BINGHAMTON – U.S. Rep. Marc Molinaro (NY-19) announced he is requesting $41 million in federal funding for community development projects in New York’s 19th Congressional District.

Each year, the House Appropriations Committee collects community development project requests from Members of Congress for consideration in the upcoming appropriations bill. These requests direct funding to local government or non-profit entities to carry out specific projects that are eligible for federal support and benefit the local community.

This year, Rep. Molinaro is requesting that the House Appropriations Committee approve $41 million in federal funding for community projects in New York’s 19th Congressional District. Funding from Rep. Molinaro’s requests will go toward projects that improve roadways and water infrastructure, provide housing to veterans, expand mental health care, and help EMS agencies upgrade equipment and facilities.

Rep. Molinaro said, “I’m fighting to secure investments in Upstate New York and uplift our communities. These transformative projects will improve our infrastructure, provide essential services to our veterans, expand mental health care, and enhance the quality of life for all residents. I am immensely proud to be working to making Upstate New York a better place to live, work, and raise a family.”

Included in the list of funding requests, Rep. Molinaro included a request for $2,473,437 in federal funding for the City of Norwich to replace the sewer system.
