Autism Awareness Event a Great Success
Last week, my office hosted an event to raise awareness about the challenges that individuals with autism face, as well as the many programs and initiatives that are available to assist them and their families. The event drew an excellent turnout from the community and gave members of the public an opportunity to learn about services and programs that are available through state and county agencies. I plan to continue shining a spotlight on this very important subject and continue the discussion.

Around the District - Advocating for Bridge Redesign
I recently highlighted the need for redesigning the First Battalion, 109th Field Artillery Pennsylvania Army National Guard Bridge (commonly known as the Carey Avenue Bridge), which has experienced a growing problem with trash and is riddled with overgrown vegetation, deteriorating cement, and a lack of safe pedestrian access. The heavily traveled bridge connects Hanover Township to Plymouth, Larksville, and the entire West Side. I will continue advocating for improving conditions for both motorists and pedestrians. You can check our WBRE’s report here.
