Blumenthal and Murphy tout $33 million for Connecticut projects

In an August 6 press release Senators Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal announced that the next three federal Appropriations bills will contain $33 million in funding for projects in the state bringing their combined earmarked spending for the state to $109.6 million if the current bill is passed.

“As a member of the Appropriations committee, my priority is to work with people across Connecticut to identify and secure funding for the projects that make a real difference in our state. I’m proud to have worked with Senator Blumenthal to ensure our federal dollars invest in workforce development programs to give people the skills to secure good-paying jobs, expand access to health care, support the growth of new small businesses, and make major investments in improving infrastructure. I’ll keep working to make sure these bills are signed into law and the $109.6 million for Connecticut projects in the budget make it across the finish line,” said Murphy.

“This $33 million in federal funding will support critical Connecticut projects across diverse areas – ranging from small business support to innovative health initiatives to crucial environmental upgrades. This committee approval is a significant step toward making these projects a reality for our residents and I will continue working alongside Senator Murphy to ensure these transformative investments are delivered to Connecticut,” said Blumenthal.
