Background on Community Funding Projects

Each year, Members of Congress may direct federal funding to a limited number of community projects through the appropriations process. These projects are reviewed by the House Appropriations Committee and must meet strict transparency and accountability requirements before being included in federal appropriations legislation.

Background on Rio Vista Fire Station Community Service Building

The Rio Vista fire station and emergency operations center project will improve emergency management and preparedness capabilities by funding a new sustainable, secure, strategically located and fully interoperable fire station and Emergency Operations Center. It will provide a fully capable facility to support command, control, and coordination of multi-agency responses to major disasters or emergencies.
