WASHINGTON, D.C. – April 2, 2015 – (RealEstateRama) — U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow, Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, today announced support for the Van Buren United Civic Organization.

“The community center is an important resource for families in Van Buren,” said Stabenow. “Today’s announcement is one example of the role that rural development plays in helping rural communities maintain the quality of life across Michigan.”
