A bipartisan bill passed by Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump last week will provide more resources to find treatment and cures for childhood cancer.
The Childhood Cancer STAR Act is designed to help advance both research and treatments for pediatric cancer. “America’s children are our future, and this is another important step to help deliver hope and cures to young patients and their families,” said U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson, R-8th and a co-chairman of the congressional Pediatric Trauma Caucus.

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA): “Together, we are transforming the VA into a more transparent, efficient, and accountable institution. #VAMISSIONAct”
Congressman, Richard Hudson, recently toured the Southern Pines Brewing Company and the Heritage Flag Company in Southern Pines. Hudson was there to learn more about their operations and discuss the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
“Because of their passion and hard work, these small businesses already make a huge impact on our economy,” said Hudson. “The Heritage Flag Company is doing tremendous things in our community and puts new meaning behind American made.”
Last week’s announced Opportunity Zones by the U.S. Treasury translates into another boost for the Albemarle Business Center (ABC) and those companies that invest in the project.

U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson (NC-08) championed the efforts as necessary for successful economic development in distressed areas.
