Dear Friends,
There is a lot happening here in Central Nova. I'm happy to share this information with you about important projects I'm working on to improve our daily lives through federal investments in community facilities, roads and wharves and updating our water and sewer systems.
Over the next few months, I will be announcing federal investments for several projects in Central Nova as part of our Economic Action Plan. Our federal government is making, significant investment for improvements in housing, roads and other community assets to help stimulate our local economy and keep people working.
As always, I look forward to working with you on these important initiatives.
