The memory of Nicholas J. Costello, former state senator and representative and Amesbury mayor, was honored Thursday during a memorial adjournment and moment of silence initiated by Sen. Barry R. Finegold. Finegold was joined in the Senate chamber by Costello’s son, former state Rep. Michael Costello. “A champion of environmental and social justice, Costello worked with local organizations for over 40 years to protect the natural beauty and quality of life for Merrimack Valley residents. As Senate chairman of the Legislature’s Committee on Energy, Sen. Costello was a visionary helping to negotiate and regulate clean and renewable energy. He was selected to serve as the Massachusetts Senate liaison in discussions with Canada on the Hydro-Quebec energy supply project,” Finegold said, in part.
