Evidence
Congressman Shri Thanedar is pleased to announce that the EPA will be delivering $2 million in federal dollars to the City of Dearborn Heights for lead service and water meter replacement. This money was part of the Community Project Funding requests that Rep. Thanedar made for FY 2024, totalling $15 million.
Congressman Shri Thanedar invites members of the media and the public to a press conference detailing the successful allocation of over $15 million in Community Project Funding within Michigan's 13th Congressional District.
The FY24 Community Project Funding table lists multiple Michigan 13th District projects requested by Thanedar, including I-75 Overbuild Project ($1,879,000), Romulus Community Service Road Infrastructure Project ($500,000), Michigan Department of Transportation ($500,000), Green Alleyways Reconstruction ($965,000), Invest Detroit Foundation - Detroit Neighborhood Revitalization ($850,000), Highland Park-Detroit Community Response Center ($500,000), Focus: Hope - Workforce Development and Education ($500,000), and City of Grosse Pointe Park Extreme Emergency Relief Valve ($1,666,279).
The office says Community Project Funding allows Members of Congress to request direct federal funding for specific projects benefiting the communities they represent, and notes that programmatic requests can create more grant opportunities or send more federal funds directly to Michigan's 13th District.
Assessments
The promise was broad: to continue bringing critical federal resources back to Michigan's 13th District. The evidence shows same-term delivery, including an official 2025 release stating Thanedar delivered $2 million to Dearborn Heights through FY2024 Community Project Funding and a 2024 office statement that more than $15 million in Community Project Funding had been allocated within the district. The appropriations evidence also shows multiple district-specific federal funding requests. Because the promised outcome was continued federal resource delivery, not passage of a specific bill or funding threshold, the documented federal allocations and delivered funds satisfy the commitment.
