WASHINGTON, DC – This week, Congressman G. K. Butterfield (NC-01) will travel throughout North Carolina’s First Congressional District to participate in a groundbreaking, highlight healthcare initiatives, and encourage educational achievement within the region.
On Tuesday, Butterfield will attend a groundbreaking ceremony for the new facility of Ahoskie Fire Department. The site’s construction was funded in part by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Congressman will later travel to Jackson to celebrate the expansion of the Nurse-Family Partnership into four northeastern counties. The Partnership will provide first-time, income-restricted parents with skills and resources to improve child developmental health, well-being, and self-sufficiency.
On Wednesday, Butterfield will join local seniors at a roundtable discussion on the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid, and prescription drug coverage. Butterfield will use the latter portion of the day to take part in a virtual tour of the new solar panel project at Warren County High School.
The Congressman’s week concludes with an open house celebration of a newly erected residential complex on the campus of Chowan University.
Butterfield’s full public schedule follows.
