Rep. Calvert Highlights $18.6 Million in Local Projects Funded in the Fiscal Year 2022 Appropriations Bill
Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42) highlighted the inclusion of $18.6 million in Community Project Funding requests from the 42nd Congressional District he supported in the Fiscal Year 2022 Appropriations bill which was approved by the House of Representatives by a bipartisan vote.
"I'm happy to share that significant funding was included in the recently passed appropriations bill that will fund a number of important projects in the 42nd Congressional District," said Rep. Calvert. "Throughout the appropriations process I worked together with project sponsors to advocate for the value and need for these critical investments in our communities. These resources will now help build critical infrastructure, address healthcare challenges, and help address our homelessness crisis in our region. As a senior member of the Appropriations Committee I believe the new, transparent Community Project Funding process is far superior to allowing unelected bureaucrats to dole out federal tax dollars. I know the needs of my district and am proud to stand behind these vital funding requests."
