I was pleased to join Howell Public Schools, local leaders and community members earlier this week for the groundbreaking of the district’s new community center! Located on the Howell High School campus, this facility will provide new opportunities for students, families and residents to stay active, participate in community activities and connect with one another. From its walking track to its turf field, the center will serve the Howell community for years to come. Congratulations to Howell Public Schools and everyone who helped make this milestone possible. It was a pleasure to celebrate this investment in our students and community, and I look forward to seeing the project take shape! #Howell #HowellPublicSchools #HighlanderNation #CommunityCenter #CommunityConnections #Groundbreaking #LivingstonCounty #Michigan
