Hoboken Announces Replacement For Cultural Affairs Legend

Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla today announced the appointment of Cristin Cricco-Powell as the City’s new Head of Cultural Affairs.  Cricco-Powell will succeed Geri Fallo, who served the Mile Square City for three decades.   Fallo served in the role during multiple administrations.  She announced her pending retirement last year and will stay on during the transition period before stepping aside.

Cricco-Powell has an impressive background professionally, which certainly qualifies her to take on her new position.  “It is an honor to serve my hometown in this capacity,” said Cricco-Powell.  “I’ve spent over 20 years producing a wide variety of shows, and I’m excited to use those skills to bring amazing entertainment, cultural, and arts programs to my beloved hometown: Hoboken.  I look forward to collaborating with the community, building on old favorites, and launching new programs.”

Mayor Bhalla stated, “I am thrilled to welcome Cristin as the new Head of Cultural Affairs. Her extensive experience producing a variety of television shows, including at the Discovery Channel and History Channel, makes her uniquely qualified for this position. While we will miss Geri and greatly appreciate her years of distinguished service, I am confident that Cristin’s creativity and dedication, along with her deep roots in Hoboken will also serve as tremendous assets to our city.”
