WASHINGTON, D.C. – On April 26, U.S. Congressman Mike Flood announced that he had requested funding for projects in Madison in Platte Counties. The Congressman’s funding requests come as a part of the submission process for Community Project Funding (CPF), a congressionally directed spending program for projects with broad community support. 

“The Community Project Funding program allows Members of Congress to directly connect community-supported projects with federal funding,” said Congressman Flood. “Most often, grant applicants must apply to federal agencies and compete against requests from bigger states. CPF gives communities across the First Congressional District another opportunity to receive the support we need to build the infrastructure and research facilities necessary for the future.”

The projects under consideration include: 

• Northeast Nebraska Innovation Studio and Fabrication Lab in Madison County: $750,000
• 23rd Street Reconstruction in Platte County: $3.025 million

The office elected to accept submissions from municipalities, counties, and educational institutions. Projects were submitted to the Office of Congressman Mike Flood from across Nebraska’s First Congressional District. Once submitted, the office reviewed the requests before selecting submissions to the appropriate Appropriations Subcommittee. All projects received by the office were found to be eligible and were submitted.
