Cape Vincent welcomed U.S. Rep. Claudia Tenney (NY-24) to town this morning for a roundtable discussion on local priorities and progress.
The visit began at 9:30 AM with opening remarks from Town Supervisor Christine Stark, followed by a community overview covering Cape Vincent's economic landscape, key strengths, and priority needs. Local leaders and residents discussed ongoing projects and initiatives directly with the Congresswoman, with the Waterfront Project and Water District #7 as top priorities.
A significant highlight: of the $2 million requested for Cape Vincent, $850,000 has moved forward in Congresswoman Tenney's Discretionary Budget request as part of the Federal Budget process, a major step forward for these local priorities.
Rep. Tenney also joined Supervisor Stark for a windshield tour of key project sites: the Club Street Project, Tibbetts Point Lighthouse, and Water District #7.
The visit concluded around 10:30 AM with a press conference outside the Town offices, covered by WWNY 7 News, where Supervisor Stark presented Rep. Tenney with a basket of Cape Vincent-made products, including the basket woven from fisherman's netting.
Thank you to Congresswoman Tenney for taking the time to see our community firsthand, and to everyone who took part in today's roundtable: Christine Stark, Patricia Bach, Mary Farrell, Jerry Golden, Marty Mason, Mike Bell, Matt Cooper and David Powers (Barton & Loguidice), Bill Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Smashee, Tina Bell, and Jennifer Van Reenen.
