From Income to Empire: Creating a Business that Supports YOU!
San Bernardino County will receive nearly $7 million in federal funding to support a series of infrastructure and public safety improvements across the region.
The funding, secured by members of the county’s congressional delegation, will help pay for upgrades to roads, animal shelters, and wastewater and sewer infrastructure, according to a statement posted on the county’s website.
Behavioral health programs and the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department search and rescue team will also receive a portion of the funding.
“This funding demonstrates what is possible when local priorities are elevated to the federal level,” said Supervisor Dawn Rowe, chair of the Board of Supervisors, in the statement. “We appreciate our congressional delegation securing federal resources that will have long-term benefits for San Bernardino County.”
The funding is classified as Community Project Funding, a practice formerly known as earmarking. Community Project Funding allows members of Congress to secure federal dollars for projects in their districts, provided the requests are submitted during the annual federal appropriations process, according to the statement.
