Dozens of meetings. Hundreds of phone calls. Mountains of paperwork. The mission is clear. We won’t give up. We won’t be deterred. Our advocacy for the Valley Fire School continues.

Rep. Kara Rochelle applauded the announcement of $1 million in state aid awarded to Derby’s Housing Authority for improvements to Cicia Manor, which provides housing to elderly and disabled residents.
I appreciate all the concerns I have heard regarding the lack of progress with bonding of the Valley Fire School. Nobody is more disappointed than I am in light of the meticulous and aggressive efforts that I have made over the past several months. I want to emphasize that I have been pursuing the Valley Fire School through proper channels to ensure that this project would move forward. I have included a summary of some of the steps I have taken, including submitting the official bond request on February 5th and working with the Department of Administrative Services all spring to get the Valley Fire School’s bid redone, which I accomplished in May of this year. I hope this will properly inform you of my individual efforts and clear up any misinformation you may have.
