Senator Stabenow Announces Support for Van Buren Community Center

U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow, Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, today announced support for the Van Buren United Civic Organization. This funding comes through the USDA's Rural Development Community Facility Grant program, which funds critical infrastructure in rural communities across the country. The $7,125 grant will be used to help the community center purchase a new HVAC system and make other building improvements.

"The community center is an important resource for families in Van Buren," said Stabenow. "Today's announcement is one example of the role that rural development plays in helping rural communities maintain the quality of life across Michigan."

Senator Stabenow is Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, which oversees the USDA and its Rural Development program.
