Can you believe Labor Day holiday is already upon us. Labor Day was first created in 1894 as a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers made to America’s prosperity and strength. This brings to my mind all the hard-working people who work to serve the citizens of Richmond and contribute to make Richmond a better place to live, work and play. Thank You, City of Richmond employees for your daily commitment to the citizens of Richmond! Enjoy your Labor Day holiday- stay safe and cool.
