As summer officially begins, I've been keeping busy in the district!
Last Tuesday, I was pleased to have Secretary Jake Day, from the Department of Housing and Community Development, visit the Glen Burnie Town Center. We walked along the trail and B & A Blvd, the County Executive Steuart Pittman, District 2 County Councilwoman Allison Pickard, and Delegate Mark Chang joined us.
During the visit, we discussed the potential for additional State Legacy grants to further enhance and revitalize Glen Burnie. We are excited about the possibilities that these grants could bring to our community and look forward to continuing our efforts to improve the Glen Burnie Town Center.
