As part of National Farmers Market Week, we encourage you to visit your local farmers' market to pick up and enjoy locally grown food.

I am thrilled to share that the Guilford Majors (12-and-under) Girls Little League Softball team is headed to the Little League Softball World Series in Greenville, North Carolina, taking place from August 3 through August 10.

Guilford will be receiving funds for two projects - Westwoods West and East River Preserve.

I'm happy to share with you that the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters recently released its Environmental Scorecard report on the recent legislative session and gave me a 100% environmental scorecard rating.

For the third time this summer, Governor Lamont has activated the Extreme Hot Weather Protocol in Connecticut. The protocol is in effect until at least 8 p.m. on Wednesday.

A recent allocation of state funding will go toward preserving open space and creating local community green areas throughout Connecticut.

I wanted to let you know that the location has changed for the End-of-Session Community Forum. I hope you'll join Representative Robin Comey, Senator Christine Cohen, and me on Thursday, July 24, 6 p.m., at Branford Joseph Trapasso Community House.

As farmers face increasing threats from climate change to crops and rising costs to operate their farms, a series of new agricultural tax credits and grants have been put in place.
