Local community projects to receive direct federal funding.
The House Appropriations Committee in Washington launched a new initiative allowing Members of Congress to advocate for federal funding for 10 community projects in their congressional districts. Here’s a recent list of the seven projects, nearest to our community, that will receive federal funding in the coming months.
Ingham County:
- Lansing Police Department: $1.3 million to support a Crisis Assessment Team
- Lansing Community College: $400,000 for the Mobile Healthcare Learning Initiative Project
- Williamston: $3 million to replace the oldest, least reliable water mains
- Mason: $3.5 million to expand and improve the wastewater treatment plant
Livingston County:
- Brighton Area Fire Authority: $1.3 million toward a new Fire Authority headquarters
- Village of Fowlerville: $3.5 million for a water treatment/radium removal plant
- Village of Pinckney/Putnam Township: $2 million to construct a safe crossing along M-36 for school students and a connector for the Lakelands Trail.
The deadline for submission of formal applications for Community Project Funding for fiscal year 2023 was April 22, 2022.
NOTE: Ten transportation infrastructure projects in Michigan’s 8th district are on a list of projects to be considered for funding under the Surface Transportation bill.
