Gary Peters: “I look forward to hearing today what more we can do to rehabilitate and sustain our aging infrastructure.”

It now has state of the art equipment there to train crews on how to clean up oil spills, so we don’t have to wait two weeks for a submersible. It can be there like in an hour and a half, it’s very close. We’re gaining the expertise there…

“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.”

For more than a century, Berston Field House has been a gathering place for Flint residents. It’s important that this historic landmark continues to serve the community for generations to come.

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