She will fight to advance more than $3 million in community project funding for wastewater, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure in southern Indiana through the appropriations process.
Occurrences
Congresswoman Erin Houchin announced today that $2 million in Community Project Funding for the McAlpine Shoreline Protection Phase II project in Clarksville advanced through the House Appropriations Committee after previously passing the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Subcommittee.
Evidence
Houchin said six Community Project Funding requests totaling more than $5 million were approved by the House Appropriations Committee after subcommittee approval. The release says the projects include $1 million for Versailles sanitary sewer improvements and $700,000 for Bloomington Dillman sanitary sewer improvements, and that the projects are still moving through the appropriations process before any funding is finalized.
Houchin announced that seven Community Project Funding requests totaling more than $7.8 million for Indiana's Ninth District were approved by the House Appropriations Committee after previously clearing the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee.
Assessments
The promise was to fight to advance more than $3 million for wastewater, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure through the appropriations process, not necessarily to complete final enactment. Evidence shows Houchin obtained House Appropriations Committee approval for more than $5 million in infrastructure projects in Indiana's 9th District, including sewer and wastewater items, after subcommittee approval. That exceeds the promised dollar threshold and constitutes clear advancement through the federal appropriations process during her current term.
