Carroll

Throughout this past year, Congressman Space has fought to provide economic development not only for Carroll County, but also for the entire region. Listed below you will find some of the projects that will make a significant impact on the lives of residents living in Carroll County:

• Listening to Community Concerns – Congressman Space hosted two listening sessions in Carrollton, one to address the concerns of my constituents and the other to see and hear about the particular needs of farmers in the area.
• Investing in Community Life – The Carroll County Community Center has been awarded $294,000 that Congressman Space requested to construct a community center facility that will include offices, meeting spaces, and a kitchen.
• Saving the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) – Congressman Space worked in Congress to reverse drastic proposed budget cuts for the ARC. The Commission has been an economic engine since President John F. Kennedy set in motion its creation in the 1960s. In fact, in 2007 Congress actually increased the ARC funding to $73 million, the first increase in nearly a decade.

Congressman Space will continue working to ensure that the 18th District receives the support necessary to spur economic growth, maintain a functional infrastructure, and meet the needs of residents.
