U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright, D-8, Moosic, a key project champion said, “This is the moment we’ve been waiting for, and preparing for. It’s an exciting time. It’s like we’re in a high stakes horse race and it’s time to go into the starting gate. We’re about to find out if years of hard work and preparation are going to pay off.”
