Assemblyman Mike Norris (R,C-Lockport) attended a press conference in Albany, led by Senate and Assembly Minority Conference members and community representatives, to discuss rural equity in New York State and renew calls for its improvement. Norris emphasized the importance of bipartisan support for initiatives aimed at enhancing rural equity.

"Promoting and improving rural equity statewide need to be top priorities on both sides of the aisle," said Norris. "Our rural communities must have the funding and strategies necessary to revitalize infrastructure, economic development, tourism, small businesses, emergency services and more."

Norris highlighted his sponsorship of several proposals designed to address these issues. He also co-sponsored additional measures aimed at supporting rural communities.

"I am proud to support several proposals that will not only put our rural communities back on the map but also have the backs of the people who call them home. Together, we can improve rural New York state," concluded Norris.
