Gary Peters: “But one thing was clear then and remains true now: Michigan communities are tough and resilient.”

The newly renovated Pontiac Oaks Park is a prime example of what’s possible when federal, state, and local officials work together to achieve a common goal.

I feel deeply honored to receive this recognition and I’m thrilled to celebrate this new community space alongside residents and partners.

“While this is a positive step forward, the job is not finished until full operations are restored at every impacted Coast Guard station in Michigan, and I’ll keep pushing until that happens.”

We are once again on the cusp of journeying into deep space and this time we are going boldly and we are going to stay.
