Evidence

For Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27), the House Committee on Appropriations allowed each Member to submit up to 20 Community Project Funding (CPF) requests for their specific Congressional district. Below, in alphabetical order by recipient, are the MA-08 CPF requests submitted by Congressman Lynch for the FY27 appropriations cycle. ... The culvert removal and channel and floodplain restoration will help re-establish natural flow, improve drought and flood resilience, reconnect wetlands, and reduce unnatural high-water levels contributing to flooding and infrastructure damage. ... The funding will advance permitting, design, site investigation, alternatives analysis, public outreach, and engagement activities for the Boston-Cambridge Riverwalk Construction at Science Park ... This project will ... improve the ecological conditions of the Charles River ... and establishing an inclusive connection point between Boston and Cambridge.

Lynch submitted FY27 CPF requests that explicitly target flood resilience, watershed restoration, shoreline protection, and riverwalk/ecological improvements in his district, which is concrete effort toward the promise but not proof of awarded funds yet.

The promise was to fund green infrastructure or climate-resiliency initiatives in local communities. Lynch secured federal Community Project Funding in the FY2024 appropriations laws, including a specific climate resiliency project in Weymouth and other local projects tied to confronting the climate crisis. Because the funding was enacted while he remained in federal office and he is credited with securing the district-directed funds, this qualifies as delivered in the same term. Later FY2027 submissions further show continued effort but are not needed to establish delivery.
