Editor, Gazette-Journal:

I would like to urge our county’s residents to Vote Yes for Gloucester.

Gloucester’s Nov. 7 election ballot contains a bond referendum that would fund projects to keep our community safer, renovate for better schools, and improve our parks and recreation facilities. Voting YES authorizes our Gloucester Board of Supervisors to seek bonds totaling $39.7 million to pay for several longstanding county needs. Our county could then finish these projects much sooner, rather than waiting until they have passed the crisis level and cost more.

Investing wisely in our community is a good thing for Gloucester and for our future. We have an opportunity to come together by voting in favor of our schools, parks, and volunteer fire departments.

Visit VoteYesforGloucester.com to learn more, and then let’s vote “Yes” on Nov. 7!
