Washington, DC — The House passed part of its annual appropriations package in a “minibus” that included key wins for the Fourth District. Included in passage was funding for Community Project Funding (CPF) requests sponsored by Congressman Auchincloss.
“The Massachusetts Fourth, from Fall River to Brookline, is a powerhouse of talent and work ethic,” said Auchincloss. “These critical funds will make our communities cleaner, stronger, and safer. Investing in infrastructure and getting localities the funds they need to reach their full economic potential will help our District and Commonwealth reach the next level.”
