Congressman Clyburn Delivers $155 Million to the 6th District
With the House passage of the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2022, of the $373+ million to fund community projects in South Carolina, nearly $155 million of that is designated for projects in the Sixth Congressional District. The package also includes additional funding for key priorities like broadband, health care, transportation, housing, historic preservation, and the “10-20-30” initiative to target resources to communities in need.
For the first time in 12 years, the package includes projects requested by communities that Members of Congress have supported with direct federal resources.
“Passage of this federal funding package is a significant accomplishment for President Biden. It marks another bipartisan, bicameral package and ensures the government continues to function and provides necessary resources to build a better America,” Congressman Clyburn said. “I am especially pleased community projects are funded through this package to cut through red tape and directly address locally-identified needs.”
