Landsman Delivers $15M for 15 Southwest Ohio Projects in Federal Government Funding Bills

Beth Callahan Editor

LEBANON, OH -- The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the Fiscal Year 2024 appropriations bills to fund the federal government through September 30, 2024. Included in these government funding bills is $15,006,829 in Community Project Funding that Congressman Landsman secured for 15 local, community-led projects across Southwest Ohio.

The 15 projects Congressman Landsman advocated for and which will now receive federal funding range from economic development initiatives and roadway improvements, to water infrastructure, affordable housing, and more.

Each year, members of Congress are able to implement the Community Project Funding process, which allows them to solicit applications from the community for local projects in need of funding assistance. In March 2023, Congressman Landsman began his Community Project Funding process, accepting more than 50 applications for Community Project Funding, and submitting 15 to move forward in the process.

All 15 projects Congressman Landsman submitted were included in the Fiscal Year 2024 government funding bills which have now passed the House, will soon pass the Senate, and then will be signed into law by the president this week.
