State Senator Bert Stedman visited Petersburg on Friday and met with city leaders across the town and discussed project funding needs for the city during the next legislative session. Since Petersburg will be moved to District 32, this will be the last year Stedman will represent Petersburg in the legislature. “I’m glad the governor stepped up and provided harbor funding under the Municipal Harbor Facility Grant,” Stedman told the Pilot.
