I was pleased to participate in the groundbreaking for the Methuen Readiness Center recently. We had Major General Joseph C. Carter, the Adjutant General of the Massachusetts National Guard on hand, as well as Congresswoman Niki Tsongas and Lt. Governor Tim Murray. The project has moved along due to the great work of Congresswoman Tsongas, who has secured $22 million dollars of federal money for this Readiness Center. This is a great project for Methuen, and will make effective use of the site of the Armory on Lowell Street.
