Washington, DC — Today, Congressman Brandon Williams (NY-22), announced that 12 out of 15 Fiscal Year 2024 Community Project Funding (CPF) requests he submitted were approved by the House Appropriations Committee. The 12 approved funding requests total $20,567,857 that Rep. Williams expects to return to fund local community projects. The House Appropriations process will now move for a full vote on the House Floor.
