We're celebrating culture this Hispanic Heritage Month in addition to honoring generations of resilience, creativity, and impact. Let’s uplift, honor, and keep making history together as our Hispanic and Latino American populations continue to grow in Waterbury and the rest of the state.

The state is proudly showcasing our Puerto Rican pride and heritage. Waterbury hosted its first Puerto Rican parade in nearly 25 years. Our vibrant and passionate Puerto Rican community was brimming with pride as we marched on our city streets.

Nearly 200 residents are scrambling to find, relocate, and transition to new living arrangements after learning Abbott Terrace Health Center is closing. Employees at the facility are also looking for new work.

The state has set up an entire webpage dedicated to assisting flood victims. I joined UConn students on a small business walking tour where we learned they will receive a 15% when they shop there.

A new apartment complex just opened in Waterbury with affordable and market rate housing on Linden Street in the Hillside neighborhood.

Governor Lamont is allocating some state funding to support small businesses that experienced damage from last week's flooding. The most culturally diverse festival in New England is coming back on Saturday, September 28.

I encourage drivers to slow down for students and school buses as kids return to school for the new academic year.

Buses have replaced trains on Metro-North’s Waterbury Branch Rail Line after historic floods caused major damage.
