On April 29th the City of Seadrift was visited by two regional directors from Senator Ted Cruz’s office. They received a warm welcome from Seadrift’s city employees as well as from the Seadrift Mayor.

The purpose of their visit was to find out what was happening in the community and if there was any assistance that they could provide.

Topics discussed were ongoing projects that were disaster related as well as future projects that were needed as the result of anticipated growth in the city. Projects that would be growth related would include water, sewer, streets, and drainage.

Growth in Seadrift has been more steady here in recent years than in the past several years. There have been numerous homes replaced through various grants over the past three years and there have been a number of new homes built in the City.

R.W. Bray, the gentleman on the left in the above photo, noted that it was amazing how Seadrift had experienced progress in the past 10 years. He credited God with having His hand on Seadrift! This is in spite of past disasters that the city had experienced.
