Today, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) nominated 20 projects in Washington's 1st Congressional District for dedicated Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27) funding. The projects, totaling over $52 million, include road and trail upgrades, water infrastructure projects, and public safety improvements.
Members of Congress can submit local projects for dedicated federal funding. Project submissions came directly from non-profit, city, county, and Tribal entities. The projects are vetted and funding amounts are negotiated as a part of the annual government funding process.
Since this process was allowed again in 2021, DelBene has secured over $60 million for 55 projects in Washington.
"These 20 projects would improve services, make communities safer, and create jobs by investing in critical programs to strengthen Washington's 1st Congressional District and the region," said DelBene. "They include fixes for our roads, enhancements to public safety, support for education, and drinking water improvements. These investments are critical in meeting the needs of our growing region, and I will work to deliver these important federal resources."
The 20 community projects include:
