Months ago, I attended a Board of Supervisors meeting where it was brought to the board’s attention that a very old, abandoned home, which sat near a creek with oyster beds was crumbling. The concern was the house was old and likely contained asbestos. The urgency to carefully and methodically remove that home from next to the creek as soon as possible was not lost on me. Wetland protection, clean and safe roads, effective schools and public services, infrastructure projects that match the growth of our county, and opportunities that offer our younger generations the option to remain in Westmoreland County are my highest priorities.
