That’s the view of MEP Kathleen Funchion who has warned that the region is missing vital opportunities to develop its economies and communities due to a policy that doesn’t adequately acknowledge and reflect the its unique aspects.
Her comments came during a recent exchange with Commissioner Elisa Ferreira of the Committee for Regional Development.
MEP Funchion told KCLR news it was a helpful conversation and she detailed to the Commissioner how there’s a lack of funding in the South East Region and that she intends on pushing for more funding and resources.
