Today, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) nominated 15 community projects in Washington’s 1st Congressional District for dedicated Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) funding. The projects, totaling over $49 million, include community centers, public safety improvements, and environmental sustainability projects. They will help expand safe, reliable transportation options, improve local infrastructure, and promote access to locally grown food. 

“The 15 projects I’m nominating today will help improve the quality of life in Washington communities by addressing key issues such as public safety, environmental sustainability, and economic development,” said DelBene. “After a rigorous vetting process, I am nominating these projects for dedicated FY24 funding to provide much-needed resources and opportunities for growth and development in our communities."

Similar to the last two federal fiscal year funding negotiations, the House and Senate must reach an agreement on the FY24 package, which will determine which projects are ultimately approved and how much they are funded for. DelBene secured $19.4 million for all 15 projects that she nominated in the FY23 government funding law.  

Project submissions came directly from non-profit, city, county, and Tribal, entities. More information about the House FY24 government funding process can be found here.
