Tenney Announces FY23 Community Project Funding Submissions

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-22) today announced that she has selected 15 projects to submit to the House Appropriations Committee for consideration as part of the fiscal year 2023 (FY23) Community Project Funding (CPF) process. The projects will benefit communities around New York’s 22nd District by supporting local police, ensuring access to clean water, improving facilities for mental health services, and much more.

The CPF process allows localities and non-profits to submit requests for federal funding for high-priority community projects in New York’s 22nd Congressional District. Tenney’s office received more than 100 funding requests from applicants across the 22nd District for a range of projects, making the selection process for 15 available slots extremely competitive. Final submissions were chosen based on a range of factors, including a demonstration of community support as well as how well they fit with the terms of the available federal funding programs.

The projects Tenney supported are listed below, each of which fell into one of three categories: (1) water infrastructure improvements; (2) research and economic development; and (3) health care services and public safety. For any award that may be granted, Tenney’s office will work closely with all recipients to ensure federal funds are spent appropriately and in the interest of the American taxpayers.

As part of the FY22 CPF process last year, Tenney submitted 10 projects for consideration. Eight of the projects, totaling more than $12 million, were included in the final spending bill, and the communities are beginning to receive the funding now.
