In June, Rep. Schrier announced that six of her requested CPF priorities were included in the Interior and Agriculture initial funding bills. With today’s news, Rep. Schrier had all 10 of her priorities included in the House Appropriations’ bills, totaling $9,727,730 funding for 8th District projects. The bills will be considered on the House floor later this month.

“I am so happy that I could go to bat for the 8th District by including these important projects in this year’s government funding bill,” said Rep. Schrier. “Community Project Funding provides the opportunity to directly identify projects that are most important for our district and state. Local governments and nonprofits know our communities’ needs best, and that is why I went directly to them for recommendations about what our federal budget should prioritize. I am especially grateful to my Advisory Board for their dedication to our district and for prioritizing such tremendous projects. I’m thrilled that all 10 of my requested projects received funding. This is a testament to just how much the projects will benefit their communities, and I will keep pushing to make sure they are included in the final funding package.”
