On Feb. 22, Gov. Brian Kemp (center) announced more than $422 million in awards that will ensure Georgia communities in high-need areas have reliable and safe drinking water, and wastewater systems. The City of Rincon was designated for one of the largest amounts — $7,374,685.36. On Friday during a campaign stop at The Local on Laurel In Springfield, Kemp, along with Reps. Bill Hitchens (far left) and Jon Burns (far right), presented a ceremonial check in that amount to Rincon Mayor Ken Lee (second from left) and Rincon City Councilman Patrick Kirkland (second from right).
