WASHINGTON, DC – During next week’s District Work Period, Congressman G. K. Butterfield (NC-01) will crisscross the district to highlight tax season, economic development, and Black History Month.
On Tuesday, Congressman Butterfield will be joined by federal and state officials at events in Greenville and Louisburg to promote awareness of a Free File tax program North Carolinians can access to prepare and file their taxes for free. The Free File program is a partnership between the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and brand name tax software companies that provides eligible taxpayers free use of their tax software products.
On Wednesday, Butterfield will tour Halifax Community College and participate in the college’s “Saluting Our Local African-American Heroes” celebration in recognition of Black History Month. Later in the day, he will attend the Nash Street Lofts Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. Congressman Butterfield was integral in helping the Nash Street Lofts project secure a $550,000 federal grant for the development of the historic building.
The Congressman will close the week by keynoting the 22nd Annual U.S. Department of Agriculture Employees’ Celebration luncheon, where he will focus his remarks on the Civil Rights Movement and the Voting Rights Act. Following the luncheon, Butterfield will visit the Durham Housing Authority to tour many of the new U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development-funded projects currently underway.
