"Together, we can bridge divides and build a brighter future for all Connecticut families."
Thrilled to share that the North Stonington Agricultural Fair has been awarded a $49,999 Agricultural Enhancements Grant to improve their livestock facilities! As someone who loves the fair and all it brings to our community, I couldn’t be happier to see this investment in our local traditions and agricultural heritage. Can’t wait to see the upgrades to the barns this year!
Thank you you do amazing work!This week, we’re proud to celebrate Animal Control Officer Appreciation Week by giving a huge shoutout to our own ACOs, Christine and Keri!
Thank you both for your compassion, dedication, and the incredible work you do daily to protect the animals of Groton.
We are lucky to have you on our team!
🐕💕👮🏻This week is Animal Control Officer
Appreciation Week, and I want to take a moment to recognize the dedicated Animal Control Officers across the 18th District and throughout Connecticut.
These officers work tirelessly to protect animals, reunite lost pets with their families, provide education to the community, and enforce local and state animal welfare laws. Their compassion and commitment often go unnoticed-but they are true advocates for those who can't speak for themselves.
A special thank you to the ACOs serving our communities in Groton, Stonington, North Stonington, Plainfield, Griswold, Preston, Sterling, and Voluntown. Your work makes a real difference, and we are grateful for your service!
