This month, I announced that the $22,932,519 in Community Project Funding that we previously secured for Georgia’s 13th District in the House spending bills has been included in the final 2023 appropriations government funding package.
The 15 projects that directly benefit Georgia’s 13th District residents include:
- $260,000 for the Atlanta Legal Aid Clayton County Office
- $2,000,000 for the Austell-South Cobb Transfer Center
- $900,000 for the Chattahoochee Riverlands – Bike/Pedestrian Bridge Feasibility Study
- $2,500,000 for the City of College Park for a South East Sewer Wastewater Pump Station Project

- $1,000,000 for the Clayton Justice Center Transit Hub
- $750,000 for the Clayton State University, Morrow, GA for environmental studies research, including equipment and technology

The twelve-bill government funding package creates good-paying American jobs, strengthens our transit and transportation systems, grows opportunities for the middle class and small businesses, and provides a lifeline for working families here in the district and across the nation.
