Assessments
Official EPA FY2026 Community Grants implementation guidance says the FY2026 Consolidated Appropriations Act was signed on January 23, 2026 and identifies multiple Minnesota Sixth District hard-infrastructure projects for funding, including Sartell, St. Francis, and Laketown Township. Because these were Emmer-requested district projects and the appropriations law was enacted while he remained in federal office, the promise to bring back federal funds for local hard infrastructure projects in the district is best scored as delivered in the same term.
