtatone and the Somerville Board of Aldermen, led by Rebekah Gerwitz and Bruce Desmond, has announced that the MBTA will be offering an exclusive ad discount for Somerville businesses to aid in the economic recovery due to the impact of weekend T station closures. The MBTA, through its ad contractor Titan 360, is offering discounted 12, 24 and 40 week ad packages. The program will kick off with a workshop on January 13th at Saloon in Davis Square.   The Chamber and the city are now working with the MBTA to aid in economic recovery of lost business activity during the shut down and to promote Somerville as a destination.
