Mr. Speaker, I rise today to gratefully announce that our office has secured over $4.5 million to support water and sewer infrastructure in Gaston County. We need these funds to support new jobs and affordable housing, as Gaston continues to see remarkable growth. The town of Ranlo is going to double in population this decade. With new families and businesses moving to the county, it strains our utilities and you can't put an apartment or an office building on a septic tank. When I have talked to local leaders in Gaston County, this has been one of their top priorities. This funding is desperately needed and will go directly to making Gaston a better place to live and work. I am very proud that our office was able to help. Supporting Gastonia Police Department
