The appropriations explanatory statement identifies both promised projects, Lexington's Joint Fire and Police Public Safety Center and Kannapolis turn lane construction, with $5 million total in federal funding and McDowell listed as the requester. That matches the promise to secure federal funding for public safety investments in Lexington and Kannapolis.
