“I was honored to enthusiastically advocate for all of these deserving district projects, helping to make these awards possible. From supporting families and kids to athletic opportunities and support for those struggling with substance use disorder, each project will support success for community members and enrich the lives of our neighbors. The quality of the applications and efforts of the grant recipients is evident as this historic sum of state investment is directed to the 52nd Assembly District.”
