U.S. Senator Ed Markey is the latest in a series of regional, State, and Federal officials to visit Downtown Gardner and view ongoing projects.
Gardner Mayor Michael Nicholson stated, “Thank you to US Senator Ed Markey for joining us downtown today to discuss ways Gardner has used federal funds to further our economic development, housing production, and infrastructure improvement goals. Thank you to all of our community partners who joined us for the event and for the work we’ve been able to do as a team to move Gardner forward. In the last 4 years, over $15 million in federal grant funding has come to Gardner, and we’re going after every grant available to continue the progress we’ve made.”
Previous visits have been made to Gardner by Massachusetts Secretary of Housing and Livable Communities Ed Augustus, both Governor Healey and Lieutenant Governor Driscoll, Congresswoman Lori Trahan, and U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren.
