It’s been one hell of a few months. My team and I have been hard at work on the ground getting our communities the resources they need throughout the pandemic. We distributed thousands of masks throughout the district, secured many gallons of sanitizer for Cornwall’s first responders and teachers, and helped over 4,000 constituents with unemployment problems.
This summer, I announced key revitalization plans including state funding to renovate and repair Bridge and for crosswalks, benches, and beautification of Main Street. This month, the Bridge Street bridge will re-open for pedestrian traffic and a full re-paving of Main Street will happen in the spring.
These grants follow our successful lobbying of the Department of Transportation to rehabilitate six Route 9W overpasses, including those along Angola Road, Willow Avenue, and Quaker Avenue in the Town of Cornwall.
Earlier this year, I, alongside local officials and residents, revealed the complete installation of the Jackson Avenue traffic light in the Town of Cornwall, completely restructuring one of the town’s most dangerous intersections.
As many of our small businesses are getting back on their feet, it’s timely and vital for these projects to come to fruition. Investing in much- needed infrastructure improvements will continue to be a top priority of mine, especially now when municipalities and taxpayers need all the relief they can get.
We have the fight of our lives coming up in this election and we need everyone to get out and vote. Last year we passed historic voting reforms like early voting, helping citizens exercise their right to have their voices heard.
I’m delighted to be a neighbor here in Cornwall and I look forward to seeing you all in the near future.
