WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Congressman Max Miller (OH-07) today announced that he is advocating for more than $45 million in funding for fifteen projects that are important to Northeast Ohio. These projects are high priorities for local communities across Ohio’s Seventh Congressional District and will support improved public safety, critical infrastructure, and economic development.
Congressman Miller and his team worked with local elected officials, police and fire chiefs, and other local leaders to identify projects that would bring significant value to Northeast Ohio. Miller will continue to work closely with all recipients, should their projects be funded, to ensure that all taxpayer dollars are spent properly.
The Community Project Funding process allows Members of Congress, rather than bureaucrats in the Biden administration, to direct existing federal resources to projects important to their local communities. Community Projects come from existing funding streams and do not increase federal spending.
In fiscal year 2024, Congressman Miller secured more than $17 million for fifteen total projects.
