Bridgeport received $1.5 million in the recent state budget to fund youth organizations that focused on gun violence prevention, extracurricular education and job training. State Senator Marylin Moore, a Democrat, said the investment in these programs has the potential to create positive opportunities for young people.
“I ve heard from many people in the community about what we need for our children. Many times, it s about jobs. Many times, it s about education,” Moore said at a recent town hall with Bridgeport youth groups. “I want to focus on all the positive things and not the things that have gone wrong with the community or what we don t have, but really focus on the glass being full.”
