On Wednesday, Mar. 6, Congressman Jamaal Bowman, Ed.D. (NY-16) announced that the House successfully passed $14.6 million in funding for 11 community projects in New York’s 16th Congressional District. He advocated for these projects as part of the FY2024 Federal Appropriations package. These funds will be used to support communities and organizations in Westchester and the Bronx with much-needed greenspace, climate investments, community programming, economic development, affordable housing, and more.

“I am so proud to deliver over $14 million in federal funding for critical resources and supports across our district,” said Congressman Bowman. “My team and I worked closely with constituents, our local governments, and community groups to submit funding requests that align to the most urgent needs of our neighbors. From improving the Yonkers Greenway, to securing clean buses for Westchester, to revitalizing our downtown areas, each of these projects will uplift our community and provide everyone with the resources they need to thrive. I will keep fighting to bring federal funds back to Westchester and the Bronx and deliver for our incredible district.”

Among the 11 community projects is $959,752 to the Village of Rye Brook for its Sewer Rehabilitation Initiative.
