Scott wrote to House Appropriations leaders: "I am requesting funding" for the UGA Tifton peanut research processing and storage equipment replacement project in Fiscal Year 2027.
Assessments
The promise was specifically to request federal funding for UGA Tifton peanut research processing and storage equipment replacement in FY 2027, not necessarily to secure final enacted funding. Evidence shows Austin Scott listed the matching UGA Tifton project as an FY 2027 Community Funding Request and signed a March 19, 2026 certification stating he was requesting $958,700 for the project. That satisfies the promised action during his current federal House term.
