Early this month, I visited Brookville, Jefferson County, located in my district, to congratulate local officials and community leaders on securing funds for a long-awaited project. The Historic Brookville Town Square is one of the most important pieces of the community's long-term plan and is the product of a very successful fundraising effort by Historic Brookville, Incorporated. The Historic Brookville Town Square will be located next to the Jefferson County Courthouse on land once occupied by a vacant, rundown building. The funding for the project includes more than $300,000 raised by the community through the efforts of Historic Brookville, showing a real desire on behalf of the residents to beautify their community. Mr. Speaker, this park represents a great public-private partnership, with the final $150,000 in grant funding clearing the way for this project to enter the planning stages. I have been proud to work with the community leaders in Brookville to move this project one step closer to completion. ____________________
