From FTCC President Dr. J. Larry Keen’s op-ed in The Fayetteville Observer, Nov. 28, 2021:
“It takes work, sacrifice, courage and a commitment to the well-being of our fellow citizens and institutions to produce immediate and long-term vitality and prosperity!
The six members of Cumberland County’s legislative delegation demonstrated these critical traits during the negotiations that resulted in North Carolina’s first new state budget in three years and an unprecedented $480 million in state support for Cumberland County. Due to the leadership and collective efforts of these legislators, the citizens of our county and our state will have opportunities that will play out in positive ways for decades to come.”
