Projects are ‘keystone’ to support the rejuvenation and sustainability of Tangier Island

Leo Radkowski from A and N Electric Cooperative presented planned infrastructure improvements for Tangier Island, funded by a $2.3 million Virginia DEQ grant. This includes replacing aging fuel storage tanks, enhancing wastewater treatment, and installing floodgates to mitigate flooding. While funding constraints may limit some projects, further grants are being pursued to address shortfalls.
