Community Project Funding Requests FY26
Local leaders and communities in NY-24 are best equipped to determine how local funds should be spent. For too long, special interests have influenced federal funding decisions, sidelining the real needs of our communities. That’s why I support the Community Project Funding program—it helps return taxpayer dollars to our region for investments shaped by local priorities.
I am firmly committed to making sure that any federal funds secured for our region are used transparently and responsibly. Like all federal programs, Community Project Funds must meet the highest standards of accountability, and I will ensure that all recipients uphold those standards.
This year, the 15 projects I backed went through a rigorous selection process, involving detailed consultation with community stakeholders. My priorities remained consistent and focused on three key criteria:
- Clear community backing and strong local partnerships;
- Tangible benefits to local areas, especially underserved communities; and
- A well-defined plan to use the funds promptly and for their intended purpose.
The projects I supported are listed below, each of which fell into one of four categories: (1) water infrastructure improvements; (2) providing essential public facilities; (3) public safety; and (4) community revitalization. For any award granted, I will ensure these federal funds are spent appropriately and in the best interest of American taxpayers, especially NY-24 residents.
