How to resolve AdBlock issue? ALBANY/ Saratoga County — Congressman Paul Tonko this week announced 15 community development and improvement projects across New York’s 20th Congressional District that he submitted to the House Committee on Appropriations in a bid to bring direct federal investment to the region under the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Community Project Funding process.
A number of the selected projects are in Saratoga County.
Under guidelines issued by the Appropriations Committee, each Representative may request funding for up to 15 projects in their community for Fiscal Year 2024—although not all projects are guaranteed to receive funding. Projects are restricted to a limited number of federal funding streams, and only state and local governments and eligible non-profit entities are permitted to receive funding.
“Each of these 15 projects was chosen from many dozens of stellar applications and put through a rigorous, thorough selection process by my staff and myself,” Tonko said, in a statement.
Projects submitted by Rep. Tonko include:
• Crescent Ave. Connector, 474 Broadway, 1st Floor, Suite 11, Saratoga Springs. Amount Requested: $300,000.
• Moreau Emergency Squad Building Expansion, Moreau Emergency Squad, Inc. Amount Requested: $2 million.
