Transcript. What follows is a transcript of the video above, in Matthew McGroarty’s own words. It has not been rewritten, and no part of it was drafted for them.
I think Westport is a great place to raise a family because it offers a little bit of everything. Schools are outstanding, there are countless opportunities to get involved in sports, the arts, and other community activities. And there are beautiful parks, beaches, and outdoor spaces where families can spend a lot of time together. What really stands out to me though is a sense of community. People genuinely support one another and there are always local events that bring families together. Growing up in Westport gave me a safe, supportive environment where I was able to learn, grow, and build lifelong friendships. And that's what makes it such a special place to call home.
