From the office of Congressman Malinowski:


"Platinum Star Cleaning Services owner Aaron Coleman started cleaning out Phillipsburg's Union Station as a service to the town. Now, he’s working with community members to bring the train station back to life & drive tourism through revitalization plans. He chatted with Tom to see how Congress can help."
