I will continue to fight in Congress for crucial funding for South Jersey.
Fight for crucial federal funding for South Jersey infrastructure.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congressman Norcross submitted funding requests for important community projects in New Jersey’s 1st Congressional District to the House Appropriations Committee. The final 20 CPF requests selected and submitted by Congressman Norcross include projects such as reconstructing Pleasant Avenue in Pennsauken, sanitary sewer reconstruction in Audubon, potable water treatment in Bellmawr, and shoreline stabilization for the South Jersey Port Corporation in Camden.
On April 29, 2026, EPA announced the availability of approximately $80 million through the Sewer Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grant program and said it will provide funding totaling $2,511,000 to New Jersey for stormwater and sewer infrastructure needs.
Assessments
Norcross has actively pursued South Jersey infrastructure funding in federal office, including submitting FY27 Community Project Funding requests for roads, sewer, water treatment, shoreline stabilization, and port-related projects in New Jersey's 1st District. That satisfies meaningful effort toward the promise. However, the cited record does not show those specific requests were enacted or that Norcross secured a completed federal funding outcome for South Jersey infrastructure; the EPA funding cited is statewide New Jersey funding and does not establish direct Norcross credit or a South Jersey-specific delivery. This supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
