METHUEN — Gov. Maura Healey visited the area Monday evening, talking about youth development, then later speaking in front of business leaders.
After appearing at the site of what will be Methuen’s first ever dedicated Youth Center — at a current administrative building, 10 Ditson Place — Healey struck out for Haverhill where she gave the keynote address to the Merrimack Valley Chamber of Commerce at Michael’s Function Hall, 12 Alpha St.
