Senator Booker NJ Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Township of Hopewell To replace a synthetic turf field consisting of removing and disposal of existing worn synthetic turf and installing a 2 layer, 2", cool play surface. Soccer, boys lacrosse, girls lacrosse, and field hockey markings will be inlaid into the field. A synthetic turf field is a versatile, resilient, and durable playing surface that is the answer to the overuse and high maintenance of township grass fields. With many towns building new neighborhoods to house their ever-growing populations or saving the green space they currently have; a turf field is able to accommodate a multitude of sports and activities while preserving excellent playing conditions. One single field is able to be the "home turf" for football, soccer, field hockey and lacrosse, not to mention other recreational sports like kickball leagues, ultimate frisbee and rugby. Turf fields also allow groups and teams to play in many types of weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, or sunshine, as long as you can withstand the temperatures, the game is always ON. The turf field cannot be damaged by adverse weather or overuse. The fields are manufactured and built to withstand year-round, daily activity. Many children and teens had a year of athletics and activities "stolen" from them due to Covid. These kids are eager and ready to get back out on the field. Grass fields will not able to withstand all the additional use or furnish a safe playing environment for them. Mercer NJ $800,000 Website Letter

Senator Brown OH Energy and Water Development Cuyahoga County Euclid Microgrid. This microgrid site was chosen for its concentration of manufacturing businesses with an identified need for energy resiliency. Manufacturers in this area have reported lost productivity and financial losses due to frequent power outages. This project will increase the resiliency of their power supply, while also reducing the manufacturer’s carbon footprint. The project includes rooftop solar and battery backup generation at three host sites and an approximately 1.5 mile long underground distribution/transmission line from an existing substation. The County Utility will build the solar, battery storage, smart grid control systems and local distribution network. These systems will have the ability to island off of the main grid and maintain power during outages, thereby significantly reducing financial losses. The systems will also enable manufacturers to reduce their peak electric loads and participate in emergency demand response programs, providing an overall benefit to the grid. Specifically, the County requires $3m for the physical underground distribution/transmission line associated with the project which is shown on the attached pdf. The County understands that it will be required to provide 50% match. The manufacturing district in Euclid is in a recognized Opportunity Zone. Additionally, the adjoining Tungston Road neighborhood may in the future be able to tap into the microgrid district. The median income in the Tungston Road area in Euclid is approximately $20,000, which is 66% lower than the median household income for the State of Ohio. Cuyahoga County OH $1,500,000 Website Letter

Senator Brown OH Energy and Water Development Corps of Engineers Smale Riverfront Park is the City’s “front yard”; and green gateway to southwest Ohio. The City of Cincinnati partnered with the local corporate community, the major league sports teams that are neighbors to the site, Hamilton County and the Corps of Engineers to develop a plan for the park starting in 1997 and later partnered with these and other stakeholders including the Cincinnati Parks Foundation to fund the park. To date over $100 million has been invested in the park including $15 million of Federal funding starting in 2007, $47 million of private funding, $3.5 million of State funding and over $40 million from the City of Cincinnati. The park has met if not exceeded its original goals of being a catalyst for downtown area development and being a major new recreational asset for the region. It has drawn millions of visitors annually and is the setting for the Cincinnati Reds and Bengals Stadia, the mixed-use commercial and residential development known as The Banks, a gateway to the downtown area, and part of a string of public parks along the riverfront. The funding request is for the design of the last section of park - the western section between the Roebling Suspension Bridge and the west end of the park. Severe river erosion has been causing significant loss of park land along the riverbank and funds are needed to design a hard river edge and bank stabilization. The City currently has $500,000 from a State grant committed to the site but Federal funding is needed to carryout design and engineering plans. Cincinnati OH $1,200,000 Website Letter

Senator Brown OH Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Milton Township Our small, rural township has a two man road crew. They are hard-working, blue-collar employees. During the snowy Ohio winters, our dedicated road crew are often working overtime and faithfully keeping our roads clean and safe for our residents. Our township currently owns two snowplows. The newer model is a 2016 Chevrolet 3500 HD with 51,438 miles. Our second plow truck is a 2008 International Dura Star with 189,568 miles. This second truck has cost the township over $10,000 in repairs during the last two years. Our two man road crew has a little over 19 miles of roadways to maintain. Our township desperately needs a new snowplow truck. We are requesting funds for a new snowplow truck. A new truck would replace the 2008 model. This vehicle would benefit the Township and all who use the roads of this community in Mahoning County. Milton Township OH $132,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Federal Valley Resource Center The Federal Valley Resource Center (FVRC) campus is composed of multiple historic buildings in great need of restoration. The building current programming is offered from is referred to here as the “Main Building”. This was the original school house, built in the 1890’s and added on to in 1920. The Main Building is the primary focus of roofs to repair, the two other roofs need repair as soon as possible, so that damage does not continue to escalate. The “Old Elementary School” was built in 1934, this building is the second priority. The third building, the “Old Wooden School Room” is in need of the most repairs and is the last priority though, it must be repaired soon. Repairing the roofs of these three buildings should be done as soon as possible so that FVRC may continue to expand community services, while preserving great relics of history. To ensure these historic buildings may continue to serve the community they must be protected and restored. This three-step roof project allows systematic replacement of the roofs to buildings at risk of being lost to further damage, allows time to budget and plan for restoration of other portions of this campus. Without capital investment to repair these roofs, these historic facilities risk falling into a state of decline beyond repair. Any funds received will be used fully to repair the roofs, preserving the area's history and allowing the FVRC to continue to provide essential services to the Appalachian region. By reroofing these historic buildings, FVRC will be able to excel beyond the programming currently offered to the public. The thrift store is open four days a week. Weekly, monthly, and on-demand, the foodbank distributes food to over 65 families. Thanks to the public library, FVRC offers password free wifi, available inside and outside of the buildings, allowing 24/7 community access. Free resume building services are offered one evening every month. Monthly, FVRC hosts free performances by regional professional musicians. All year, the music lending library plays an essential role in school children acquiring instruments for the school band. Thanks to funding from a private foundation, FVRC offers quarterly, 8-week, private music instruction on a large variety of instruments, free of charge. Beyond music, FVRC offers free art classes, yoga by donation and hosts an array of fun community events such as an annual cooking of apple butter, where community members learn how to traditionally make apple butter over a fire, preserve it and enjoy. It is projects like these that FVRC believes are vitally important to crafting a better Appalachian Ohio for future generations. FVRC envisions their grounds to extend beyond a space of community gathering and education, but to also incorporate preserving community heritage arts, and serve as a start up business incubator, thus creating local job opportunities for residents in this Appalachian region. The FVRC is multifaceted, providing the community with a variety of assets to be accessible most days of the week, if not daily. Stewart OH $633,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Village of New Concord Project: To purchase a 2024 Sutphen Heavy Duty Custom Pumper for the Village of New Concord for $833,856.00 for basic community fire protection emergency response. The primary purposes of a fire engine include transporting firefighters and water to an incident as well as carrying equipment for firefighting operations. Some fire engines have specialized functions, such as wildfire suppression and aircraft rescue and firefighting, and may also carry equipment for technical rescue. This engine would primarily respond to areas where water supplies are limited and time is of the essence. Currently we operate a 24 year old fire engine with a maintenance budget is becoming untenable. We do not have a reserve fire engine that can be used in its place when the vehicle is down for maintenance. The current 1998 engine needs to be replaced sooner rather than later. Because new engines are so costly, the village has always relied on purchased used vehicles. The Village seeks the purchase of a new (higher initial cost, lower maintenance costs, longer lifespan) versus used (lower initial cost, higher maintenance costs) engine. The Village of New Concord has a critical need to replace its "only" fire engine, which it cannot afford to do without the assistance of an award for this application. • Current Engine- 1998 Pierce. Vehicle originally purchased as an emergency to replace a failed engine. It was a demonstration unit and fit the needs of community at the time, but it has become obsolete and cost inefficient. Some issues with the current unit: • 20-year life expectancy when purchased • Electrical problems from purchase due to new multiplexing system • Several thousand dollars spent to correct issues in the early 2000’s • Replaced ECU in mid 2010’s with rebuilt unit. ECU is at risk of needing replaced due to design of unit. Cost: $25,000.00 • In 2021, $16,000.00 investment made to make vehicle safe to operate for time being. • Repairs expected to last 2-5 years before major overhaul is requirre engine, made possible by a CDS award, would allow the Village to meet its public safety obligations. A financial commitment at this time would address: • 24-month build time • Inflation expected to raise pricing • Designed with future public safety needs • 25-year life expectancy • Meeting current safety standards • Maintaining a quality ISO rating • Fire personnel safety • Fire protection of an entire community Though a community has many needs to submit a grant application for, FIRE PROTECTION, for the Village and the surrounding five townships the New Concord Fire Department serves, with over 12,000 residents and associated businesses and institutions, its as basic a local government responsibility as it gets. Certainly a worthwhile investment for the requested funding assistance. New Concord, Muskingum and Guernsey Counties OH $625,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Mead Township, Belmont County In 2019/2020 the Township was able to purchase new government service trucks through a partnership with the USDA Rural Development Community Facilities Program. This small investment was a big boost for the Township government and their ability to continue to provide top notch services to the residents. The next priority for the Trustees is the construction of a new township government complex to store and maintain the new vehicles, store records and provide safe and healthy office space for the Trustees. The existing services building was built circa 1910 and it is failing to the point that it is now dangerous for employees and members of the public to use for township activities. It has single pane windows, malfunctioning HVAC and one of the exterior walls is bowing and close to collapse. The Township applied for funds through FEMA to fix this structural issue but was denied the funding. This new facility would be a safe place for township tax payers, a much more accommodating and accessible meeting location and the HQ for the township's road and maintenance department.

Senator Brown OH Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Belmont Volunteer Fire Department Our project is to build a new fire station that will hold all apparatus, equipment, and supplies under one roof while providing safety for our firefighters and community. Our current station consists of 2 buildings which have several issues. Both buildings are bowing at the sides and are unstable. The main building has cracks throughout from floor to ceiling. The second building is unfinished on the inside and rodents have been known to chew the wires on the vehicles causing damage and additional repair costs. There is very little room to walk through the bay and our engine is only inches away from the ceiling. Lack of drainage causes water to run to edge creating mold and deterioration of concrete. Turnout gear hangs at the back of the bay which is a health hazard. The carcinogens from the apparatus cling to the fabric. Not only is this a respiratory issue, it can also be a fire hazard. The carcinogens that cling may contain flammable particles and potentially ignite while fighting a fire (like walking into a fire covered in crude oil). This brings us to another shortfall of our current station. We have no room for a commercial gear/hose dryer. We were able to secure a washer/extractor for our turnout gear through the Bureau of Workers Comp. This helps to remove carcinogens, chemicals, and hazardous particles from our turnout gear. After washing, the turnout gear must be hung up to air dry. It can take up to 3 days for it to be completely dry. If turnout gear is worn wet to fight a fire, the firefighter may suffer extreme steam burns. If hoses are not dried properly, they may develop mold which could render them out of service. Our building is used by the Board of Elections for voting purposes. When this takes place, our apparatus must be removed from the bay and sit outside. The Poll Workers show up the evening prior to voting to set up and stay until tear down after voting polls are closed. This process takes approx. 36 hours. During inclement weather, this is not good for our vehicles. We also experience parking issues as we have no parking lot and only a narrow street. Often times, cars block our drives and it can be difficult to get a vehicle out for an emergency. The new station will enable us to keep all apparatus in proper bays with adequate space. There will be drainage in the floors to prevent water and mold issues when washing trucks. Turnout gear will be in a separate room away from the exhausts. There will be adequate separate sleeping quarters for firefighters and gender-separate restrooms and showers. Community room will be utilized for training and meetings. It will also serve as an Emergency Operations Center for the area. Belmont Township, Belmont and Stark County OH $4,385,000 Website Letter

Senator Brown OH Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Village of Somerset Somerset’s Emerald Necklace is an ongoing, phased green space project that aims to provide the residents of the village and the greater Perry County population with a connected and comprehensive recreational experience. The goal of the project is to acquire the CSX abandoned railroad property, open up the existing tunnel and create a hiking trail. Additionally, there is a lot of wetland mitigation that will need to be accomplished before a future bike path can be built on the site. This phase also funds the engineering and design work needed to apply for wetland mitigation and bike path construction. We have completed five phases and have secured $1,776,000 in funding from Clean Ohio Greenspace Conservation Fund and 25% local match funding. We initially created a 36-acre nature preserve on the northeastern edge of the village filled with a spectacular collection of hardwood forest, a healthy wetland environment, and an area of reintroduced grasslands. In addition of providing the village with a distinct public space for enjoying a natural landscape, In another phase, we acquired St. Joseph’s Lake, a 135-acre parcel that was previously owned by the Rush Creek Conservancy District. This lake acts as a back-up water supply and acquiring this parcel was pivotal in ensuring that the Village had autonomy over their own water resources as well as provide the Village with long term viability and sustainability of the community and surrounding environments. St. Joseph’s Lake also provides Somerset with a distinct green destination that is only a couple of miles outside the Village limits and adds to the growing Nature tourism that Somerset offers. This project will preserve & restore stream side forests. Project will provide high quality habitat for plants & animals. Our most recent acquisition was a 41-acre parcel that was previously used as affordable housing in the form of a trailer park. The poor conditions and dilapidated trailer homes were a large motivation for the Village to acquire this land and recondition it for a green space addition to the Emerald Necklace.

Senator Brown OH Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Village of Somerset Jacob Miller's Tavern is the only original building of those that established the Village of Somerset more than 200 years ago and is likely the sole remaining log cabin tavern in Ohio. Approximately 40 miles east of Columbus, this quaint village of 1,500 residents and more than 75 historic-registered structures is located in rolling farmland south of Buckeye Lake and southwest of Zanesville. Through a fascinating history outlined in a comprehensive Historic Structures Report by Schooley Caldwell Associates in 2012, we learned this local treasure had faded from memory and its identity was unknown for decades, primarily because siding camouflaged its log construction. The Tavern was occupied as a dwelling by a series of families -including that of Phillip Sheridan during his childhood, before he became a celebrated Civil War general. Once rediscovered, a historical marker was planted and the Perry County Historical and Cultural Arts Society purchased the building. A public-private collaboration rallied to save the structure, including Hocking College, which envisions an expanded educational presence in the region. The Fermentation Science program will teach students the business of making cider and other distilled products, with food prepared by Hocking College Culinary Arts students. The Jacob Miller's Tavern Group, led by private investors David Wilhelm and Doug Preisse, are bringing the Tavern back to life as the centerpiece of a special events complex, creating a thriving operation that will boost the local economy and provide jobs and support for surrounding businesses. This is Phase II of a public/private partnership project between The Perry County Historical and Cultural Arts Society, Jacob Miller's Tavern Group LLC, the Village of Somerset, and Hocking College, that focuses on restoration, renovation, and development of a regionally and nationally significant historic log structure. The Tavern is a rare surviving example of the type of log structure common in the 18th and 19th century, is the oldest extant building in the Somerset Historic District, placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The building has played a significant role in the economy of Somerset since the 1800's when built as a tavern on Zane's Trace, the first national federally funded road, and continues to be a focal point of discovery and celebration being used as a community space for cultural activities. The project will take the Tavern from a limited use facility in need of stabilization and restoration to that of an impactful cultural community resource.

Senator Brown OH Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Village of Brookside The Brookside Fire Department is located at 875 National Road and the building was built in 1934. In 1936 the worst flood in the history of the building happened and put water on the second floor of the structure. This caused the federal government to establish a 100 Year Flood Plan. Currently the fire department sits in the plan. When the Ohio River reaches flooding at 36 feet this places water in the building. Before this level the department has to start moving a supplies and equipment our of the building and into members garages and homes. This is a lengthy process while at the same time responding to help the community. During this time the emergency vehicles and sitting in a parking lot out of the flood waters. With this funding the department will be located out of the flood waters and gives the community that has been misplaced to this disaster a place to go in our community room. Currently the area has no shelter for disaster including flooding, power outages and other natural disasters. The Village of Brookside and surrounding area of Pease Township that we serve has around 1050 people during the day and 375 structures. The area also has the Bridgeport Schools Athletic Complex in our community. This can bring into up to 2,000 spectators.

Senator Brown OH Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Village of Westfield Center The Greenwich Road Slope Remediation Project is the proposed remediation of the southern embankment slope of Greenwich Road, with respect to protecting the existing sidewalk and roadway from further erosion and undermining. Greenwich Road is oriented east-west and consists of two drive lanes. The project area consists of the portion of Greenwich Road that is supported by an embankment that crosses a small stream valley, approximately 400 LF in length. The unnamed stream flows south under the embankment via a culvert to connect with Camel Creek just north of I-71. A 5’ wide concrete sidewalk runs parallel to the roadway along the south side of the embankment. Concerns of stability are evident based on three utility poles embedded on the south embankment being tilted southward as well as the observation of multiple areas of the existing sidewalk being undermined, leaving gaps between the base of the sidewalk and the underlying subgrade. Concern of the continuing slope failure may result in the loss of the sidewalk and placing Greenwich Road itself in jeopardy. State funds will be used to stabilize the soil by implementing a 2:1 reinforcing embankment slope along the southern side. Village of Westfield Center, Medina County OH $100,000 Website Letter

Senator Brown OH Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Portage County Board of Commissioners (Water Resou In 2016, the Portage County Water Resources Department (PCWR) was approached by the Village of Mantua (Village) because they could no financially maintain their public water and sewer systems for their residents and the were requesting assistance from PCWR. After an extensive evaluation by PCWR and multiple public meetings the Village and Portage County entered into a Utility Transfer Agreement effective in 2021. To protect the current PCWR users a sizable monthly surcharge was added to the Village resident's sewer and water bills to cover the needed improvements that exceeds $13 million dollars (based on a 2018 estimate). The Village, established in the 1840s along the Cuyahoga River, provides water and sewer to approximately 500 households and businesses. The Village is a Low to Moderate Income (LMI) community, with a sizable elderly population (30.9%). The Village water distribution system is comprised of various pipe compositions and ages. Approximately 40 % (18,430 feet) of the it is the original cast iron (CI) pipe installed in 1902 and 35% (17,100 feet) is 4-inch diameter pipe (9,883 feet or 20% is of the 4-inch pipe CI). Four-inch pipe is no longer used in water distribution systems given it's limited capacity for fire flows. There are approximately 53 fire hydrants in the distribution system that range in age from 50 to 119 years old (well over the effective life) and many do not have watch valves which inhibits any repairs on them. The distribution system layout has a multitude of dead ends where water does not circulate that leads to: 1) poor water quality (sediments, bacteria, low chlorine residual); 2) limits water available for firefighting; 3)decreases line pressures on ends; and 4)increases the number of customers without water service during a water main repair. In addition, the the distribution can not support expansion of water service to the surrounding townships given the inadequately sized and condition of the water mains. PCWR performed hydrant flow tests on the system in 2021, where safely possible, and measured residual pressures as low as 28 pounds per square inch (psi) (below the minimum standard of 35 psi). Based on a survey and random excavations performed by the Village, there is no presence of lead service laterals, all reviewed were galvanized metal. However, a galvanized metal lateral has it's own draw backs since they tend to corrode internally over time which limits flow, pressure and causes water discoloration. The scope of this project is to loop the system, replace line valves, pipes, hydrants and sewer laterals to the (right-of way). If a lead service line is discovered during the construction the service lateral will be replaced to the water meter. Alternative construction methods (such as pipe bursting) and routes will be used where possible to minimize repairs to roadways and sidewalks as well as to maintain water service to the Village.

Senator Brown OH Energy and Water Development Corps of Engineers ALRW currently has a 36-inch water transmission main called the Eastern Transmission Line (ETL) supplying water to a pump station. From the pump station there are 36-inch (ETL1) and 42-inch (ETL2) transmission mains supplying water to over 250,000 residents. This project will construct a redundant 42-inch transmission main supplying water to the pump station and a redundant 36-inch ETL1 supply line. Historically, the ETL's were constructed based on the needs of several communities surrounding Avon Lake. Since construction of the ETL's in the late 90's, demand by other communities has increased significantly. These communities have seen growth over the last several years and are expected to grow more over the coming years. Redundancy and resiliency are key to providing reliable drinking water to these communities. This project will achieve redundancy by adding an additional supply main to the pump station. In events of ETL water main failure, redundancy is achieved by having a second main to supply water. Once redundancy is achieved, then resiliency is achieved. Having the ability to provide seamless water service during emergency events is paramount. The new 42- inch ETL transmission main will be inter-connected to the Avon Lake water system for redundancy in the event of an emergency. It will also be inter-connected with the Rural Lorain County Water Authority system and the City of Elyria system.

Senator Brown OH Financial Services and General Government Columbus College of Art and Design Columbus College of Art & Design’s (CCAD’s) Corporate & Community Partnerships Office seeks to transform global culture, commerce, and community through high-impact, community-needs driven partnerships. Each year CCAD partners with many Central Ohio non-profit organizations and social services agencies working to address pressing needs in our community. Recent project partners have included VA Central Ohio Healthcare System, Furniture Bank of Central Ohio, Form5 Prosthetics, Franklin County Municipal Court, Greater Columbus Film Commission, Ohio Department of Higher Education, Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Ohio History Connection, Pelotonia, South Side Family Farms, and ten social enterprise organizations affiliated with SocialVentures. As the only art and design focused institution in this region, CCAD students bring fresh perspectives and specialized skills in areas like design-thinking, entrepreneurship, interior architecture, game design, animation and film production. Establishing the Community Impact Program will enable the college to develop more collaborative, community-needs driven partnerships, and leverage the power of art and design to foster more equitable and prosperous communities. Each semester, CCAD is forced to decline many non-profit and community organizations seeking to work with our students on a strategic challenge facing their organization. When the college develops sponsored projects with our corporate partners, they typically provide a fee that ranges from $5,000 for a weekend charrette to $50,000 for a semester-long engagement. These funds support material costs, visits from subject matter experts, specialized equipment and software, faculty and staff oversight, research travel, print and/or digital documentation, and the dissemination of the final results to the partner and/or the public. Most of our community partners do not have the budgetary resources to support this type of work, and as a non-profit college we can only sustain so many of these incredible opportunities on our own. Currently, the Corporate & Community Partnerships Office has one full-time staff member who manages up to 50 projects per year with dozens of local partners. Columbus OH $350,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Financial Services and General Government United Black Fund of Greater Cleveland The United Black Fund of Greater Cleveland (UBFGC) is proposing to start a training program for promising black entrepreneurs focused on more resilient industries like information technology, manufacturing, professional services, medical technology, and renewable energy. Successful graduates of this program will help re-position black-owned businesses away from the precarious industries like personal services and retail and instead on more resilient businesses with greater prospects to weather the next pandemic or economic downturn and better opportunities for long-term growth and expansion.

The United Black Fund of Greater Cleveland will start a new black entrepreneurial initiative “Building More Resilient Black-Owned Businesses”. The program will be modeled on a very successfgram undertaken by an organization in Cincinnati called MORTAR, with whom UBFGC would engage to help develop and manage the program. Specifically, the program will help promising black entrepreneurs throughout Northern Ohio(including, among others, Cleveland, Akron, Youngstown, and Toledo) build businesses in industries that are better able to thrive in a pandemic or economic downturn like information technology, manufacturing, professional services, medical technology, logistics, and renewable energy. The core components of the program will include management training and coaching, intensive sales and marketing training, financial management and budgeting, employee recruitment and management, and accessing startup and follow on capital. The program is envisioned to last 10-15 weeks. The most promising of the graduates will be awarded start up grants for their new businesses and will be paired with successful entrepreneurs and business leaders who can serve as mentors as they start and run their new businesses.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Ohio Historical Society/DBA Ohio History Connectio This project is to repair the historic observation tower at the Serpent Mound Historical Site. At over 1,000 feet long, Serpent Mound is the largest effigy mound in the world, and among the best-known Indigenous sites in the world. It is a National Historic Landmark and is one of only 19 sites on the U.S. Tentative List for potential future UNESCO World Heritage inscription. Built approximately 1,000 years ago by American Indians near present-day Peebles, Ohio, this figural earthwork in the shape of a large serpent undulates across a small plateau above Ohio Brush Creek and sits near the edge of an ancient meteorite impact crater. Due to the Serpent's size and the sloping terrain, it is difficult to perceive the entire earthwork from the ground. For that reason, in 1908 the Ohio History Connection (then known as the Ohio Archaeological and Historical Society) built a metal observation tower overlooking the site. Visitors from across the globe have ascended the tower for 116 years to see the Serpent, and the tower itself has become a historically significant icon. Although periodic maintenance on the tower has occurred, a structural engineering assessment completed in the winter of 2021-22 concluded that the tower needs significant repair/rebuild in order to be safe. It is therefore closed to the public until these repairs can be funded and completed, much to the disappointment of the approximately 40,000 people who visit the site each year.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Cleveland Water Division This project will result in positive environmental and economic outcomes for our customers. At least 12 communities in our eastern service area are expected to no longer experience discolored water caused by high levels of manganese that result from seasonal hypoxic water in Lake Erie. In addition, Cleveland Water will realize cost savings by minimizing the time and resources spent making treatment adjustments to address dramatically fluctuating hypoxic water conditions and manganese levels. Operational savings translate directly to savings for our customers as they can minimize or even negate the need for rate increases. Based on data from the last 2 years, 12 communities comprising a total population of approximately 200,000 are estimated to directly benefit from this project. This estimate is based on those areas that experienced discolored water in previous years. However, to minimize the impact of discoloration, production from the impacted water treatment plant was reduced and some areas were supplied with water from other treatment plants. Therefore, 200,000 is likely an underestimate of the population that would directly benefit. In total, 400,000 customers are estimated to be supplied from the Nottingham Water Treatment Plant and therefore indirectly benefit from this project. This number is based on water production in proportion to our customer base. In 2021, Cleveland Water produced an average of 206.5 million gallons of water per day (MGD). The Nottingham plant produced an average of 57.1 MGD or 27.65% of total production. Based on a total customer population of 1.45 million people, a corresponding proportion (27.65%) would be 400,090 customers. A successful project will result in the completed construction of a functional intake ring that results in significantly lower levels of manganese measured in both the raw water entering and the treated water leaving the Nottingham plant. More specifically, our objective is the elimination of discolored water from hypoxia manganese from our finished water at Nottingham with the goal of meeting the Health Advisory Levels of 300 and 1,000 parts per billion (ppb) and the Secondary Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 50 ppb at the plant tap during hypoxic events.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Madison County Board of Commissioners The Madison County Board of Commissioners recognizes Summerford as being an unincorporated area in the county in need of sanitary sewer service. There is a significant public health concern due to possible contamination of onsite private wells from onsite private septic systems in high density housing setting. Essentially, most homes set on less than quarter acre lots in close proximity to one another. Madison County has secured $1,825,000 in grants a will pursue 2 others. However, there will be a shortfall and would like to avoid passing this burden on to the consumer. Summerford is a low to moderate income community with a median household income of $51,126.00. Consequently, it has been the goal of the project team to secure 100% of the project cost in grant funding to eliminate any additional financial burden on the residents LMI community. Additionally, this unincorporated area has potential for residential and commercial growth but may be challenged due to the lack of sewer service. Considering its location on US 40 and proximity to I 70 this could be a catalyst for strategic growth in the area. Madison County OH $765,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Canalway Partners This proposal creates an interpretive display from the remains of the Hulett Ore Unloaders, the last full set of components of the hulking machines that dominated the shorelines of the Great Lakes, ensured Cleveland’s position as a prominent lake port, and revolutionized the production of steel thereby changing the way our country developed. The machines that once dotted the shorelines of the Great Lakes are recognized in the Historic American Engineering Record (1979), National Register of Historic Places (1997), Cleveland Landmarks Commission (1993), and by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers as an Engineering Landmark. This inspirational space at Wendy Park on Whiskey Island takes advantage of the waterfront to reimagine the Huletts in a way that connects people to this story while eliciting a sense of wonder at the size and grace of machines that revolutionized Great Lake shipping. A group of dedicated citizens and public interest groups has been leading a 20-year effort to rescue, restore, and display components of the hulking machines. Several early proposals did not materialize either due to control issues at a proposed site, lack of acceptable sites, or the selected site could not support the weight of the components. This proposal has completed extensive geo-technical evaluation to ensure Wendy Park can support the display with permission of the property managers, Cleveland Metroparks. The Hulett Working Group was formed in 2018. In compliance with Section 106 of the Historic Preservation Act, this group of preservation professionals and government agencies attempted to resolve the adverse effects from the dismantling of the Huletts, which occurred in 2000. The group includes representatives from: The US Army Corp of Engineers / Advisory Council on Historic Preservation / Ohio Historic Preservation Office (SHPO / The Ohio History Connection) / Port of Cleveland / Canalway Partners. Concurring parties include: Cleveland Landmarks Commission / Cleveland Restoration Society / Committee to Save Cleveland’s Huletts / National Trust for Historic Preservation, and former Councilman Matt Zone (Ward 15) .

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Fremont The City of Fremont, North Street Sewer Rehabilitation Project will address a high-risk for critical infrastructure failure which services approximately 520 acres (ex: collapse of critical treatment plant components and/ or catastrophic failure of storage pond or water tower). The North Street Sanitary Sewer Main is a significant sanitary sewage interceptor for the City of Fremont. This interceptor also collects sewage from Sandusky County's sanitary sewer collection system which serves a portion of both Sandusky and Rice Townships. The area frequently experiences either sanitary sewer overflows or combined sewer overflows. The project consists of lining approximately 13,000 linear feet of sewer pipe as well as the rehabilitation of several manholes along the sewer main. This lining project will provide much needed structural integrity to the existing sewer as well as reduce groundwater infiltration which will help relieve treatment demands on the Fremont Water Reclamation Center. The subject sewer runs the length of the City of Fremont along much of the northern limit. It serves a wide variety of residential, industrial and commercial properties. Served properties include the Fremont City Schools, the Kessler Industrial Park, the 53 North Industrial Park, and multiple retail developments. This sewer also provides service to residences outside of the city limits by receiving flow from the Sandusky County sewer system. The North Street Sewer serves a population of approximately 4,100.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Euclid The City of Euclid Waterfront Construction, Phase III Development will anchor Euclid’s eastern waterfront boundary by creating new publicly accessible gathering spaces, and also lay the groundwork for future construction of a new Waterfront Beach House, open to the public and set atop a new paddle-craft beach. Phase III is next in a continuum of award-winning, innovative approaches that have stabilized properties and enabled public access to Lake Erie for the City of Euclid and our regional community beyond. Upon completion, the City of Euclid would like to designate the location as “Senator Kenny Yuko Park” in honor of State Senator Yuko’s enduring advocacy and service to our community. The site will be fully accessible to the public, providing public access to Northeast Ohio to Ohio’s Great Lake, Lake Erie. Over a period of 12 years, the City of Euclid took from concept to completion a precedent-setting public-private partnership to create a three-quarter mile public access trail along historly privatized property. The project is hailed as the model for opening up Lake Erie to public access across the region. Currently, the City of Euclid participates in the Cuyahoga County Lakefront Public Access Plan as a Steering Committee Member and is one of thirteen communities leading the first Shoreline Special Improvement District in the State of Ohio, across two counties. The privately owned land was leased to the City of Euclid via property easements, through a community process and negotiation including nearly 100 property owners, in exchange for the City implementing erosion control measures, constructing a new multi-modal trail and deploying other beautification strategies. The Euclid, Ohio Waterfront Improvement Project is a transformational, precedent-setting erosion mitigation and public access infrastructure project that is essential for livability, economic growth and community resiliency – having won numerous awards for innovative accomplishment – most recently the Ohio Economic Developmessociation’s Excellence Award, The Industrial Heartland & Cleveland Trails Summit’s Platinum and Gold Awards, each in 2021. The project stands out through it’s the creation of a new model for the transformation of Great Lakes waterways. By strategizing results through public/private partnership, the City negotiated easements from nearly 100 lakefront stakeholders to achieve mutual goals of shoreline stabilization. These easements allowed for temporary construction, as well as permanent maintenance and public access across the historically privatized shoreline. The project was dissected into multiple phases including a fishing pier in Phase I and a three-quarter mile public access trail atop a seawall mitigation devastating erosion in Phase II. Future phases include additional upland bicycle and pedestrian trails, a transit plaza, a nature-based playground, reconfiguration of the Disc Golf Course and a lakefront restaurant at the new lakefront park at E.246th Street and Lakeshore Boulevard. In addition, the project is viewed as a model for public/private partnerships and other public access waterfront development around the Great Lakes and beyond. The project supports community resilience, health and cultural benefits, job creation, transportation connectivity, economic diversification, and environmental stewardship.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Ashtabula County Ashtabula County will extend a much needed waterline 21,900 lineal feet on South River Road (including an extension on Brant Road) from State Route 534 in Harpersfield Township approximately 1,000 feet into Lake County. Hydrants will be installed every 500 feet with a mainline valve at each. Some roads and culverts may need directional drill; 600 lineal feet of directional drilling is anticipated with 3 road crossings. This project will provide a safe and reliable water supply to residents, businesses and tourists visiting the area. It is anticipated that with the installation of the waterline that one PWS will be eliminated as well as allowing for the abandonment of other inadequate - supply and/or poor quality wells in the area. The project area is currently served by low producing wells, ponds or hauled water. The County has received requests for access to public water due to insufficient and/or poor quality. The area has experienced considerable development growth over the last decade. Investigation conducted by Ashtabula County Soil and Water District determined that the majority of the wells between Atkins and SR 534 are low producers (2 to 3 gpm). The wells have insufficient quantity and poor quality. Providing reliable water service in this area will benefit residents, businesses and tourists. There are several wineries / businesses in the project area which serve 30,000 to 40,000 tourists per year. This waterline extension project will allow 47 residential property owners and 10 businesses access to a reliable water source by tying into a municipal water system. Residents and businesses in the proposed service area have expressed concern about available potable water and have approached the County about extending service. Providing reliable water service in this area will allow the businesses in the area to not only maintain but to grow as well. Ashtabula County OH $2,524,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Ashtabula County Ashtabula County is requesting funding assistance for the Design of the Northeast Regional Waterline Extension project. Only northern Plymouth Township and southern Jefferson Township currently have access to public water. This poses multiple problems. Wells in the area are frequently insufficient. Development along the State Route 46 corridor between Ashtabula City and Jefferson Village is severely limited by the lack of water. In northern Plymouth Township and southern Jefferson Township, the waterlines which currently exist dead end, which is detrimental to both water quality and to system resilience/redundancy. This project will construct nearly 10 miles of new water main to Plymouth, Denmark and Jefferson Townships to provide reliable public drinking water to the homes and businesses of the area and to improve water quality and resilience/redundancy to all customers. The new main will include hydrants for fire protection and one booster station. Along its route, the proposed water main will make water available to significant economic engines of the County including the Ashtabula County Airport and Ken Forging. The proposed waterline will address water quality issues including those at Ashtabula County Technical & Career Campus (A-Tech). Ashtabula County OH $5,600,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) There is an active Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) in Brooklyn on Ridge Road discharging to the Stickney Branch of the Big Creek. Intercommunity sanitary flow from the City of Cleveland, Parma and Brooklyn all contribute to this SSO which activates during wet weather rain events. Given the intercommunity contribution of the sanitary flow from the three communities, the determination of which community or communities should be responsible to mitigate the overflow and how to arrange the funding for the mitigation is uncertain. With this requested funding, NEORSD can use its knowledge gained during our Southwest Interceptor Local Sewer System Evaluation Study (LSSES), a study of needed local sewer system improvements tributary to an NEORSD facility, to step in and solve this current water quality and human health concern for the communities. The proposed project will evaluate, design and construct the most appropriate method to control this SSO which may include a connection to NEORSD Southwest Interceptor sewer, upstream stormwater offloading and/or local inflow and infiltration (I/I) reduction. Any funding received for this project can help to alleviate some of the burden on the communities and their residents, who are responsible to pay for needed upgrades in the local sewer system. This waterline extension project will allow 47 residential property owners and 10 businesses access to a reliable water source by tying into a municipal water system. Residents and businesses in the proposed service area have expressed concern about available potable water and have approached the County about extending service.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) for Combined Sewer Overflow – CSO 068 1. What is the project purpose, e.g., drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, and/or water quality protection? Wastewater. 2. How will the project help the recipient meet applicable water standards—e.g. improve drinking water quality or improve surface/groundwater quality? This project removes combined sewage at NEORSD’s (Combined Sewer Overflow) CSO-068 location. Currently for this CSO there is one remaining regulator, a structure which controls the amount of flow to a downstream outfall, located on Rocky River Drive just north of Greenwood Ave in the West Park neighborhood of Cleveland. This regulator structure diverts flow to CSO-068, which discharges approximately 4 MG of combined sewage a year during wet weather rain events into the Rocky River just west of the Riverside Dr and Old Hogsback Rd Intersection in the City of Lakewood. This proposed project would require installation of a new structure and sanitary sewer on Rocky River Dr at West Park Road in order to fully capture combined sewer flows into NEORSD's Northwest Interceptor. Additionally, this project includes miscellaneous improvements to the local tributary sewers. This project will eliminate sanitary sewage to CSO-068. NEORSD has performed preliminary engineering for this project and will soon have design ready for construction to remove all sewage from this outfall so that the discharge is stormwater only. 3. Is this project primarily to support existing water needs or to support future growth? Note that projects primarily to support future growth are typically ineligible for State Revolving Funds. Is this request seeking funding for planning and design, construction, or both? Fix current issues, moving residents from septic to sanitary sewer service. 4. Describe the project recipient—are they a municipality? Public water system? Other public entity? Public Water System. 5. What is the total estimated cost of the project, based on thfacilities plan or preliminary engineering report? $5,200,000 6. What is the amount requested for the project? $6,502,770 7. Is the amount requested scalable to a lower amount and if so, what is the minimum amount? No. 8. Please list any funding received from federal appropriations, including the fiscal year and source of funding (Clean Water SRF, Drinking Water SRF, STAG grants, USDA Rural Development Program, FEMA, or others)? N/A 9. Does the community have a financing plan certified by an authorized local official demonstrating how it will cover the matching funds of 20% or more? Yes. 10. What are the anticipated non-federal sources of funding for this project. Rate payers and cash on hand. This project removes combined sewage at NEORSD’s (Combined Sewer Overflow) CSO-068 location.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District Riverview Road in the City of Brecksville floods several times a year, which leads to the road closing, no emergency access for several houses to and from the street, and disruption of bus routes. This occurs because large amounts of sediment continually fill in the stormwater culvert under Riverview Road. The proposed project seeks to address this problem by modifying an existing stormwater management basin (Picha Basin) and by stabilizing severely eroding streambanks upstream of the basin. Picha Basin is in the City of Brecksville along a tributary stream that flows directly to the Cuyahoga River through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park by means of a wetland complex. This wetland complex is also threatened by the large amounts of sediment that settle out in this area. Both the City and the National Park are active partners in this project area. NEORSD has performed stormwater master plans for their entire service area, including the development of stormwater models. They have also completed a preliminary engineering report for this project area. And therefore, detailed design is ready to begin when funding is secured. Brecksville OH $1,107,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District In the City of Garfield Heights, there is a combined sewer overflow (CSO) relief point located on Wolf Creek at Andover Blvd. This relief point, where combined sewage is estimated to discharge sewage into Wolf Creek 50+ times every year, is upstream from the Garfield Park recreational area that is being revitalized, where guests can use Garfield Pond (fed by Wolf Creek) to fish and do paddle sports. This project includes sewer separation and stormwater offloading from the tributary system to restore the outfall to discharge only stormwater and send the combined sewer flows to the Mill Creek Tunnel for full treatment. This work will also mitigate reported basement flooding within the E.105th - McCracken - Granger - E.119th neighborhood and reduce the burden on the Garfield Heights residents.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District The NEORSD Rocky River Stormwater Master Plan identified intercommunity flooding issues near the border of Middleburg Heights and Brook Park. Several transportation assets are predicted to become impassable during a 10- year storm event due to an undersized culverted stream and minimal stormwater management. The roadways that flood include Smith Rd., Montvale Drive, Michael Drive, and Sheldon Rd. The proposed project is to construct a detention basin which will intercept un-detained stormwater runoff and reduce the peak flow rates downstream as they enter the culvert. NEORSD has invested in the acquisition of the property, initial environmental assessments, and feasibility reports to support the construction of a dry detention basin which is predicted increase the resiliency of these two communities by reducing the chance of flooding of these roadways for all storms up to the 100-year event.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Vision of Shadyside behalf of Village of Shadyside The Village of Shadyside has been negatively affected by a gradual disinvestment by the private market due to changing economic conditions. This decline can be traced to the disinvestment in the region by industry related to the production of energy. This current economic decline of Shadyside will make it difficult, if not impossible to rely on local and state government resources alone to fully finance all of the priority projects that must be completed to meet the goal of creating a community that will begin to uplift its residents and one that is highly regarded as a place that will be risk minimal and provide a high return for each investment made by the private market. This lack of local government revenue capacity will make it difficult to finance the projects that must be completed to meet the goals listed above. This lack of government revenue capacity must be remedied by leveraging private, philanthropic dollars with grant program dollars and the limited annual revenue resources provided by the federal government. The leaders of the effort to economically and socially reinvent Shadyside must seek the assistance of local philanthropic organizations and private individuals to provide the financial resources that will be used as seed funds to accomplish the mission to Secure federal dollars to fund the rehabilitation of Hillview Park. This will commence with the complete analysis and remediation of the major drainage/storm water issues that are impeding any progress to turn Hill View Park into the center of Shadyside’s effort to ensure a healthy community and brand itself as the best example of quality of place. Initial studies and research shows that this rehabilitation of Hillview Park will attract youth travel sports and adult recreation. This will bring a $5M to $10M economic impact each year to Shadyside. The research also shows that the new amenities will attract new housing investment and encourage existing housing rehabilitation to the 3500 residents of the Village of Shadyside. The entire region of southeastern Belmont County, Ohio, will be positively impacted by the economic reinvention of Shadyside and Shadyside's new brand as the health and wellness and experience capitol of the Appalachian region of eastern Ohio.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Village of Boston Heights The northern area of the Village of Boston Heights, is the older residential part of the Village. Many of the homes built in the 60's and 70's had inadequate and failing septic systems. Summit County Health Department noted this area of the Village had one of the highest fecal counts in Summit County at 50k per 100mL. Due to that, many water wells in the area were contaminated. The Village was able to apply for funding as well as using the Village's local funds for the installation of watermains on all those street affected. Now that the residents have clean public drinking water from Cleveland Water Department, the next step was to begin the installation of sanitary sewers. The Mayor mailed out letters to all the residents to see if they would be in support of such a project.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Reminderville In 2021 at the request of the Mayor and Council, my firm OHM Advisors, conducted a community wide flood study due to the past flooding events that occurred in the City as well as the most recent storm events that occurred in 2020 and 2021. The study concluded many items that could help reduce the amount of flooding that occurs such as regional detention basins and updated culverts. One of those culverts is Clipper Cove Culvert that continually backs up storm water because it does not have the capacity in the existing pipes to handle the amount of storm water flowing through the creek. The City was most recently awarded funding of $499,999 through loans/grants through Ohio Public Works Commission - Small Government. With this funding in place along with the funding request through the CDS this will help offset the Village's local costs. The immediate impact will be once the culvert is replaced, it will reduce flooding around the area and into the neighboring homes. The amount of people that will directly benefit from the project is all the homeowners downstream of the culvert which is 1,305 residents. The amount of residents indirectly affect with this project is 4,000.

The softer surface allows them to fall and not be hurt or scraped up by the cement. The softer constructed items that are pouring or spraying water are manipulative so not a hard surface to bump against. The Splash pad is handicapped accessible for wheel chairs and take all steps out of the occasion. Village of Newcomerstown OH $125,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Dayton In the past 30+ years, Dayton has lost thousands of manufacturing jobs and businesses. While this greatly impacted the city overall, the residents and small business owners that resided in West Dayton, experienced a disproportionate share of disinvestment, decline, and disillusionment when these high-wage jobs evaporated. The Wright Factory Site is a former Delphi manufacturing facility now owned by the City of Dayton. The redevelopment of this 48-acre brownfield site in Greater West Dayton, is a high priority for the City of Dayton. Through the tireless efforts of the National Park Service (NPS) the original Wright Factory building/hangers (1 and 2) will become a future aviation museum, the seventh unit of the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historic Park, a National Park that preserves historical and cultural structures, districts, and artifacts that are associated with the Wright brothers, the invention and development of aviation, and the life and works of Paul Laurence Dunbar. The City is seeking funding for the development of the non-historic buildings/hangers (3, 4, and 5). After engagement with key commitment partners and residents, it was determined these buildings are best suited for community and economic development activities. This property is located in a community where greater than 75% of residents are black. This community is in desperate need of a catalytic project and will benefit greatly from the creation of a center for innovation, entrepreneurial activities, and new business development, specifically for black and brown entrepreneurs. This “center” will offer an on-site incubator/co-working space, business development resources, and shared services. Located in this space will be a kitchen incubator, community/business meeting space, and maker space to facilitate the development of product-focused small manufacturing enterprises. The overall goal of this incubation and entrepreneurial hub is to facilitate and encourage the sustained growth of small black and brown companies. As these companies grow, black and brown business owners will soon close the gap between black-owned employer firms and white-owned employer firms, positioning their companies to provide much needed jobs for West Dayton residents. This project will also assist in the creation of an urban food hall/marketplace providing food and retail opportunities for the local neighborhoods Dayton OH $4,500,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Agraria Center for Regenerative Practice Agraria is located on Dayton Yellow Springs Road, which is the main access road for commercial, visitor, and commuting traffic from Dayton to Yellow Springs and John Bryan State Park. The road is not suitable for bicycle or foot traffic; the speed limit is 55 mph, and some sections have less than one foot of shoulder space. A $500,000 ODNR Grant allowed us to establish a bike path and walking trail connecting Agraria with downtown Yellow Springs, and with the Little Miami Scenic Trail, which receives over 100,000 uses in the Yellow Springs area annually. The trail allows Yellow Springs high school and middle school students to safely commute to farm internships and educational programming, and supports outdoor exercise programs for The Yellow Springs Senior Center. The trail also provides access to a unique restoration and agroforestry project. We are partnering with Tecumseh Land Trust and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) on a $1.5million restoration of Jacoby Creek and its riparian corridor that runs through the Agraria property. The project involves removing invasive species; restoring meanders to the creek, which was channelized for agricultural production; rehabilitating the surrounding wetlands; and replanting with native species. The project will restore streamside habitat on almost 60 acres. Agraria will use an additional 20 acres of buffer strips to research and demonstrate agroforestry practices. This is the first time TNC has collaborated with a landowner on a project that combines mitigation with agriculture. The restored area, along with 20 acres of adjoining farmland, will be protected by a permanent conservation easement Yellow Springs OH $402,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Village of Tuscarawas The purpose of this project is to provide safe pedestrian access for residents of the Village. Pedestrian infrastructure currently does not support access to and from residence, mobile park, the boat ramp, the park, businesses, schools, post office, and restaurants. The project consists of a walking trail that will go around the perimeter of the trail. In addition, this trail will connect to their masterplan through the Zeisberger Trail and Park Development (see attached map). The Zeisberger Trail Plan will allow this portion to connect to Sharon Drive which connects to SR 416 to New Philadelphia. In addition, the Village has recently submitted to Safe Routes to School and ODOT TAP funds for sidewalks that will be on the N. side of Cherry Street, go to East Avenue Ext to circle around Heritage Drive. off Cherry Street. The sidewalks will also go N. on East Avenue SE., connect East Avenue to Orchard Ave SE., and then will be completed by going N on Romig Street, which will connect to the school. (I have attached the master plan for this, as well.) Between connecting to the Zeisberger Trail and the addition that they requested from ODOT, this community will be well connected. This walking path is just one component of what is being proposed in this submittal. The Village submitted for Capital Bill funding . They are replacing a deteriorated basketball court with a new one. The Village is constructing a multi-use building (restrooms, concessions, storage, etc.), which will have a newly paved parking lot. In addition, they are adding parking at the northeast corner of the park for extra parking. Currently, the residents are parking where they can find parking, which can infringe on other property owners and cause unneeded stress and chaos for the Village.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Port Clinton The City of Port Clinton is intending to construct its Water and Sanitary Sewer Infrastructure Improvements project in 2022-2023. The sewer improvements will separate sanitary sewer flows from existing combined sewers with the intent to reduce untreated sewage discharge to Lake Erie through a Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO). Water Improvements will replace aging, undersized, deteriorated waterlines, & lead services. The existing combination sewers throughout the project area appear on City Sewer System Mapping indicating some sewers installed prior to 1942 with mapping revisions through 1980. Based on this mapping it is believed that all combination/sanitary sewers being replaced by this project are greater than 60 years old. Separation of sanitary sewer flows from these combined sewers will utilize a recently installed/separated 18” sanitary sewer interceptor located along Jefferson Street at Third Street. All proposed sanitary sewer installation/separation improvements extending from this new intercept sewer are improvements recommended in a 2016 Sewer System Analysis and Capital Improvement Plan prepared for the City with phased improvements intended to eventually lead to separated sanitary and storm sewers in the older/central neighborhoods of Port Clinton. These improvements should be considered upgrades for the City’s collection system in accordance with fundamentals established in a 1999 USEPA Consent Decree along with the City’s related Long Term Control Plan. It should be noted the City has recently filed a request for the Consent Decree to be released/terminated, which has yet to be approved by USEPA/OEPA. Waterline improvements for this project are primarily based recommendations of a Water Distribution System Analysis and Capital Improvement Plan prepared for the City in 2014. Most proposed 8” waterline improvements are replacing 4” and 6” substandard size waterlines where hydrant flow testing and water system modeling have indicated a need for better/increased flow for fire protecProposed 12” waterline replacements, as well as some of the new 8” waterlines, are replacing existing lines where age and/or deterioration have resulted in line breaks requiring the immediate attention of the City to minimize contamination of the water system and excessive loss of water. The City has documented existing waterlines where interior build-up of calcification/corrosion has reduced the interior diameter of the conduit by at least 50%. This reduction in interior diameter has led to reduced fire flows/ protection in many parts of the community. Water system modeling in the 2014 Analysis generally shows an approximate 10% increase in fire flow volumes throughout the City as a result of the proposed improvements. In the direct vicinity of the proposed waterline replacements the system modeling shows more substantial fire flow volume increases of up to 50% at some hydrant locations. In addition to the City’s interior condition documentation for some of the existing waterline conduit in the syem, the City has 36 repair records/reports for repairs completed in the project areas from 8/14/2015 to 8/18/2020. City provided water distribution mapping and past waterline plans indicate the waterlines being replaced were constructed between 1939 (83 years old) and 1963 (59 years old).

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission ORSANCO’s Organic Detection System (ODS) was created in 1978 after a release of carbon tetrachloride contaminated drinking water intakes that were using the Kanawha and Ohio Rivers as their source for drinking water. This occurrence identified the need for a monitoring system that would operate in addition to regulatory requirements to detect unreported discharges of chemicals that could compromise the source water quality for millions of consumers. ORSANCO, in cooperation with Ohio River drinking water utilities and USEPA, developed a monitoring system that could detect and identify volatile organic compounds (VOCs) chemicals in the Ohio River and major tributaries. The system’s 17 monitoring stations are strategically positioned at drinking water utilities and industrial facilities to provide the greatest benefit to all water intakes drawing from the Ohio River and lower reaches of major tributaries. The system has been in continuous operation since its inception in 1978. Using purge and trap technogy with gas chromatography, host facilities are able to collect and analyze several river samples each day for VOC analysis. When detections occur, downstream utilities are notified of potential threats to a drinking water treatment system. The system is also used to provide information to state and federal response and drinking water agencies during a spill event to inform response efforts. ORSANCO provides the ODS sites with instrumentation, training and instrument maintenance to keep the sites operational. The purge and trap/gas chromatograph combination allows for ppb (parts per billion) detection level analysis of VOCs. The ODS host sites provide personnel, resources and help to support the operational cost of this essential network. The ODS, through its instrumentation, cooperation, and communications network, provides protection to all water utilities and the five million citizens using Ohio River water as their drinking water source. Maintaining full operational capabilities of the ODS monitoring network is a critical need to ensure residents of the Ohio River Valley have a safe and secure water supply. Surface waters, process waters, and finished drinking water can be routinely tested, multiple times a day. As important as it is to detect the presence of a contaminant, this instrumentation simultaneously functions to verify the absence of harmful chemical pollutants and contaminants, indicating that water is of an acceptable quality for drinking. Because this program is a networked system spanning the length of the Ohio River (981 river miles, 72 counties, and 6 states) and nearly half of the drinking water facilities along the Ohio River do not have the capability to routinely detect the presence of harmful contaminants, they rely on the data and information ORSANCO and utility host sites provide to make appropriate treatment decisions. The last instrument upgrade and system renovation was initiated in 2009 using STAG funds from the Omnibus Bills in FY09 and FY10 through Senator Robert Byrd and funding through Senator Sherrod Brown in FY09 (HR1105, HR2996, HR.2764) through Special Water and Wastewater Infrastructure accounts. Some sites have instrumentation that is now obsolete (no parts/support from vendor) and frequent repairs causing site downtime. Hamilton County OH $1,059,000 Website Letter

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Village of Tuscarawas This is the replacement of the existing 6" water main with a new 6" (HDPE or DIP) water main. At all intersections we will connect to the existing water mains & place 3 valves for the isolation of the system if needed. In addition, installation of a new storm sewer from the Village garage parking lot to East Avenue. All pavement that is disturbed will receive a trench repair as part of the cost of the conduit installed. The waterline has experienced several breaks over the last 2 years which can cause a public health concern. In addition, this proposed project will give Cherry Street a final make over. The Village has applied to ODOT for new sidewalks along Cherry Street. If the waterlines and storm sewer can be funded this part of the Village will be complete. Also, Cherry is a main thoroughfare for truck traffic, which the road was not built for. There was a detour a few years ago, due to a bridge being closed and the traffic being re-routed through Tusky. The Village feels this caused havoc on the waterlines.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Fairview Park Failing, century-old sewer infrastructure is the most costly, important community issue currently faced by the City of Fairview Park (“City”). Its negative impacts reach not only our locality, but are experienced regionally at the multijurisdictional Rocky River and North Olmsted Wasterwater Treatment Plants (“WWTP”) and Lake Erie. The Westshore Regional Sewer Remediation Environmental Improvement Project (“Project”) will address the detriments of failing sewers, and includes replacement of publicly owned sewers on Stanford Avenue and the replacement of vital sewer infrastructure at the West 227 Street lift station. The Project is required to alleviate public health, safety, and welfare issues locally and regionally, thereby improving District constituents’ quality of life. Failing conditions of the Stanford Avenue sewers and West 227 Street lift station affect the City and all communities relying on the Rocky River WWTP, which also serves Rocky River, Bay Village, and Westlake, and the Nor Olmsted WWTP, which serves Ward 5 of Fairview Park, North Olmsted, and Olmsted Township. The Rocky River WWTP is under Findings and Orders from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) due to the release of undertreated sewage into Lake Erie. As a result of non-compliance, the “Rocky River WWTP No Feasible Alternative Study” was conducted to identify and plan for mitigation of undertreated wastewater entering Lake Erie. The study identified that inflow/infiltration (“I/I”) originates from the City. One cause of I/I is storm water entering failing sanitary sewers, which is overwhelming the WWTP. Data collected indicates that, of the 4 cities, Fairview Park was the leading I/I contributor. The Stanford Avenue sewers are composed of vitrified clay pipe and were constructed 100 years ago – well exceeding their useful life of 75 years. Footage taken of sewers in the vicinity show severe cracking, resulting in I/I and residential flooding. Such conditions have caused the roadway base to ode, causing pavement to settle. The Project will replace inverted sewers with new separated sewers. Inverted sewers allow storm and sanitary sewers to pass through a common manhole where they are separated only by a metal plate. These degraded plates leak and cause I/I. Due to I/I surcharges from wet weather, sanitary sewers reach capacity and cannot accommodate flow from sewer laterals, causing sewage to backup into homes. The Project will eliminate I/I and basement flooding, and will improve WWTP efficiencies and water quality. The City is utilizing an Ohio EPA Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (“WPCLF”) loan of $450,000 to investigate severe basement flooding in the West 227 Street lift station service area. The study concludes that lift station infrastructure does not adequately move sewage flow through the system to the North Olmsted WWTP. Flow monitor data/modeling results and field reconnaissance (communication with lift station pump operator) indicate that pump operation is inconsistent, exclusively during wet weather. Field reconnaissance/model analysis indicates that flow bypasses the grinder, increasing the likelihood of solids impacting pump functionality, backup of the sewer system, and subsequent basement flooding. The degraded lift station infrastructure must be replaced to eliminate residential flooding City of Fairview Park OH $4,048,000 Website Letter

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Village of Caldwell The East Tank waterline happens to be the waterline that supplies water to the two of the four satellite bulk users that the Village provides water to (Noble Water Authority and Clear Water County) and the East Tank. During high demand times the level in the tank drops significantly and the village customers are seeing low pressures and water supply. The east tank can only be filled to a height of 14'-10" and pressure and water supply issues start at 9'-0". The narrow operational range for the tower is a serious concern. In effect the East tank never completely fills, and the system loses about 40,000 gallons in storage. More importantly, since the East tank does not fill to capacity, the adjacent housing (approximately 100 homes) experience pressures lower than those required by Ohio EPA. This update is needed not only for the issues above, but also the new development going in off I-77. When this development is at full capacity, the pressure will be worse if not updated.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Willoughby The Chagrin River Floodplain Restoration and Protection Project involves restoration and preservation of 185 acres along the Chagrin River that have been affected by substantial streambank erosion and nutrient inputs, which are contributing sediment to the river and threatening downstream attainment of the Chagrin River’s aquatic life use designation as well as threatening the stability of State Route 84. Several factors have contributed to this reduced water quality, including a 32-acre nursery in the 100-year floodplain, storm water inputs from increased residential and commercial development, lack of adequate riparian vegetation, accumulation of sediment along the eastern bank, deteriorating former City water intake structures, and the 2005 collapse of a downstream low head dam for a water supply pool at Daniels Park which lowered the base level flow of the river. Additional funds are needed to secure the remaining 105 acres of key green space along the Chagrin River and create a wetland filtration floodplain forest adjacent to the Chagrin River. This will involve the decommissioning and restoration of an existing 32-acre nursery and will create native habitat that will treat stormwater from upland residential developments and prevent erosion, reduce nutrient runoff entering the river, and recharge groundwater Willoughby OH $2,323,000 Website Letter

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Canfield Township This project is necessary for the safety and welfare of the residents living on Summit Road and those who travel this road. This is also the oldest road in the Township and as such its infrastructure is beyond its useful life and needs replaced. And the storm sewer relocation will be sized for today's and the future capacities to ensure that flooding is addressed one this improved roadway. The improvements in this project include a new separate multi-use trail that will help to place the pedestrians and bicyclists on a safer path rather than the road. The Township will coordinate with the ABC District to obtain some partial funding for the proposed stormwater facility improvements. Canfield Township OH $1,193,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Elyria This project involves the installation of: a 30” sanitary sewer extension along East River Road, starting at Sandpiper Road, southeasterly 2,446 feet to Dewhurst Road. a 24” sanitary sewer, northerly 600 feet and easterly 821 feet, in easements, bore and jack under SR 57. an 18” sanitary sewer in an easement area northerly to Chestnut Ridge Road. All of the existing businesses along Dewhurst and on the east side of SR 57 are currently connected to the City sewer system by way of a residential development. The sewers and pump station in this residential development were never designed to accommodate business or commercial flows. The added flow from these businesses is taxing on the sewer system. The installation of the southeast interceptor extension will create a direct pathway for the flows from the retail/ business/commercial properties to the point where the pump station forces main discharges into the existing upstream end of the original southeast interceptor, thus bypassing the residential sewers and pump station. This will alleviate any capacity issues in the residential sewers and provide more than ample capacity for the existing and future businesses that connect to the City sewer system in that area. The project will also provide sewer access to approximately 56 existing residential properties currently utilizing septic systems along East River Road and Dewhurst Road. The sewer is sized to accommodate future sewer flows from current septic users located within the surrounding townships. The City of Elyria’s Section 208 Clean Water Act Facility Planning Area includes the areas that this sewer will service in the near future and long-term, and this project is the next phase towards servicing these areas with deteriorating and failing septic systems. The sewer will serve residential and commercial property in Elyria City, Carlisle and Eaton Townships. City of Elyria OH $2,500,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Shaker Heights Over the past six years, the City of Shaker Heights has spent more than $15 million maintaining and repairing critical sewer infrastructure to mitigate sanitary sewer overflow and the resulting contamination of Lake Erie. As a result of climate change, storm events are becoming more frequent with higher intensity. During rain events, sanitary flow is conveyed to the local combined sewer overflow system and is discharged to the environment. The sewers need to be enlarged for added capacity to prevent this santiary sewer overflow. To this end, the City of Shaker Heights recently completed two out of seven total sewer modernization and remediation projects. The Lomond- Lynnfield Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) Project is the third project the City is undertaking, and it will alleviate a greater source of pollution by mitigating overflows of the larger Lomond-Lynnfield sanitary sewer. The Lomond-Lynnfield SSO Project will reduce sanitary sewer overflows, address the impacts of climate change, and improve water quality and safety in the Doan Brook Watershed and Lake Erie. The project will increase sewer capacity and rehabilitate critical sections of the sanitary sewer system where persistent sanitary sewer overflows have occurred over several decades. Through this project, the City will be replacing or rehabilitating one mile of existing sewer pipe to increase capacity and prevent discharge of raw sewage into the stormwater system during heavy rains. The scope of work also includes reducing the amount of infiltration and inflow, installing new pipe for added capacity, and installing a new regulator. Simultaneously, an additional 2,225 feet of water main will be replaced. Further, the project will save existing historic trees that add water control benefits. The City will also provide opportunities for residents to reduce water flow on private property, including master raingarden classes. Shaker Heights City Council has already appropriated $260,000 to design and engineer the project. The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District strongly supports this project (see the attached letter of support) and will reimburse the City for $112,500 toward the cost of the design. The City expended these funds in 2021 and 2022 and contracted with a design and engineering consultant, which has now completed its review of existing data, hydraulic modeling, collecting survey data and more. In February 2022, the design and engineering team presented the final design plan to City Council, outlining the most beneficial, cost effective approach to reducing inflow, increase capacity, and modify the SSO structure to control the overflows at Lomond-Lynnfield. This federal funding will support construction of the project. The resulting increase of the size of the sewers will directly benefit an approximately 250-acre tributary area and 1,200 households through additional sanitary capacity, thus reducing basement backups, illicit discharges, and flooding. The project will reduce the frequency of untreated sanitary flow into Lake Erie, which meets the parallel goals of environmental regulatory compliance, raising quality of life for residents, and improving the overall quality of the water that flows into Lake Erie.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Logan County Sewer District This project will extend sanitary sewer service to two rural unincorporated communities and replace an obsolete and end-of-life wastewater package plant. The new wastewater treatment plant included in this project will allow responsible development in the area and support existing residents and local businesses and industries. This project would also expand the Sewer District's ability to accept septage from rural onsite wastewater treatment systems. This project includes the construction of a new 2.0 MGD wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The site, piping and layout will accommodate future expansion(s) up to 6.0 MGD. The WWTP will provide treatment of wastewater conveyed by a new regional sanitary sewer system. This project will allow for current septic tank systems and will be instrumental in protecting the ground water and surface water in the region. Testing of Otter Creek and Darby Creek show E-Coli levels several times the Water Quality Standard. Logan County OH $15,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Village Lowellville The Village of Lowellville is intending to improve their 12.88-acres of unimproved land located west of West Water Street south of the CSX RR and north of the Mahoning River into a riverfront setting. With the recent removal of the low-head dam in the Mahoning River and the Village completing the construction of the new canoe launch and the new public restroom facility in this very same location, the Village is poised to develop the remaining surrounding property into a beautiful riverfront park. This improvement project is aligned well with the Village's Comprehensive Plan and the recent Mahoning River Corridor Plan by our Metropolitan Planning Organization's (Eastgate Council of Governments). This 12.88-acre parcel is in a mapped floodplain and has nothing constructed on it. The Village purchased this parcel for one day creating this Park for this reason. Adjacent to this 12.88-acres and along the north edge of the Mahoning River is another adjoining 1.52-acres of land that is privately-owned and also is entirely inside of a mapped floodplain and is undevelopable for building purposes. The 1.52-acres is land-locked. The Village has already coordinated with this private property owner and the private property owner is committed to donating this 1.52-acres of land for the benefit of the creation of the future Park contingent upon the Village receiving the necessary funding to construct the Riverfront Park. Both parcels (together totaling 14.4-acres) are accessible to the Village's West Water Street road right-of-way which connects to the Village's central business district (downtown). This area of West Water Street has the potential to be the catalyst the Village needs to redevelop all of West Water Street (a long-range plan of the Village). The Village's Riverfront Park is planned to be utilized by the Village residents and all residents and visitors in the region. The new park will serve the following purposes: recreation, education, conservation, and will secondarily help attract more people to the Village's nearby downtown area. On the 14.4-acres the following described improvements will be constructed with the funds being requested herein: walking/hiking trail, picnic area, scenic overlook looking over Gray's Run Stream draining into the Mahoning River, a pedestrian bridge over Gray's Run stream, installation of way-finding and educational signs, a new pavilion where people can congregate and school children can meet and have some educational classes, and the improvements include to remove some of the invasive plant species from the area and remove some fallen and partially fallen trees that have the potential for significantly obstructing the flow of the Mahoning River. The new Riverfront Park would be nearby to the Village's central business district and nearby to the Village's emergency services. The proposed Riverfront Park is also nearby to the Village's Stavich Bike Trail which is located parallel to Liberty Street north of the CSX RR. The Bike Trail is now under contract to be improved and is intended to work well with the canoeing activities in the nearby Mahoning River. Village of Lowellville OH $834,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Belmont County Water and Sewer District Our project will renew and replace the aging water transmission main and well water supply main that provides the water supply to the commercial district of the Belmont County Water and Sewer District. The scope of our project includes improvements to the Belmont County Water and Sewer District water transmission system to benefit the Ohio Valley Mall and Ohio Valley Plaza area that services 12 hotels, 33 restaurants, 3 car dealerships, and well over 100 retail stores. This project includes two different components. First, construction of a new 4,301 linear foot 24-inch (inside diameter) HDPE well water line in parallel to an existing 24" ductile iron well water line running from the water wells along the Ohio River to the Belmont County Water Treatment Plant in Bellaire, Ohio. Second, construction of a new 37,515 linear foot 16-inch AWWA C900 PVC (DR14) water transmission line to replace the existing 12-inch and 10-inch asbestos cement water transmission line running from the Belmont County Water Treatment Plant to the Cook Tank and Ebbert Road Pump Station near the Ohio Valley Mall.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Brunswick Healey Creek Storm Water Management Project The City of Brunswick is seeking to mitigate damage from excess stormwater along Healey Creek in residential neighborhoods through restoring natural floodplains and storm infrastructure. The need for this project has been amplified in recent years due to historically high levels of rainfall. Many homes and neighborhoods have experienced repeated basement flooding as a result of poor, dated infrastructure. Specifically, the issues that are being experienced by area residents are: sewer capacity and high tailwater issues causing basement flooding; high peak flows and compromised water quality in Healey Creek due to undetained storm water from older neighborhoods - particularly near the creek's headwaters; stream bank erosion in back yards and along road infrastructure; poorly designed or malfunctioning detention and retention basins; and community pressure to develop vacant properties adjacent to Healey Creek and its tributaries. Brunswick plans to use city capital funding to acquire undeveloped properties for the preservation of existing open space, enhancement of existing wetland and tributary stream areas, and construction of new or expanded wetland areas and detention and water quality basins along Healey Creek. The city would also reconfigure, reroute, and/or increase the capacity of existing storm sewer systems as part of this project. This project includes reconfiguration of existing retention basins, including capacity expansion, water quality retrofit, and outlet structure modification. Further, Healey Creek's eroded stream banks would be repaired, protected, and reinforced to minimize future maintenance. The impact of this project goes beyond protecting Healey Creek and its surrounding wetlands. The proposed transformational project will have a long-standing, dramatic positive community impact to the ecosystem and the more than 1,400 homes that could potentially be directly impacted by the flooding of Healey Creek. This equates to nearly 5600 residents, or approximately one-sixth of Brunswick's population. City of Brunswick OH $1,500,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Village Lowellville One main activity that the Village has worked to develop over the past 6 years is the development of implementing improvements along the Stavich Bike Trail. The Village is currently underway with design of Phase 1 of the improvements to the Trail. There are a total of five phases of this trail's improvements located within the corporate limits and two located outside of the corporate boundary which involve the neighboring communities. This trail is very important to the Village, and to the region because of its literal multi-jurisdictional reach (east to Pennsylvania and west to City of Youngstown and the Mill Creek Park Trail Connector which Youngstown just constructed). The Village is committed to improving the Trail sections within their corporate boundaries and maintaining the trail in their corp boundary. The Stavich Bike Trial is part of a few vital elements that are the focus of Lowellville's future ecotourism plan. Other vital elements are the completed canoe launch on the Mahoning River, the future Lowellville Riverfront Park, and the Village's adjacent (and improving) central business district area Lowellville OH $945,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Holden Arboretum Holden Arboretum’s project will promote forest resiliency and conservation and expand canopy coverage in Northeast Ohio by (1) establishing a regional seed bank serving NEOH and the Great Lakes Region; (2) expanding pest-resistant tree propagation; (3) increasing regional growth capacity with green house construction in conjunction with local universities, promoting conservation research as well as reforestation; (4) expanding regional forestry workforce by expanding Holden’s Tree Corps learning program. Holden will undertake the following actions: 1. We have partnered with an entity engaged in climate change mitigation through reforestation to establish a regional seed bank to serve NE Ohio and the lower Great Lakes Region. We seek funds to support installation of a seed laboratory and workforce to support activities. Partners include conservation organizations in both rural and urban locations. Seed availability is one of the greatest obstacles to reforestation for climate change mitigation. This seed bank will make seed and seedlings available to partners seeking to reforest land in rural locations, and community groups and organizations interested in urban forestry. Holden will work with the US Forest Service (USFS) to breed resistance to tree species and provide more resistant trees to communities. 2. For more than 20 years, HF&G has assisted and collaborated with the USFS on tree breeding for resistance to pests and diseases. This effort has culminated in the formation of the Great Lakes Basin Forest Health Collaborative. We are seeking to expand our care and maintenance of USFS collections housed at Holden Arboretum, which seeks to develop and select for trees resistant to pests and diseases, to provide superior trees to the community for restoration work and urban forestry. 3. How trees respond to a changing climate is still poorly understood, especially in urban areas where the need for increasing canopy cover to mitigate climate change is greatest. But controlled experiments are difficult to achieve without greenhouse facilities that provide sensitive control of environmental conditions. We propose constructing new greenhouse facilities at the Holden Arboretum that would enhance work taking place at HF&G and to foster cross-institutional collaborations. Faculty at regional universities would all benefit from this, as a similar facility is not available within the region. A greater understanding of the effects of temperature and drought stress on trees can improve forest resiliency. 4. Urban and rural reforestation programs are limited by seed and seedling availability. We seek funding to establish additional tree propagation facilities to serve the community. These facilities can be used in conjunction with the regional seed bank for reforestation and urban tree planting. 5. Tree Corps Cleveland-Region Experiential Work: One aspect of our Tree Corps program is our 8-week experiential learning program that offers paid training in tree care and forestry. CREW provides experience, exposure, and difference-making work for folks who have not otherwise had an opportunity to engage in green careers. CREW members are trained by HF&G experts, as well as experts from professional tree care and forestry companies to better manage forests and improve resiliency.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Village of Chagrin Falls 1. This project will improve dependability of the water supply, transmission, and storage components and will vastly improve health and fire safety. Several fires in the downtown area combined with water supply system disruptions in recent years drew intense focus on system deficiencies and the need for improvements. Supply issues caused by fire suppression, watermain breaks and electric supply failures resulted in flow pattern changes that disturbed iron deposits in undersized mains in recent years. As a result, “red water” contaminated the water distribution to a significant portion of Chagrin Falls Village for extended periods of time. Completion of the 12-inch transmission main and the supply pump replacements will resolve the noted deficiencies. 2. The planned improvements will be made to the main supply, transmission and storage components and therefore directly benefit the entire population of over 6,000 served. 3. The system upgrade was developed by engineering studies using a validated computer model and will ultimately be confirmed through daily, bi-weekly, monthly and annual water quality testing by the water department and annual hydrant flow testing by the water and fire departments.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Vibrant NEO Northeast Ohio’s regional economy has long been defined by industry, and thus was especially susceptible to the economic restructuring of American manufacturing. Vacant and contaminated industrial sites dot Northeast Ohio, particularly in environmental justice communities and opportunity zones. Many of these are known or suspected to be brownfields, meaning they have or may have on-site pollution that discourages redevelopment and causes public health problems. Seed funding through Congressionally Directed Spending for a revolving loan fund (RLF) will provide Vibrant NEO with flexible funds that can be used for remediation of brownfield sites. Initial funding will result in a self-sustaining loan program as the principle and interest are repaid. A portion of the funds may also be used as grants rather than loans, if the redevelopment is to be a park or other public greenspace. The EPA has funded 75 brownfield grants in the region since 1994 at the county, city, village, or township level. Only nine of these, however, have been cleanup grants, and only four have been revolving loan funds. Funding through this request will enable Vibrant NEO and regional communities to move from assessment to action. This is especially important because many years have passed since 60 sites have been assessed; in some cases these found contaminants, yet never resulted in clean-up due to lack of funding. Vibrant NEO will prioritize communities that have been especially hard-hit by economic restructuring and emphasize investment in communities of color and low-income communities. This funding will advance Vibrant NEO’s goals to foster livable, vibrant communities that are safe, healthy and improve the quality of life for all residents, regardless of age, race, or income level. The RLF will provide gap financing to owners of contaminated properties for remediation. Lending policies would require substantial investment by other parties and the owners, and a demonstration of the financial capacity to repay the loan. Vibrant NEO will furthermore require a detailed description of the project including how it will meet cleanup goals, and collateral adequate to support the risk undertaken. Loan terms will include below market interest rates and will be guided by the nature (economics and end use) of the project. Loan and application fees will be charged. Whenever possible, loan payments will be monthly and will not extend beyond three to five years postcleanup project completion in order to facilitate fund revolution. Loan repayments will be actively monitored and collected in order to maximize the number of loans that can be made. Cleveland OH $2,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Lakewood The City of Lakewood’s request for $5,000,000 to support the Clean Water Lakewood Initiative will support environmental sustainability to carry the community forward. The city’s Interceptor Tunnel is the main artery that carries 77% of all sewer flow to its treatment plant. The deficient tunnel is in need of major rehabilitation to prepare it for the next century. A collapse of the tunnel’s roof has caused increased sewage overflows into the Rocky River and Lake Erie. The tunnel is in immediate danger of collapsing. This project will reduce untreated sewage that flows into Lake Erie. Current sewer overflows discharge directly to Lake Erie and cause water quality issues for drinking water, recreation & aquatic life. The city seeks federal support to rehabilitate the tunnel. Funding will allow for secure wastewater flows to the treatment plant. Failure of the interceptor would be catastrophic to the community and Lake Erie. Lakewood OH $5,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Erie County Erie County is under administrative consent order by the US EPA to address a significant sanitary sewer overflow issue. The solution requires merging 2 existing WWTP’s into a combined plant that will eliminate overflows therefore decreasing nutrient loadings into Lake Erie. In addition, the regional WWTP will be expanded with technology to effectively reduce phosphorus and ammonia from being discharged. Estimated costs are over $22 million but will reduce the operational costs while mitigating discharge into Lake Erie from two locations to one location. The technology will enable more complete treatment of nutrients during peak rain events that currently goes untreated. The new plant will enable between 5 and 16 M GPD to be treated compared to only 8 M GPD being treated properly in current facilities with another 4 M GPD partially treated and 2 M GPD not being treated during peak flow. The regional WWTP will utilize methane gas that gets generated from waste sludge to heat and cool the facility and solar energy is being explored. Erie County is requesting $5 million in funding to go toward the construction costs of the project. The entire projects costs of more than $22 million for sanitary sewer improvements from Sawmill Creek WWTP to Huron Basin WWTP includes the following scope: 1) De-commission existing Sawmill Creek WWTP and converting to pumping station. 2) Construction of a 24-inch sanitary sewer force main system from the new Sawmill Pump Station to the Huron Basin WWTP, which is approximately 16,000 lineal feet. 3) Huron Basin WWTP Improvements to expand to 5 million gallons per day for average daily flow and 16 million gallons per day peak flow.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Mahoning Valley Sanitary District 1. Remediation of the Mahoning Valley Sanitary District Dam will help to prevent downstream flooding that could affect Niles, Warren, Girard, Youngstown, Struthers, Campbell and Lowellville in Ohio. A potential breach could cause affects as far downstream as New Castle, Pennsylvania. It will also ensure that the 11 billion gallon reservoir that serves as the raw water source for the drinking water plant will remain intact. 2. The drinking water plant directly serves 220,000 people. If the dam were to suffer an event, those people would be without drinking water for months or potentially over a year. The water plant services the Lordstown Electric Plant that may not be able to produce electricity in the event of a water interruption. An electric power interruption could disrupt a large portion of northeast Ohio. This project directly benefits these people by ensuring a safe and continuous water supply. 3. This project is primarily preventative in nature. It is being undertaken to ensure the long term safety of the dam and reservoir. The key performance indicator and metric will be if the dam is structurally sound one hundred years from now. Mineral Ridge OH $3,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Geauga County Department of Water Resources McFarland WWTP is Geauga County's largest wastewater treat plant and services 3,790 residential and 246 non residential accounts. We are requesting CDS funding for phase I of the McFarland WWTP Renovation and Upgrade Project; building a true headworks facility at the plant. Currently, there is no consolidated, formal headworks building and the grit removal system has been mostly offline altogether for some time now. The raw sewage pumping station is also past its useful life and does not operate efficiently. For this reason, all components of the headworks will need to be replaced for any biological upgrades to be considered for the WWTP. The new building would house all three systems and be sized to adequately remove any debris that could harm the subsequent treatment processes. The building would also be able to house offices and electrical rooms so that the staff will be able to monitor the processes, store spare equipment, and protect the process from the weather. A new Parshall flume for measuring influent flow will also need to be provided and it could either be incorporated inside or outside of the new building. Key plant objectives that will be addressed under this project are as follows: 1. Reduce operational costs and streamline maintenance capabilities 2. Achieve long-term operational reliability, 3. Upgrade process automation and security, 4. Eliminate effluent limit violations, 5. Achieve capacity requirements, 6. Meet compliance schedule, 7. Plan for future growth and septic system disconnect impacts, and 8. Decrease electricity usage thereby improving the plant's carbon footprint. Chardon OH $4,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Canton Palace Theater Association The project seeks to address the current capacity issues facing our facility for our patrons, renters, and community. The ability to provide an enjoyable experience to our patrons with additional expanded lobby space, with more restrooms, more concession/bar areas, premium seating options, additional handicap accessible areas as well as elevator access to the second floor of our facility. As a fully rentable facility, the Canton Palace Theatre has developed partnerships with local, regional, and national promoters to present the fantastic live events we currently feature on our stage. We have done our best to continually update and upgrade our dressing room/green room areas for the artists and promoters to use. Unfortunately, we have more than reached our capacity in that area and desperately need to expand the area and the amenities offered. This project will add additional dressing rooms with in-room restrooms and showers, additional green room space to be used for meet & greets, an in-house kitchen to allow for caterers to be in the building and a dedicated production office for the promoter staff. The addition of event space will allow for the community to utilize the Canton Palace Theatre for more occasions than before. We are currently limited to 60 attendees on stage for any type of reception space. The expanded stage will not only allow for more community events but will also open the Canton Palace Theatre to larger stage productions, leading to more attendees in the Theatre and in our downtown area. See Addendum C and D for location and project floor plans. With 43% of attendees traveling more than 20 miles to attend events at the Canton Palace Theatre, we are more than just a local venue, we are a regional and statewide attraction providing almost $1 million in economic impact to our downtown. This project, when completed, will almost double that impact and solidify the future of the facility for more generations to enjoy quality entertainment in heart of Canton, Ohio.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Youngstown The funding of the project (Solids Handling Facilities (Incineration) Improvements) will benefit taxpayers by putting the City back in control of its sewer utility and therefore, not susceptible to outside variables which can leave taxpayers vulnerable to utility rate increases. Without the City's ability to burn its own biosolids (AKA sludge), it is completely dependent on the local landfill. The landfill has capacity requirements, when it comes taking in sewer related biosolids. The City is currently paying the local landfill nearly $1,000,000 a year. This in turn, leaves the City vulnerable to landfill cost increases. When the landfill reaches its capacity (and it will), the City will need to look for alternative locations to transport its biosolids and again be susceptible to the higher rates determined by the new facility. Therefore, the funding of the project for FY 2023 will put the City back in the driver's seat of its future. When the City is susceptible to price increases and other vulnerabilities by relying on outside entities to dispose of its biosolids, the taxpayers are extremely vulnerable. By providing the funding requested for this project, the City will not have to rely on the ONLY other wastewater funding source available, provided through the OEPA's Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF), which is a state revolving loan fund. The WPCLF program requires rate increases to residents, to ensure the loan be repaid. The City is not eligible for principal loan forgiveness for disadvantaged communities, because WPCLF restricts principal forgiveness to entities with under 10,000 population. The following is a breakdown of the City's demographic and socio-economic statistics (Source: 2020 Census), which paints the picture of a City that can't afford to impose one additional dollar to its already burden taxpayer: 1.) Youngstown's Median Household Income ($30,129 ) is 2x less than the national average ($64,994). 2.) Youngstown's population has decreased 10% between 2010 (66,982) and 2020 (60,068). 3.) Youngstown's poverty rate is 2x more than the national average. 4.) Youngstown's Average Sanitary Sewer Bill for 5,000 gallons (668 CF) of use is 3.4% of MHI at > $85 per month.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Baldwin Wallace University Baldwin Wallace seeks funding to expand its Environmental Research Institute (ERI). As a talent provider and environmental services partner for Northeast Ohio (NEO), the ERI plans to provide a broad spectrum of environmental services to agencies, municipalities, businesses, and industries. We seek to contribute to the diversification of the NEO economy by striving to protect regional and local watersheds in the central Lake Erie basin, mitigate current environmental issues (point- and nonpoint-source origins), manage the impact of climate change and invasive species, advance understanding of the sustainable use of the NEO's natural resources, identify environmental justice issues at the neighborhood scale, and inform relevant policies. Services provided by the ERI include: 1) qualitative/quantitative chemical analyses; 2) mathematical modeling of biologic processes; 3) development and ongoing monitoring of geochemical benchmarks; 4) consultation services for the evaluation of existing and development of new environmental and regional planning reports; and 5) fine-scale collection of environmental quality data. The ERI is a manifestation of BW’s continued commitment to NEO industry and community partners. At the core of the ERI is BW faculty expertise in a range of disciplinary and research domains as well as support from other campus research and engagement centers (Center for Health Disparities, Community Research Institute, Center for Corporate and Organizational Engagement, and Center for Community Engagement). Important aspects of the ERI’s approach will be to involve BW students from multiple disciplines, local K-12 students, and NEO community members in a wide range of investigations creating knowledge and understanding in the field. It will also produce a well trained future workforce for subsequent generations of green jobs, a key strategy in attracting new industries to NEO. The ERI will also collaborate with BW’s Community Research Institute and Geospatial Laboratory to provide community mappingnd directed surveying to tie scientific and environmental issues to public opinion in a geospatial context. An example of an ongoing ERI project: historically redlined communities today face several injustices, including a limited selection of retail and financial services, reduced life expectancies, less tree coverage, smaller parks, and other ongoing issues such as food deserts, where access to affordable and nutritious food is limited. We hypothesize these communities in Cleveland, Ohio, also have poorer soil health and or higher soil lead concentrations. To test these hypotheses, students have collected hundreds of soil samples and measurements (lead content, soil carbon, bulk density, and texture) from over 155 sample sites from 21 different neighborhoods in and around Cleveland. Our results show higher lead content in soils from older homes and areas that have been historically redlined. Similarly, BW students have designed and built low-cost remote-sensing air quality measuring devices that can be deployed in these same areas to give a more complete picture of the environmental issues facing these neighborhoods. BW chemistry students have analyzed local wastewater effluent for the presence of steroidal estrogenic compounds which accumulate in the environment. Additional research has been directed toward nitrogen analysis of compost derived from plant-based plastics, revealing the presence of unexpected nitrogen-containing organic compounds.

Senator Brown OH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Campbell The City of Campbell, Ohio owns approximately 37 acres of brownfields that need to be assessed, safely cleaned, and sustainably reused. These brownfields are located along the Mahoning River at a former steel mill location. Due to the fact that these 37 acres need to be cleaned it has been very difficult to attract businesses to this location, thus leaving these lands undeveloped for a generation. The city of Campbell believes they can provide revitalization to our city, once we have these brownfields cleaned. The Mahoning County Landbank, CASTLO CIC, and the Port Authority are engaged in this clean-up process, but the reality is that federal funding is necessary for this type of revitalization effort. Campbell has very limited income tax opportunities, particularly for manufacturing possibilities beyond the industrial properties along the river, this project is critical to any long-term growth in the city, both from an income tax and sales tax position. The City of Campbell has begun to engage potential end users of these properties, but it is imperative that they are ready for re-development and thus need brownfield reinvestment funds. This project is important because revitalization of these brownfields will help the City of Campbell attract new manufacturing businesses, develop potential retail space, and drive income tax funds into the city. This project seeks to accomplish the revitalization of a former steel mill location for redevelopment. The benefit to the taxpayer is both environmental and economic. Cleaning all former brownfield locations is a very important environmental and economic development priority, taxpayers benefit by having clean land, thus eliminating contamination run-off and environmental hazards, all while ensuring the re-development of former manufacturing locations.

Senator Casey PA Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Letterkenny Army Depot This facility will provide for segmenting of solid propellant rocket motors that are too large (805lbs Net Explosive Weight (NEW) Max per firing cycle) to be fired intact at the Ammonium Perchlorate (AP) Rocket Motor Disposal (ARMD) system's Thermal Treatment Chamber (TTC) at Letterkenny Army Depot (LEAD). The ARMD facility is a first of its kind capability and provides the DOD with an unprecedented capability for the closed disposal processing of a wide variety of Army and other service missile AP based rocket motors. System facilitation of the ARMD was recently completed in December 2016 at LEAD. The ARMD has just entered into the Acceptance Testing phase of the program where live rockets motors are being processed. During the developmental phase of the ARMD it was been determined that several of the rocket motors are too large to be processed intact through the chamber due to their NEW. A solid propellant rocket motor segmenting system is required to section (i.e., cut) the motors into an appropriate size that can be disposed by burning in the ARMD. Concepts for the segmenting system were evaluated and rocket motor cutting by Water Cooled Band Saw (WCBS) was selected for design development. In March 2017, the WCBS successfully completed final prototype testing at Redstone Arsenal. The WCBS was disassembled and shipped to LEAD on 9 March 2017 and placed into temporary storage pending installation in a suitable facility. Currently, there are no existing facilities at LEAD that can be reallocated for the WCBS. Until such time, the WCBS will remain in temporary storage. Without this needed building large rocket motors exceeding a Net Explosive Weight (NEW) of 681 lbs. will remain in igloo storage as we cannot process them through the Thermal Treatment Chamber (TTC) at ARMD. These Individual Rocket Motors exceeding the NEW of 681 lbs. (NEW of the MK 56 Standard Missile motor) must first be segmented into two sections with the NEW of the largest section not exceeding 805 lbs. prior to firing (confined burn) in the TTC at ARMD. The potential rocket motor candidates that could eventually be processed within the TTC. The two motors selected for segmentation / acceptance testing during the facility Production Unit Test Demonstration Study are the MK 70 (Standard Missile Boost Motor -- identified as Block II ER Booster on the list) and the M 124, Army Tactical Missile System Motor (which was not obtainable) for testing. A watercooled band saw (WCBS) will be used to cut through the casing and propellant to reduce the motor size and facilitate thermal destruction.

Senator Casey PA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Manchester Bidwell Corp. Bidwell Training Center Through this initiative, Manchester Bidwell Corporation's Bidwell Training Center will implement a unique training program based upon industry needs in the region. Through the implementation of an urban food production program, BTC seeks to support current and developing businesses that are emerging in greater Pittsburgh to support local food needs. Current trends strongly suggest the future of urban food production is threefold: vertical farming, hydroponic farming, and more traditional indoor farming where plants are grown in a potting mix. Because urban food production, especially indoor operations, is an emerging part of the horticulture industry in Pittsburgh, there is a shortage of trained individuals to meet growing labor needs. Bidwell Training Center, which has been providing workforce development training to greater Pittsburgh residents for over 50 years, seeks to expand its reach through the creation of this program. It can easily be implemented into their existing infrastructure within the Drew Mathieson Greenhouse, their 1-acre educational facility. They would continue food production in traditional potting mix, install a vertical farming training system, and implement a cutting-edge hydroponics system, which has been pioneered in the Netherlands and is being successfully executed across the US. This hydroponics system will be connected to an on-site Urban Farm Shop, as well, allowing students the chance to sell what they grow to the local community as a part of their educational experience.

Senator Gillibrand NY Energy and Water Development University at Buffalo The federal government is investing $10B to establish infrastructure for renewable hydrogen production to help decarbonize the American economy and achieve climate goals. This project will build US research and development capacity, speed the investment in and deployment of hydrogen-related industries in upstate New York, seed three new university-industry collaborations, and advance the readiness of three hydrogen-based technologies. Development and infrastructure investments in hydrogen feedstock, production, and end-users will improve US competitiveness in the global marketplace and provide export customers for hydrogen and its downstream products such as ammonia. This request comes at a critical time as New York Governor Kathy Hochul has recently outlined a plan to link several regions across the state to create a single hydrogen network. As University at Buffalo and these agencies develop a proposal for a New York Hydrogen Hub, funding through the CDS program is critical to stand-up research facilities at UB to ensure New York is well equipped to play a key role in the growth of state's hydrogen economy. UB is well positioned to launch this hydrogen build-out in support of a Hydrogen Hub in New York. A Tier 1 Research University, UB has world-leading research activities relevant to hydrogen production and use and has secured millions in related federal research funding.

Senator Gillibrand NY Energy and Water Development Town of Ulysses "The Town of Ulysses was audited by the NYS Comptroller's Office (NYSOSC) in 2021 (report issued April 1, 2022). Not finding any issues with our accounting systems, the auditing group selected our IT systems for audit. Although audits in general are appreciated at the Town, the topic of IT systems was highly welcomed due to the historic recognition that this was an internally known weakness. A copy of the audit report has been included as an additional materials file upload. To bring the Town's IT systems up to modern standards is a significant challenge for a local government our size. Cybersecurity and IT modernization is essential in protecting Town assets, including the Town's water system and general records. The Town's insurance carrier has estimated a cost of $500k+ for a single cyber breach event, which would constitute about 13% of our annual operating budget. " Ulysses NY $223,000 Website Letter
Senator Gillibrand NY Energy and Water Development Corps of Engineers "The City of Rye is seeking to dredge the Milton Harbor Channel for the first time in nine (9) years, a federal channel which acts as an essential waterbody to the region's economic health. The project will restore navigable waters for most boats, ensuring access to Rye and its coastline for residents and visitors. At present, the channel is not navigable for all boats, requiring immediate attention. Following the city's initial dredging of the Basin and channel in the 1950's, the Army Corps of Engineers assumed responsibility for the channel dredge, with the City retaining responsibility for the Basin maintenance. However, due to tidal changes and run off from the Blind Brook, the channel and Basin require the regular removal of silt to remain navigable. The last regular dredge completed by the ACOE was in 1992, followed by emergency work after Hurricane Sandy. In order to make the channel navigable for most boats, it will need to be dredged to a depth of five feet and width of 75 feet from the area just south of the Boat Basin to the mouth of Milton Harbor. Historically, the channel has been dredged to its full width of 100 feet and a depth of 8 feet. However, due to permit limitations for open water disposal (25,000cy max), the proposed dredge narrowed the channel. The estimated cost of dredging and transporting the material is $1.5M, limiting the City's ability to move forward with the project independently to restore the waterway."

Senator Gillibrand NY Energy and Water Development National September 11 Memorial and Museum These funds will be used to retrofit North and South pool lights with LED bulbs which will significantly reduce energy usage at the memorial pools, extend the lifespan of the lights, and reduce utilities costs for the lights which are operating 24/7. 8 rows of pool lights will be removed in phases & shipped to manufacturer for LED retrofit. Lights will then be reinstalled in pools. The two reflecting pools mark the exact place of the World Trade Center and stand as a permanent place of remembrance. Both pools commemorate the names of nearly 3,000 killed in the attacks on September 11, 2001 and the World Trade Center bombing of February 26, 1993. The 9/11 Memorials are sites of remembrance for a national tragedy, and these federal funds will enable the memorials to welcome visitors from around the world to honor the victims of these attacks at this important site.

Senator Gillibrand NY Energy and Water Development Tompkins County The EV ARC is a stand-alone solar-powered electric vehicle charging station that helps promote adoption of electric vehicles while also enhancing resiliency. The contained unit fits in the space of a standard parking space and features a solar array to charge directly from the sun, avoiding costly utility interconnections and allowing the units to be moved, if necessary. The charging stations can be set-up to charge up to six vehicles at a time and can supply 265 miles of range per day which is more than enough to power most of the County's electric vehicle fleet needs. Tompkins County NY $128,000 Website Letter
Senator Gillibrand NY Energy and Water Development Tompkins County "At present, Tompkins County features one of the highest rates of electric vehicle (EV) adoption in New York State. However, while the County boasts an increasing number of level two charging stations that allow vehicles to charge in 6-8 hours, there exists no level three or DC “fast” charging stations over 25kW other than the proprietary Tesla “Supercharger” stations. For the county with the highest per-capita number of EVs in upstate New York, this is a situation that must be remedied. We propose to install a DC Fast Charging Station and to help grow public adoption of electric vehicles and to enhance the ability to travel through the Finger Lakes region via electric vehicle. This funding will help cover the cost of the station itself, upgrades to electric infrastructure to allow the installation of the station, and signage to help promote the existence of the new station and further encourage public adoption of electric vehicles."

Senator Gillibrand NY Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Fort Drum July 2018, IMCOM conducted a Higher Headquarters Assessment utilizing the Joint Staff Integrated Vulnerability Assessment (JSIVA) Benchmarks for force protection of Fort Drum. They identified the shortcoming that Fort Drum's ACPs do not meet the Army Standards. The current deficiency are no POV or commercial truck inspection buildings, no search office, no active vehicle barrier system, no over watch position, no standby generator and no UPS system. The major deficiency would be the lack of no active vehicle barrier system. Fort Drum is currently randomly inspecting privately owned vehicles and commercial trucks in the inbound lanes at the ID Check Areas, a GSA Military Police vehicle is located on site as a chase vehicle but they have no way of stopping a breaching vehicle from entering the base. A Comprehensive Transportation Engineering Assessment was completed in April 2010. The assessment demonstrates the requirement for a Primary ACP that is capable of supporting passenger vehicles and commercial trucks on the southeastern boundary of the cantonment. A new highway intersection funded by the State of New York was constructed in 2018 which provided improved traffic capabilities to and from this site. Watertown NY $5,800,000 Website Letter
Senator Gillibrand NY Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Town of Brunswick The Town is seeking funds for the rehabilitation of the Van Derheyden Dam. The project will address the deficiencies of the existing structure and eliminate the potential hazards caused should there be a dam failure or breach. The dam is currently classified as a Class B Intermediate Hazard Dam by New York State and assigned a condition rating of unsound deficiencies found.

Senator Gillibrand NY Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Cortland County Mental Health Department This project will renovate a vacant downtown City of Cortland building purchased by Cortland County to relocate their Mental Health department and treatment services. Cortland County Mental Health Department (CCMHD) is a rural behavioral healthcare provider with three New York Office of Mental Health (OMH) licensed outpatient clinical treatment/services for over 1000 clients each year. This renovation project enables CCMHD to provide expanded treatment/services in an inclusive, accessible, and therapeutic environment available to and at significant benefit for all county taxpayers. Benefiting taxpayers through improved behavioral health treatment/services and through long term fiscal sustainability of county building ownership and renovation of local government's physical assets. Renovation of this county asset is a better use of taxpayer investment than the current annual leased building expenses for the CCMHD's rural healthcare treatment and services. As a rural behavioral healthcare provider, CCMHD offering three NY OMH licensed outpatient clinical treatment/services for over 20 years to over 1,000 clients each year. The COVID-19 pandemic heightened the necessity of obtaining an improved and larger location for these services, as high-priority behavioral health needs and demand for CCMHD treatment/services increased. Federal and state data show the increased demand for mental healthcare is forecasted for years to come.

Senator Gillibrand NY Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Captial Roots Capital Roots will build a net-zero energy greenhouse array using a hydroponic growing system for the production of specialty leafy greens, used as the basis for a job readiness program for chronically un-or-underemployed adults. The program has evolved from the Produce Project, developed by Capital Roots, which has served hundreds of high school youth since its beginning in 2009. The greenhouses will be sited within Capital Roots’ Urban Grow Center Campus in North Central Troy, a distressed neighborhood with high-unemployment rates. The Grow Center Campus includes kitchens, retail and teaching spaces that will add to the breadth of the work experiences available to trainees. The Center’s regional food hubs will play a role both in training program participants and distributing the food they grow, ensuring the greenhouses’ product can reach not only this food desert neighborhood, but the rest of our four-county service area as well. People living in poverty and unemployment face barriers of transation and education, health, family and legal problems, and even a basic unfamiliarity with the requirements and expectations of the workplace that keep them from being an employer’s ideal candidate. To help folks find and keep jobs, what is needed is a holistic approach combining job-readiness training, with a suite of tools and supports for the individual and a direct connection with work opportunities. The Grow Center and its greenhouses will be a conduit for healthy food, personal and community growth that ensures equitable development of the City and the disbursement of its resources.

Senator Gillibrand NY Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies New York Farm Viability Institute Three improvement areas for the current platform: Application Flexibility. Changes will provide flexibility and allow customizing the application for existing and new targeted programs as needs arise and resources become available. An immediate opportunity is co-funding projects with corporate and other private funding sources. The current system creates challenges when multiple funding sources support a single project. Farmer Review Panels. Farmer input to identify the most important projects is critical to funding the most important work. Building capability to collect farmer profiles online will allow for better matching proposals to reviewers. Modifications will facilitate recruiting and enrolling farmers through various outreach and social media efforts, resulting in more farmers, and more diverse farmers, being involved in the review process. While our review panels have strong gender diversity, the review process would benefit from more diverse perspectives, which these upgrades will facilitate. Knowledge Sharing. Moving the knowledge generated by projects into a useful format and importantly into the hands of farmers, is challenging. Database upgrades will allow knowledge created by projects to be searched and shared on the NYFVI website. We will also explore integrating knowledge gained through our projects into peer driven knowledge sharing platforms, such as Ag Solidarity Network. After 15 years of successful operation, upgrading the grant management platform will help NYFVI better serve NY agriculture. The changes will allow NYFVI to improve its project management practices, include more, and more diverse, farmers in the review process, and better connect the knowledge generated to the agricultural community.

Senator Gillibrand NY Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Upper Saranac FOundation The Bartlett Carry Dam is located at the South end of the 8-mile-long Upper Saranac Lake. Reportedly constructed in the 1850's, the dam, over years, has been repaired several times. The Dam is classified as a Class "B" intermediate hazard dam by NYSDEC. Most recently, in 2018, emergency repairs had to be made to the dam because a dangerous sink hole had formed along the dam threatening to breach the structure. Breaching of the dam would have been disastrous. The dam is above the Village of Saranac Lake and if breached waters from the dam would have, at a minimum, caused flooding and property damage. In addition, a breach of the dam would have dropped the level of the Upper Saranac Lake by 6 to 10 feet dramatically altering the beautiful lake shoreline and leaving two State campgrounds, hundreds of privately-owned docks unusable. In addition, two public boat launches would be rendered inoperable. The owner of the dam, the Upper Saranac Foundation, a 501C non-profit organization, is seeking funding to make a series of necessary repairs and safety improvements to the dam to comply with state and federal dam safety regulations. The owner of the dam, the Upper Saranac Foundation, is seeking funding to make a series of deferred necessary repairs to the dam. The current estimated cost of these repairs is $1.8 million.

Senator Gillibrand NY Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Town of Richford Richford needs a new town hall. Prior to its current use, the existing 1,928 sf town hall was the town highway barn. It was repurposed as the town hall in 1973, but is not appropriate for the purpose. The building houses an assembly room; the Town Clerk’s very small office; an inadequately-sized locked file room; and the town courtroom. There are no offices for key municipal staff, including the Town Supervisor. The restrooms are not ADA-compliant. Unless heat lamps are left on pipes all winter, the plumbing freezes. Several electrical outlets do not work, which indicates a potentially dangerous electrical problem. The water must be boiled to be potable. It would be impractical and expensive to remedy the many problems with the existing town hall. It is more reasonable to build a new facility. Based on these factors and community feedback, the town began saving for a new town hall in 2014. Plans include: sufficient office space for officials and staff; a secure, appropriately-scaled, fire-proof file room; two ADA-compliant restrooms; a conference room; a courtroom; and a multi-purpose assembly room. The building will have 46 solar panels. There will be a ground-source heat pump. Richford is the poorest town in Tioga County, with a poverty rate of 20.4% and a childhood poverty rate of 46.1% according to CFSCNY. 39.15% of Richford’s acreage is state land, which limits the tax base. In nine years, the town has saved only $361,803 of the estimated $749,105 needed to construct the new town hall. Town of Richford NY $382,000 Website Letter

Senator Gillibrand NY Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Rural Housing Coalition of New York There are currently 58 Rural Preservation Companies (RPCs) serving rural communities throughout the state. The Rural Preservation Companies are local non-profits with volunteer boards of directors, funded mainly by state and federal grants (HCR, HUD, USDA, CDBG, etc.) to provide housing repair and rehab services to low-moderate income homeowners, housing counseling to eligible first-time homebuyers, and the management and construction of affordable rental housing to low-moderate income households. The Rural Housing Coalition of New York or RHC, is a statewide membership organization that represents the rural preservation companies and community/housing developers and provides them with technical assistance and training. The Rural Housing Coalition seeks $50,000 to increase the leadership capacity of both the paid staff and volunteer boards as well as their technology capacity, specifically website updates and enhancements, to allow for online applications for services. The lack of leadership training for these small non-profits has inhibited their ability to maximize their potential to serve their rural communities. RPC Executive Directors come to the position with little or no supervisory, budget development and board relations experience. Volunteer board members recruited from the rural communities the RPCs serve, come to their roles with little or no previous non-profit board experience and understanding of the various state and federal housing and community development programs administered by their organizations. In addition, several of the RPCs do not have websites and many lack the capacity to accept applications for assistance online, which was exposed as a major impediment during the height of the pandemic.

Senator Gillibrand NY Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Fulton County Center for Regional Growth, Inc The major economic base of Fulton County, up until the 1960's was the leather industry. Since that time, the industry has gone into serious decline. This decline was due to a combination of overseas competition, as well as serious environmental issues associated with the leather industry. For the last several decades, Fulton County has sought to diversify its economic base, and replace the lost jobs. This has led to highly successful industrial parks, primarily in Johnstown and Gloversville. Those industrial parks are now full, and the Fulton County Center for Regional Growth is seeking to create additional shovel ready industrial park space that will attract new businesses or assist existing businesses in their expansion efforts. The Center for Regional Growth has identified a prime location for a future industrial park, located along a major arterial in the Towns of Johnstown and Mohawk. This site offers excellent vehicle access and a full complement of high capacity utilities nearby. The Center for Regional Growth has obtained an option to purchase the site. The next step is to purchase the site and develop it as a shovel ready industrial development site. Fulton County NY $500,000 Website Letter

Senator Gillibrand NY Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Delphi Falls County Park Madison County acquired 62 acre Delphi Falls County Park in 2018 which features nearly 1 mile of access to Limestone Creek and is highlighted by two amazing waterfalls: the 54 foot Upper Falls and the 62 foot Lower Falls. Interest in the park by the public has been overwhelming (despite the fact that it remains largely undeveloped) and attendance has only been heightened by the COVID-19 Pandemic as people searched for healthy, active, and outdoor places to visit. If selected, this request would be used to fund the construction and development of a visitors center/conference center at the Park. Though Madison County has other parks, the unique beauty of this site has galvanized the desires of those involved to create a remarkable place for current and future generations, by allowing public use of the site without detracting from the natural beauty. Work is underway now to design this first class visitor center/conference center that will be one of a kind in Madison County. Funds from this Congressionally Directed Spending Request will be used specifically for the construction of the visitors center/conference center. Madison County NY $3,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Gillibrand NY Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Village of Pulaski The Pulaski Sewer System has struggled with I&I issues since it was installed in the 1970's. I&I causes negative impacts at pump stations, hydraulic overloads, and handling large volumes of unnescessary water. Disinfection at the WWTP is currently accomplished with chemicals. Sodium bisulfite is effective at dechlorinating however over dosing can lead to sulfate formation, suppressed dissolved oxygen content and lower pH causing potential fish mortality. The WWTP is on the Salmon River, which drains into Lake Ontario. Based on the importance of the Salmon River, a world class fishing destination, to the economic wellbeing of the Village and surrounding area, the Village wants to convert their chemical disinfection to ultraviolet disinfection. Most of the sewer collection system and pump stations were constructed in the 1970's. The infrastructure is aging. The pump stations dry pits, constructed of painted steel have surpassed the typical service life. Anticipated economic growth will not materialize without the improved and increased capacity of the Village of Pulaski's Sewer and WWTP. It is crucial that the Village of Pulaski be able to obtain the funding to make the Wastewater Infrastructure Improvements. Village of Pulaski NY $6,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Gillibrand NY Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Center for the Arts of Homer, Inc. The Little White Church formerly the Calvary Episcopal Church of Homer, was constructed in 1832 on the Homer Village Green. It is in the Old Homer Village Historic District and the Historic American Building Survey (HABS) of 1966. It is the oldest church in Cortland County. The building also served as the Homer Village and Town Hall until 1890. The Village of Homer purchased the church, which had fallen into disrepair after having been closed a number of years prior, in order to save it from demolition for construction of a parking lot. The plan was to restore the original exterior of the building and repurpose it as a community center and artistic performance venue in partnership with the Center for the Arts of Homer. However, the Village found that the repairs needed (when performed under the prevailing wage rules of NYS municipalities) would be far too expensive to undertake. The COVID pandemic exacerbated this problem further. Recently, discussions between the Village mayor and the executive director of the Center for the Arts led to a solution: the Village would sell the Church to the Center for $1.00 so the Center could pay market labor rates to its trusted local contractor partners and thus restore the building and refit its interior to serve its several planned new uses. The Village, the Center, and Homer's Landmark Society are partners in this venture. Each will contribute to the costs of restoring, repurposing, and administering the new Little White Church Community Center. Cortland County NY $334,000 Website Letter

It will have locker rooms, dry-land exercise space, and seating for athletes and spectators. The facility was designed to appeal to a variety of interests and meet a broad range of community needs. Locally, the facility would serve as a community gathering space, encouraging physical activity throughout the life span, preventing water-related accidents and deaths, and supplementing school resources. The completed Aquatic Center will offer programming which will advance local recreational initiatives to engage residents and improve health and safety. It will also serve as a high-profile sports destination which will bring regional and national attention to the Capital Region. Market surveys and feasibility studies determined that the aquatic center would be a tourism driver which will bring Schenectady $9.4 million annually. This analysis does not include championship level meets and the larger, longer meets, which typically generate $3-$4 million in economic impact per event. Events at the aquatic center would attract more than 100,000 visitors annually, resulting in an economic impact of more than $106 million over five years. Schenectady NY $5,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Gillibrand NY Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Canton College Foundation, Inc. The proposed redevelopment of Midtown Plaza will include partial demolition of the existing 39,000 square foot structure. A renovation of the rest of the existing building and new vertical expansion will increase the total building size to 68,000 s.f. of office and residential space on three floors. Canton’s population is growing, and large employers in the area are seeking to add new jobs to the area. To respond to the high demand for housing, the revitalization of this property will include 44 one- and two-bedroom residential units on the two upper floors of the facility. The anchor of this project is the SUNY Canton Entrepreneurship Center, a 15,000 s.f. facility which will offer research and development facilities open to community members to develop prototypes, accelerate start-up companies bringing new and innovative products and ideas to market, and provide comprehensive resources for small businesses to start up and grow. A co-working space will provide office space for the increasing population of remote workers in the County and offer affordable office space to small and start-up businesses. Low-cost programming will help entrepreneurs refine ideas, structure business plans, conduct market research, and connect with experienced mentors to help them build and grow their companies. A makerspace will offer state-of-the-art equipment for local makers and inventors. The remaining 7,650 s.f. of first-floor space will include areas for circulation, a foyer/lobby, a property management office, mailroom, and resident fitness center.

Senator Gillibrand NY Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies People Against Trafficking Humans, Inc. (PATH) The PATH Enrichment Center, located in the City of Buffalo, offers support services for adults and youth who are at risk or have been affected by both sex and labor trafficking. We focus on a variety of therapeutic modalities to address the whole person physically, emotionally and spiritually. We provide a safe place for restoration and healing while offering mentoring and support. All of those we serve have been significantly traumatized through commercial sex acts, forced labor, partner abuse, drug addiction, or are seeking refuge from their homeland due to torture and suffering. But for those clients who do not have safe, secure housing, the services alone are often not enough to keep them from regressing and returning to their trafficker. PATH has instances when clients will not accept shelter options in the community and will go back to their exploitative situation. Over this past year, PATH has had a dozen females over 16 years of age end up back in exploitation because there was not adequate housing opportunities. Since 2015, PATH has served over 700 individuals and we have at least 2-5 people per week that are homeless and in need of safe housing away from their trafficker.

Senator Gillibrand NY Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Children’s Museum of the East End Federal funds will be specifically dedicated to the following project components in support of an expanded CMEE food pantry: -Purchase and outfitting of storage container/mobile office -Electrical connection and installation of the container -Food supplies needed for 100 families per month for a full year -Salary costs for a Director of Community Outreach CMEE needs more space to service more families. The proposed project will increase our current capacity by at least 50%. The food pantry currently requires the use of the facility's lobby, already limited storage and classroom space from the general Museum. Lack of space has made food distributions untenable. The Museum space must close in the winter months to accommodate all the food and set-up, and to provide clients adequate privacy. By closing the Museum, CMEE misses out on much needed admissions revenue. In the summer and fall the food pantry distribution moves outdoors to the extent that is possible. There is currently no small group space for meetings and training during the daytime. There is little private space for client interviews. The expansion will improve all aspects of the operation, including new and needed opportunities to create community and direct individuals to wrap-around services. The container will be modified to provide a room of storage, with our refrigerators and freezer installed, shelving that rolls for pantry food, and storage for school and education supplies as well as emergency baby and parent clothing.

Senator Gillibrand NY Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Life Impact DBA Resurrection Life Food Pantry Life Impact DBA Resurrection Life Food Pantry (RFLP) is one of the largest food pantries in WNY, serving more than 1400 families. 1 in 8 people in Western New York face food insecurity, including 1 in 5 children (FeedMore WNY). Since the start of the pandemic, RLFP has stepped up to meet the increased needs of over 800 new households, more than doubling our service population. We have doubled our food purchases and donations, as well as obtained nine new refrigeration units, to keep up with this increased need. RLFP has been designated a High Impact/High Capacity agency by FeedMore WNY, the region's major food bank, due to RLFP's ability to rapidly increase distribution capacity in emergency circumstances. RLFP is stretched to the limit of its service capacity with the current space available, and client needs remain high even as the pandemic reaches an end. With our limited space, it has not been possible to serve clients in a dignity-preserving supermarket setting while maintaining our increased storage needs. In order to keep up with demand, RLFP needs to renovate and expand its existing structures. The planned expansion will double the pantry's square footage and incorporate a double drive-thru; a client choice distribution room; a warehouse; and a conference room and privacy cubicles. Also included in the project will be a resource room for use by collaborating agencies to promote self-sufficiency and strengthen the safety-net for all residents. Erie NY $500,000 Website Letter
Senator Gillibrand NY Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Hudson The City proposes to utilize Federal funding to design and implement sidewalk improvements east of 2nd Street which will follow the ADA Standards for Accessible Design, as identified in a 2020 Accessibility Compliance Review of defined areas within the City. The City of Hudson proposes to complete the Hudson Sidewalk ADA Accessibility Compliance Improvements Project to address critical pedestrian infrastructure deficits throughout the city. According to the US Census Bureau, the City of Hudson has a population estimate of 6,072 (2019 U.S. Census), of whom 17.5% have a disability and are under the age of 65. While the facilities were built to the building and code standards at the time of construction, the majority of the public spaces within the City were largely designed and built before the enactment of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). As a result of this and the age of features within the City, instances of noncompliance are present which limit accessibility for many residents and visitors. The lack of crosswalks, dangerous intersections, and increasing truck traffic makes pedestrian travel difficult, especially for individuals who are mobility challenged. It is a high priority of the City to create a more walkable city, with safe streets that are accessible to everyone. The City of Hudson is poised to take the next steps toward ADA compliance and improved accessibility for all residents and visitors. City of Hudson NY $5,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Gillibrand NY Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies The Interfaith Nutrition Network The INN has served 15 million meals since inception, 39 years ago. CTC has now served over 9,000 guests and had 61,844 visits since starting operation in 2016. The volume of visits grew by 17,669 in 2021 despite there being a pandemic. The visitor growth has meant that CTC has increased the hours of operation, and needs more space for volunteers and staff to see the guests. The INN guests continue to stabilize their lives through access to employment opportunities and public assistance benefits. The INN will use this federal funding to renovate a newly acquired building to accommodate both the expansion of existing and the creation of new programs that will meet the needs of our growing guest population. In addition to the new 20,950 square foot building, the INN campus includes a 9,500 square foot soup kitchen, a 2-story 5,600 square foot social services building, and a 9,800 square foot warehouse.

Senator Gillibrand NY Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Society of the United Helpers United Helpers is a vital provider of an array of post-acute and community-based services. We seek to strengthen our organization in part by renovating the former Adult Home in Ogdensburg into market-rate one- and two-bedroom apartments for short- and long-term leases. Our area suffers from a stark lack of quality rentals, in Ogdensburg and St. Lawrence County. Area businesses have difficulty attracting employees from out of the area for this reason, and acute-care providers struggle to house needed traveling health care workers. People independently interested in relocating to a more peaceful setting also only rarely find quality rental residences. UH's former Adult Home is a two-story facility with a view of the St. Lawrence River. Future tenants are already calling from near and far to ask about availability. We seek to renovate this property into quality apartment space that we will lease to current and future community members, so that we can never waver in our mission of providing our unique array of care, including skilled nursing, assisted living, speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, market-rate senior housing, certified home health care, subsidized senior and disabled housing, care coordination, mental health clinics, transitional and supported housing for people experiencing mental illness, and residences and support for people with developmental disabilities and brain injuries.

Senator Gillibrand NY Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Visiting Nurses Association of Central New York, I Currently, nearly 20% of the population of Rome, NY is sixty-five and older, with the numbers projected to grow by another 9% by 2026. With almost one-third of the population being 65 or older, the need for affordable senior housing in Rome, NY is evident. The transformation of the Beeches into a senior living community will not only provide accessible, affordable housing for the residents but is also taking a vacant property that is at risk of becoming blighted and turning it into a benefit for the entire community. Most individuals who move into a senior living community are from the local community. They move to a senior living community for a multitude of reasons including, less property maintenance, accessibility (there current home no longer meets their needs as they age), access to amenities, socialization, safety and security, personal care and healthcare options. They tend to be more active, happier, healthier, and are able to live independently longer. Syracuse NY $2,600,000 Website Letter

Senator Gillibrand NY Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Responsive to Our Community Turning Vacant Buildings in Syracuse Into Affordable Housing For Victims of Domestic Violence. The impetus for this request is the astronomical increase in building material costs over the last two years. These increased costs have severely impacted our mission to rehab dilapidated buildings in Syracuse. We are currently rehabbing two buildings on South Salina Street in the Valley area, and, unfortunately, had one building broken into in January 2022 that resulted in ten sets of kitchen appliances that had been purchased and were temporarily being stored there, stolen. This has been reported to Syracuse PD who indicated they will not be recovered. In addition, this funding is needed as we pay our carpentry trainees minimum wage throughout their three-month training period and then place them with the local union hall that provides them with an opportunity for long-term, gainful employment. While we are currently operating with funding from a New York State grant, we would like to continue to grow our operation to rehab more buildings as the demand for affordable apartment housing is at an all-time high in the Syracuse area. Shelters are filled and Vera House, the Salvation Army, and Catholic Charities are continually in touch with us asking for available rental units for their clients. This funding would greatly help us fulfill our mission to help two highly vulnerable groups of people in our community. Liverpool NY $475,000 Website Letter

Senator Gillibrand NY Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies New York State Thruway Authority The New York State Thruway is the main highway linking NY’s major cities from New York to Buffalo. The highway was constructed in the 1950’s and is reaching a critical point where much of its infrastructure approaches the end of its useful life. This stage requires frequent and through inspections of bridges, tunnels, and other infrastructure to both assure structural integrity and prioritize replacement with a constrained construction budget. Current inspection processes, while effective and fully compliant with FHWA requirements, are time consuming and labor intensive limiting the number of inspections that can be performed each year. The current methods also rely on manual documentation of inspection reports limiting the amount of information included in each report. An added benefit is increased inspection crew safety as UAS are flown from the ground without the need to climb into the structure. Onondaga County NY $1,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Gillibrand NY Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Uptown Grand Central Taxpayers have been awaiting the Second Avenue Subway for nearly a century now, since the first proposal to build it back in 1929. Delayed by the Great Depression and then decades of competing budget interests, the Second Avenue Subway Phase II is now estimated to cost $6.3 billion, making it one of the most expensive transit projects in the world. The Community Planning Study for the Second Avenue Subway Phase II will generate a neighborhood vision and priorities for the project, to ensure that the plans of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) effectively meet the needs of on-the-ground residents and commuters, and maximize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the long under-resourced East Harlem and Upper Manhattan to achieve both economic and transit equity.

Senator Gillibrand NY Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Village of Ossining The Village of Ossining has contracted with engineering & planning firm Creighton Manning to study how Route 9 could be altered via a "Road Diet" to foster better economic development and pedestrian safety, while potentially also adding parking in one or both directions where practicable. Traveling from North to South, the Route 9 corridor changes from two to four lanes at the Cedar Lane intersection and continues at this width throughout the majority of the Village. Working within the existing curb-to-curb width of Route 9, the road diet would balance the corridor for more modes and uses by reallocating some of the space for vehicle traffic to pedestrians, flex space, and new on-street parking for 100 spaces, which is anticipated to boost economic activity. This study includes a technical analysis of the current conditions along Route 9 in Ossining and how, in concert with New York State DOT, the road can be reimagined to break down the divide between the east and west sides of the Village and better connect the two neighborhoods. The Road Diet will be designed to foster better economic development, enhanced walkability and pedestrian safety, while potentially also adding parking and/or bike lanes in one or both directions where practicable. The design and construction of the road diet would balance the corridor for more modes and uses by reallocating some of the space for vehicle traffic to pedestrians, flex space, and on-street parking, correcting a community divide that was created via Urban Renewal Ossining NY $4,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Gillibrand NY Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Village of Kiryas Joel "There are low rates of auto ownership and trips per household in Kiryas Joel, but rapid growth in users and outdated and incomplete urban two-lane roads present potential to cause safety exposures and congestion. This transformative physical road rehabilitation and intersections operational investment will retrofit the most strained parts of this community's grid, thereby providing for better overall mobility now and extending pedestrian-oriented, high density land use into the future. Kiryas Joel's Highway and Pedestrian Safety Improvements project bolsters intermodalism and complete streets by remediating 23 congested intersections, enhancing sidewalk capacity and achieving universal design. In this rapidly growing community, the intersection upgrades will improve geometry and add new and upgraded signals and one roundabout, add turn lanes, plus underwrite the installation of pedestrian safety accommodations. Together these improvements will provide for safe use of streets and increased capacity within them, which can facilitate steady and reasonable speeds, as well as safe and freer movement. Resources are assigned to rehabilitate subbases and repave routes exhibiting poor conditions, fix layouts, improve street lighting, add modest lane widths, widen existing sidewalks from five to six feet, plus install sidewalks where streets have them only on one side, or where there are no sidewalks at all. There is a need for operational upgrades in roads and intersections in the community's southern tier to help facilitate and manage growth. This project will provide for safe and high throughput in selected intersections, while it upgrades road cross-sections, geometry and completeness to support long-term mobility."

Senator Gillibrand NY Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Clinton County Clinton County acquired many buildings when the United States Air Force decommissioned the Plattsburgh Air Force Base, of which many of these buildings were left in disrepair. Federal funding through the FAA-AIP program is limited in its applicability, as the program generally does not support airport building improvement projects other than passenger terminal buildings. Aviation-related building developments and subsequent revenues are a key component to sustaining airport operational expenses, which has been amplified even more as a result of the COVID pandemic. While various state-funded competitive funding programs have been offered, the demands have far outweighed the limited funding that has been awarded to generate a meaningful return on investment. This grant funding will be targeted towards enhancing industrial activity and job creation, while generating a sustainable revenue stream. Clinton County NY $5,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Gillibrand NY Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Town of Poestenkill The Town of Poestenkill is requesting Federal funding to support an expansion of its municipal water supply system to include the Algonquin Middle School and its surrounding neighborhoods. Testing of the drinking water conducted in 2021 at the Middle School and in homes in the surrounding area found levels of PFOA and PFAS exceeding New York State guidelines. Phase I of the proposed extension (Water District #2) will address the immediate need to protect the health and safety of more than 670 students, school staff and hundreds of residents in the surrounding area. Installation of a public water supply completely eliminates the need to rely on individual wells and individual PFOA/S treatment systems that must be constantly maintained to ensure performance. Algonquin Middle School, is served by two water supply wells (Well #1 and Well #2) located on the property. Water sampling for PFAS in the Middle School water supply wells was conducted in January of 2021. Results showed levels of 13 ppt of PFOA in both wells on school grounds, exceeding the MCL of 10 ppt. The public water supply wells were retested and results indicated that PFOA was detected in both wells at 12 ppt. Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), another PFAS, was also detected but below its MCL of 10 ppt. Subsequently testing was initiated in homes in the area surrounding the school.

Senator Gillibrand NY Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Albany Deferred maintenance and a piecemeal approach to some repairs of City Hall at Albany have led to visible deterioration in some areas of the structure. The building's robust masonry exterior is made up of two exceptionally high-quality building stones, but repair materials selected during the 1970s work have led to premature failure and deterioration of surrounding and some underlying materials; such as masonry and ferrous metal anchors. The use of caulk in the joints of the main tower roof is not a long-lasting solution for an inaccessible location. Its failure has led to decades of water ingress and allowed for extensive plant growth on the roof surface and deterioration of underlying masonry ties. In order to address this issue a preliminary existing condition study was commissioned out to understand the prevailing situation in more detail. A report made by an architectural firm confirms the urgency of carrying out the roof repairs and exterior facade restoration. Albany NY $5,000,000 Website Letter

"The Metropolitan Opera is a proud anchor cultural institution on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in Congressional District 10, the largest nonprofit performing arts organization in the US, and an employer of over 3,000 people representing 15 unions. The Met at Lincoln Center, one of the city’s largest public gathering spaces, presents heightened safety and security requirements. The facility covers 788,200 square feet on ten floors with a theater built for 3800. When the building was built in the 1960s, the fire alarm system met the then-current 1938 NYC Building Code. A new 2014 NYC Building Code-compliant fire alarm system is needed. The complexities and historic finishes within the building dictate a four-phase installation to take place. The existing fire alarm system will remain operational until the completion of the new system. As is the case with any important safety system, it is imperative that upgrades be made before a problem exists, not in response to one.

Senator Gillibrand NY Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station Construct a two story, 4,980 SM (53,600 GSF) permanent construction facility to consolidate the 914 AES, 328 ARS with Crew Readiness, 914 OSS, and 914 OG functions. The existing 914 OG is geographically spread across Niagara ARS in several buildings, none of which are located on the flightline. Being spread across multiple facilities and with no significant access to the flightline hampers command and control, makes coordinated training more difficult and less efficient, duplicates functional spaces, and increases mission response time. The 914 AES is located in Building 804, a 1950s era facility with significant deficiencies and infrastructure issue. The 914 OG, and OSS are located in Buildings 807 and temporarily in Building 321, an intended tanker/boom simulator facility. Building 804 is one of the worst condition buildings on base and will require major renovations to maintain functionality and code compliance. Additionally, there is no current dedicated crew readiness facility. Crew readiness exercises are currently performed in B-500 Billeting. Construction of a new facility will enable demolition of Building 804 as well as B-403, a 1950s era Civil Engineering facility in equally poor condition. Existing B-807 will be repurposed to accommodate Civil Engineering personnel as well as to right size other entities on base in order to facilitate future demolition and consolidation initiatives. If the project is not executed, the Operations functions will continue to occupy multiple facilities as stated above – with associated space and mission deficiencies resulting in a significant detriment to their missions.

BardBac students enroll full-time on Bard’s campus and enter a network of students from Bard’s other adult education programs — in libraries, community organizations, and prisons — who are doing college in unconventional places, often against considerable odds. We seek to fill a deficit of $250,000 to cover the cost of student books, select room and board scholarships for students in greatest need (5 next year, 8 the following, and 12 for years thereafter), and limited “commuter” meal plans for students traveling to campus to eat and connect with other undergraduates."

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies New York Theological Seminary For the past 40 years, NYTS has offered the Master of Professional Studies (MPS) program at Sing Sing Correctional Facility. Through this program, NYTS contributes to the work of de-carceration through education by preparing students for careers in faith, leadership, chaplaincy, community development, and public policy advocacy. This work assists in the fight against poverty by equipping students with an advanced degree and the life skills necessary to secure and retain employment to support themselves and their families. The only graduate degree offered in a New York State Prison, the program has graduated more than 520 men, boasting a recidivism rate of less than 10% over the entire life of the program and less than 1% for those released over the past five years compared to the 43% recidivism rate in the state. We are hoping to endow and scale this program up by offering it at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for women. Westchester County NY $500,000 Website Letter

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory "Over the past decades, breakthroughs enabled by Artificial Intelligence have gone beyond the lab and are now entering the clinic. Already, the Food and Drug Administration has approved the first AI-based triaging tool to detect breast cancer on mammograms. Scientists at CSHL have gone far beyond simple x-ray imaging - our revolutionary AI-based technologies in ‘spatial transcriptomics’ will be applied to patient tissue samples to measure beyond the conventional genes within the tumors. After all, to diagnose cancer requires that we understand not only the underlying genetics but also the cells within a tissue and surrounding the tissue. Development of this promising technology holds the capabilities to characterize cell types and understand the critical cellular interactions, or ‘signaling pathways’, within tissue architecture. This enables a deeper understanding of the molecular organization of healthy and diseased tissues that provides the prognostic tools that define staging of cancer, and precision medicine. For the first time, CSHL cancer biologists’ side-by-side with AI scientists apply AI-based diagnostics to patient tissue samples. In solid cancers, conventionally cells are isolated losing the cellular interactions between cells and their relative location within a tissue. AI-based ‘spatial transcriptomics’ technology overcomes this limitation and provides profiling of the entire tumor without isolating the population of cells. These signaling pathways hold the key to understanding the cellular interactions that cause cancer progression, ultimately to leverage the diagnostics and prognostic tools into better treatment options."

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Lifetime Assistance, Inc. Lifetime Assistance is seeking to change the paradigm of what people with developmental disabilities in the greater Rochester region can do. We want to level the playing field and bridge the gaps created by lack of access to technology to break down barriers that prevent people from achieving equity in all aspects of their lives. People with intellectual/developmental disabilities have incredible capabilities. They also are more likely to have little or no access to technology that can facilitate critical functionalities and mobility, hearing/vision, independent living, skill development and employment, and access to communication and information, all of which provide for healthier, and more independent lives and equal participation in society. With the appropriate assistive and adaptive technology devices, the sky is the limit to what people with disabilities can do. With greater and improved mobility, there is also less reliance on staff, a major concern due to nationwide staffing shortages. To achieve our goal, we are proposing a major expansion in the use of a range of proven technology to be embedded in key service areas and Day Services, Residential Services, and vocational settings. By incorporating technology use into these areas, we can reimagine abilities and continually reinforce skills so that they build upon each other and become integrated into all aspects of daily living activities.

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Freeport Union Free School District The Freeport UFSD is seeking to create a to state-of-the-art sports complex for the community to participate in sporting events and large gatherings. According to the NYS of Health, obesity rates in NYS and across the nation has reached epidemic proportions. Creating communities that support healthy choices and accessibility to physical activity opportunities increase efforts to reduce and prevent chronic diseases. The percentage of New York State adults who are overweight or obese increased from 42% in 1997 to 63.2% in 2019. The percentage of New York State adults who have obesity increased from 16% in 1997 to 27.1% in 2019. Obesity among children and adolescents has tripled over the past three decades. Currently, a third of New York's children are obese or overweight. Obesity also disproportionately impacts specific racial and ethnic minority groups, including Hispanic and Black non-Hispanic adults who are the majority group in Freeport. They have higher prevalence of obesity and are more likely to experience worse outcomes from COVID-19. Freeport was one of the hardest hit communities on Long Island with COVID. Along with the risks for life-shortening chronic diseases, being overweight contributes to poor mental health associated with low self-esteem and depression. Promoting athletic programs physical fitness through sports will help decrease numbers of premature death and disability for an increasingly large segment of New Yorkers. The creation of this new sports complex will give students and the community access to a state of the art facility to partake in athletic programming. Nassau NY $1,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies St. John Fisher College Few schools have needed resources to blend students’ love of athletics with success in school. The first issue is motivation. As noted by Muhammad, Students didn’t know their why; Why come to school? Why do things to succeed? Athletics gives them a why. Within Rochester, 30% of residents live at or below the poverty line, which is double the state average. As a mirror of this poverty, almost all students in the Rochester City School District are financially disadvantaged (89%) and many will be the first in their family to attend a 4-year college. However, 50% of the high schools in the district are in receivership. While the overall high school graduation rate hit a high of 71% in 2021, only 56% of students earned a Regents diploma. According to the Principal of Monroe High School, Jason Muhammad, athletics may serve as a key motivator to improve these statistics. As he observes, Data from the Rochester City School District reflects the national trend: the more sports students play the higher the Attendance Rate, the higher the Graduation Rate, the higher the overall Grade Point Averages, and the lower the Suspension Rate. By partnering with St. John Fisher College, students will gain experience in the expanding field of biomechanics through the development of the Laboratory for the Enhancement of Athletic Performance (LEAP lab).

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies St. Joseph's Health There is a high demand for cardiac sonographers in the Central New York region and a lack of the resources to provide this specialized service for patients. Health care facilities regionally struggle with the ability to attract, hire and retain cardiac sonographers from the distant areas that offer the specific training required. Many of the highly sought cardiac services in our organization and surrounding organizations that attract patients and physicians to the area, heavily rely on the services provided by the limited resource of cardiac sonographers. The result of this is cardiac sonographers are often overworked, the recruitment is highly competitive, scheduling of surgical procedures is delayed and patients sustain long wait periods for echocardiograms.

NYCB Teaching Artists, in collaboration with classroom teachers, introduce students to NYCB's repertory, engage them with themes in the choreography and music, and focus on dancemaking through collaborative creative writing and movement. In addition, Teaching Artists attend diversity, equity, and inclusion training at the beginning of the school year. This training is well-received by Teaching Artists, and based on this positive feedback, NYCB's education staff has made several changes to the curriculum to encourage students to bring their own creativity, voice, and perspective to the residencies. All residency curricula support federal, state, and city dance education standards. In a typical season, student matinees, two of George Balanchine's The Nutcracker in December and one of mixed repertory in February are a key component of all residency programs, bringing NYCB's choreography and music to life and giving students an experience of attending a performance at the David H. Koch Theater. The final component of the residencies is the culminating performance at the students schools, during which they are able to showcase all they have learned by performing the dances they have created together.

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Hofstra University "In order to serve our community clients, the Saltzman Community Services Center is in great need of a system that provides electronic health records (EHR). An EHR system would update our record keeping, scheduling and patient tracking in a manner that cannot be accomplished by the continued use of paper records. An EHR system would create a way to efficiently create, maintain and store patient records. The patients would be able to fill out forms in line before even coming to the Center so that clinicians would have demographic and clinical information before seeing the patient. Once the patient is seen, the clinical assessment can be written up, immediately shared with the clinical intake team and a recommendation for services provided to the client in a very timely manner. The Joan and Arnold Saltzman Community Services Center at Hofstra University provides low-cost cutting-edge services to members of the local community. These services include psychological assessment, individual, couple and family psychotherapy, speech-language therapy and audiological assessment and intervention. These services are offered to people throughout the lifespan. Over one thousand people are seen and over five thousand patient service hours are logged annually. No one is turned away because of the inability to pay for these much-needed interventions." New York NY $50,000 Website Letter

Its mission has also expanded to include COVID prevention and treatment trials. Through clinical trials, patients may gain access to new treatments not yet available to the general public. The information learned from these studies ultimately improve the health of people who are living with HIV infection.

The project at 49 W 23rd Street would expand CCTU's space by enlarging critical lab space and increase its ability to participate in existing trials and take on additional trials to better support its patient population. The project will also provide ancillary space, such as a dedicated procedure room/exam room and administrative space to support the center's growth in trials. This location is ideal as it is located in an environment with a high need for HIV-related interventions and where several key populations are well represented.

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Borough of Manhattan Community College BMCC's Cohort Experience for New Students (CENS) aims to replicate the success the college has achieved, in terms of student retention and success, through its existing cohort programs, for a larger cadre of incoming students. Student departure theory explains that quality integration into campus life through formal and informal engagement is the foundation for persistence and retention. Characterized by shared experiences, holistic supports, and continued engagement, cohort programs provide consistent contact opportunities between students, staff, and faculty, developmental programming, and the financial, social, emotional, and wellness support that has been shown to help keep students in school and on track to graduation. The CENS initiative, to be piloted for 500 incoming freshman in the Fall of 2022, will provide a newly envisioned baseline support structure for those who did not self-select into the existing cohort programs. Once enrolled, students will be assigned a support team who will guide goal achievement, address academic and financial difficulties, and ensure integration into the campus community. MetroCards, food vouchers, and stipends for textbooks will be provided as incentives and for those in need. Each student will have a personalized roadmap with program milestones that will complement enhanced supports and intentional tracking to keep them on the path to success. By incorporating these best practices gleaned from our other cohort programs, CENS will improve the student experience, streamline access to resources, and lead to improved overall student success.

Even prior to COVID, NYS and the country faced a growing crisis in terms of our nursing and allied health professionals workforce pipeline. The situation was only exacerbated by the hundreds of thousands of retirements and exits from the healthcare workforce brought on by the stress of the pandemic. The requested $1.5M in funding would complete phase one of the College of Nursing expansion project, including the procurement of local engineering and other necessary approvals and permit applications, architectural and construction contracts and support, project management support and phase one site development. Subsequent funding is tentatively committed pending fulfillment of phase one.

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue As a referral site for mental health care for all 11 public hospitals in New York City, Bellevue provides care for the underserved New Yorkers with mental health issues. As a result of the increased amount of Mental Health issues due to Covid, our population of patients has increased over the capacity of our 18th Floor CPEP temporary location. The current pandemic has spotlighted the need for more mental health care in New York City. This is evidenced by the need for more increase of inpatient and outpatient mental health services.

We provide care, support and prevention services for often underserved and marginalized persons. We offer curative treatments for one of the largest cohorts of patients with tuberculosis in NYC. We also provide curative treatment for Hepatitis C, which involves procuring costly medication, for patients regardless of their insurance coverage/ability to pay. Since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, we have provided care for thousands of HIV-infected patients and their families. Our services include the primary care management, treatment and prevention of HIV and other STDs. Our HIV clinic is nationally recognized as a center of excellence. Our clinic population of over 1,400 persons consistently has a viral load suppression rate over 94%, one of the highest in NYC. The ability to continue these services and offer additional services in a compassionate and welcoming manner is central to our vision and commitment. Despite the excellent clinical care we provide, our clinic space itself is very old and looks very old. It is in dire need of repair, since the space is original to the building (1950’s) and has never received any upgrades. This project will modernize the suite, bring the space up to current code, and improve both the patient experience and clinical care-giving environment. This project will create a modern space for Infectious Disease patients where they can continue receiving high-quality care in an atmosphere of warmth and comfort.

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Joseph P. Addabbo Family Health Center, Inc. Joseph P. Addabbo Family Health Center proposes to create space through renovations and alterations to house a Diabetes Wellness Center to serve the residents of the communities it serves. The Wellness Center will provide a comprehensive array of diagnosis, engagement, education, peer support groups, culturally and ethnically sensitive nutrition education and guidance, diabetes management tools and a coordinated provision of appropriate primary services (podiatry, dental, cardiology, ophthalmology, etc.) to primarily a low-income and disenfranchised community that suffers from an exceptionally high rate of Type 2 Diabetes often left undiagnosed. This leads to an inordinate and unacceptable number of residents who are then sentenced to unnecessary health and life risks, including amputations. The use of Federal Funds to address the growing pandemic of diabetes across the nation will also assist in reducing the health care disparities currently existing in low-income communities such as those served by JPFHC by including self-management techniques and provisions for at-home self-monitoring. Additionally, there will be space for active support groups and family participation. Outreach will be conducted throughout the community and referrals will be accepted into the program with JPAFHC serving as a medical home.

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Crouse Health Crouse Health is requesting federal funds to enhance the rapid evaluation unit of the Emergency Department (ED). Crouse Health's facilities team will work with a chosen architect to reconfigure current space and build out into an adjacent area. The Emergency Department benefits the community by serving as a resource for ill and injured patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This universal accessibility can make it extremely difficult for patients and medical staff as patients arrive unscheduled at all times. Emergency Departments are increasingly busy across the country, including Onondaga and surrounding counties. The three hospitals located in Syracuse work together to maintain capacity as much as feasible. The increase in usage has a number of contributing factors, including the urgent medical needs of people who have put off medical care for the past two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Senator Gillibrand NY Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Town of Montgomery The well itself is a 400 foot deep, 8 inch diameter open hole bedrock well with a 23 foot by 8 inch steel surface casing grout sealed through the overburden. A 72 hour pump test was performed in July 2006, the results of which indicated that the aquifer on site was capable of long term sustained yields exceeding 150 gallons per minute. This increased capacity could serve to address the growing water supply demand for the Town well into the future, serving as a single project that would result in decades of meaningful benefits for residents. Before the well can begin to be used, the Town must construct a proper wellhouse to ensure the integrity of the well itself, while also establishing the means by which it can be regularly monitored. Water production rates at the pumping well will be monitored on a regular schedule, yielding information regarding well efficiency and potential declines in yield. Additionally, a groundwater level monitoring program will be instituted at the well field to provide data regarding the hydraulic impact of production. Groundwater levels will be measured at the pumping well on a weekly basis, and the monitoring well on a quarterly basis. A database of water levels and production rates will be established and maintained in order to best address routine reviews and evaluations. This will allow relevant staff to monitor performance of the well and proactively determine its maintenance needs, as well as defining the actual radius of influence surrounding the pumping well.

In addition, as a financially distressed safety net hospital, Jamaica Hospital serves a high volume of low-income individuals covered by Medicaid. Taken together, the hospital receives a treats a high volume of complex surgical cases. Due the hospital’s financial distress, related to the inadequate reimbursement received for the medical services provided, it does not otherwise have access to funding for this essential surgical equipment that will benefit patients by providing access to high-quality surgical equipment that is better equipped to handle complex surgical cases. The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the significant health and economic inequities, and deeply rooted institutional disinvestments, that have persisted across the communities of color and low-income neighborhoods of New York, including the communities served by Jamaica Hospital. These communities experience higher rates of poverty, higher chances of being uninsured, and poorer health outcomes, and were disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in higher COVID-related hospitalizations and deaths.

Senator Gillibrand NY Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Town of Ticonderoga In Ticonderoga, There are 105 Households that make up the Route 74 Chilson-Eagle Lake area whom require a new Water Source and Transmission Main. Currently receiving drinking water from Gooseneck Pond, there is a Department of Justice Decent Decree requiring disconnection, due to health and safety risks of this poor quality water provided to these users. The distribution main from the Pond is exposed in areas, is shallow, aged (1890s-1930's), has pitting, tuberculation, and leading resulting in frequent breaks, especially in winter. The 105 households receiving this water, cannot afford the $ 12,000,000 M new water system. The new source will provide safe, and healthy water, as opposed to the exposed pond, which was deemed undrinkable in 2018. Socially (and legally), the Town, that received these Federal orders, cannot disconnect a drinking water source to the members of the Town without a new water source provided to them. There are other areas of the Town that receive drinking water from another source, and therefore, cutting the 105 users off would leave social and geographic inequity, because of where they live in the community, having to hook up to a water system provided to them over the past 100 years. Environmentally and geographically, the homes cannot support individual wells in all locations, as there is ledge rock, small lots, waterways, wetlands, and proximity to existing septic systems.

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Action for a Better Community, Inc. Action for a Better Community's location at 33 Chestnut Street, Rochester, NY which provides outpatient chemical dependency and HIV services to low income individuals, is in need of a roof replacement. The property was purchase in 2001 and has the roof that was in place at the date of purchase. Due to normal wear and tear, the roof has sections where it is leaking causing possible damage to the underlying decking and internally to the ceiling. Securing funding to make the necessary replacement will divert water and prevent structural damage which negatively impacts the facility and program operations with minimal repairs that will last approximately 20 years.

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Action for a Better Community, Inc. ABC has 35 years of experience reaching low-income African American and Latinx populations that have not been responsive to traditional providers with HIV, STD, Hepatitis and sexual health services in the City of Rochester and Monroe County. HIV has been increasing in the City of Rochester since 2019, particularly with the simultaneous COVID19 and opioid/heroin epidemics, with the highest rates among young African American men. Rochester's low-income neighborhoods with limited access to health services also have higher rates of HIV, Hepatitis C and STDs. HIV tests have to be administered within a specific temperature range to be valid. ABC's attempts to find alternate street and neighborhood pop-up testing has not been successful due to lack of air conditioning. Access to a mobile unit where we can control the temperature of the testing environment and the privacy of the individuals tested would help resolve these issues. ABC would be able to increase CLIA waived HIV testing with risk reduction counseling and linkage to PrEP and other needed health services for highly impacted and under served populations.

Senator Gillibrand NY Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Genesee County Countywide water improvements have been a longstanding top priority for the County. These strategic improvements will yield both operational and supply benefits by consolidating County water systems under one regional operator. In addition, it will allow for water supply from the Great Lakes via the Monroe County Water Authority rather than from the limited and threatened supply within the County. The current facility at the City of Batavia is over 100 years old and does not have the capacity to grow the water supply. The County needs to go with this planned solution that will provide quality water to all its users and be sufficient for expansion and economic development throughout the County. This is an immediate urgency to advance additional supply within this phase in order for Genesee County to avoid water restrictions, improve the state of the water, increase economic development and avoid needing to deny the formation of new water districts for future growth. In addition, the increasingly intense weather events threaten water quality, streambank stability, natural habitats, and the built environment within the County. Each component of this water strategy is important and will impact the residents and businesses positively as the County works to change where they are sourcing their water.

The program will seek to continue to investigate and GIS map all service lines in the City of Batavia. As the City confirms the presence of lead service lines we will work to replace lead lines (design, water service shut-off, construction, restoration, etc.). The City will ask residential and commercial property owners to self-submit pipe photos for analysis by the City. If lead is present we will work with residential property owners for replacement. Up to 240 lines could be replaced under this program. The new Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) requires City's to investigate and identify any and all potential lead and galvanized material in the public water system and in private homeowners connections. To this end the City has been pro-active and was awarded a $554,112 grant from the New York State Department of Health to replace 80 lead services lines from the main to the curb stop and that project closed out in March of 2022. To further comply with LCR the City has used $250,000 of ARPA funding to work with an engineering firm to develop a plan to address the LCR, and to build a base map via GIS of all the private and municipal services in the City.

Senator Gillibrand NY Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Town of North Hempstead The Harbor Links Golf Course Gray Water Management project will critically reduce the Harbor Links Golf Course’s dependence on municipal water supplies. The overall water management system as currently configured can’t meet the Golf Course’s irrigation needs on a continuous basis without supplemental potable water sourcing from the Port Washington Water District (PWWD). As Port Washington has undergone significant residential and commercial development, it has put strains on the PWWD’s ability to commit to meeting the Course’s annual water needs. As a result, the PWWD has on occasion limited the volume of potable water supplied to the golf course, creating conditions that could cause significant physical damage to the greens, tees and fairways resulting in a loss of revenues and the need for expensive repairs of the playing turf. **The current irrigation system is also approaching its useful life and has experienced failures (leaks) in the above ground steel piping.

Voces Latinas is a 19 year-old culturally responsive community agency with the mission to empower, educate, and connect immigrant Latinx with culturally competent services and resources to address HIV/STI prevention, gender-based violence, mental health, and immigration needs. Through our programming, we reach 8000 individuals per year, serving 4000. Our expertise accessing our community lies in our years of experience in the identification and understanding of the immigrant experience and the barriers that come along with such an experience. Our staff and Board are representative of the target population as most are from the community and have experienced similar journeys as our clients. We propose the development of a center of excellence in mental health because there is currently, nor has there ever been, a center focusing on addressing Latinx mental health care in the area of Western Queens where over 60% of its residents are Latino/Hispanic. Through our years of personal and professional experience, we know the current medical model does not serve our community because insurance is not always obtainable. Our center will ensure everyone, regardless of insurance or immigrations status, will be seen. We propose a comprehensive program that includes a culturally competent outreach team, a team of patient navigators, and a team of mental health providers. COVID has unfortunately exacerbated the need for mental health. Our program will assess for other needs, providing holistic care and connection. " Queens County NY $14,000 Website Letter

Senator Gillibrand NY Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Hudson River Park Trust Hudson River Park is a unique, 4-mile park along Manhattan’s West Side waterfront that has transformed previously dilapidated piers and adjacent formerly industrial lands into beautiful, accessible parkland, serving as a model of an identified strategy in the New York State Forest Action Plan. The park’s 2,246 trees are vital to improving the health and livability of New York City. Caring for urban forests is also key goal of the NYS Forest Action Plan, and the Hudson River Park is centrally situated within a priority landscape. This urban forest not only helps reduce the impacts of climate change, but cool its surroundings, absorb storm water, and provide critical habitat for wildlife in a highly built environment. Trees in the Hudson River Park withstand punishing marine conditions – facing high winds and salt spray from the Hudson River, and effects from the heavily trafficked adjacent State roadway. This project will advance additional goals of the NYS Forest Action Plan by assessing the health of is urban forest, bringing in trained arborists to evaluate the trees, looking for signs of pests and disease, performing immediate care and making recommendations for future corrective actions.

The job coach supports DHH clients in all phases of supported employment from initial counseling through job placement. The job coach accompanies DHH clients on job interviews, acts as a communication facilitator, and supports clients in maintaining employment. Recruiting a job placement specialist and coach can be challenging, as these professionals must be fluent in ASL in addition to understanding the unique culture and needs of the DHH population."

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies VISIONS/Services for the Blind and Visually Impair Funds will support the instruction of 100 blind youth from the ages of 10 to 26 participating in residential training programs that take place at VISIONS Center on Blindness (VCB) in Spring Valley, New York. VCB is a 37-acre fully accessible campus in Rockland County, which houses a Vocational Rehabilitation Center (VRC) that is the focal point of this program. The VRC was created in 2017 to fill a critical gap for blind “Youth In Need” who have completed high school, are unsure about college or vocational training and/or withdrew or failed in college. The VRC is a 16,000 square foot, 32-bed, two-story wheelchair accessible building designed specifically for residential programs for participants with vision loss, and offers a state-of-the-art technology and computer center, a fully equipped training kitchen and laundry facilities, classrooms and meeting rooms, dining hall and several lounges promoting informal gatherings and peer support. The VRC houses all programming supported by this project. Blind youth supported by this funding may participate in residential training programs that focus on pre-vocational skills, pre-college readiness, technology training, and vocational skills training. All training programs also incorporate the learning and reinforcement of independent living skills such as safe travel through Orientation and Mobility training (O&M) and life skills through Vision Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT). Licensed social workers are also an integral part of every residential youth program, and provide support for the mental health of youth participants, with individual and group counseling and connection with community resources upon completion of programming.

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies New York University College of Dentistry There are approximately 22 million veterans in the U.S. today, of whom 9 million are enrolled in the VA Health System. However, only 1.2 million veterans are eligible to receive dental benefits through the VA. The VA provides limited dental services, for which veterans must meet strict criteria for outpatient dental care to be covered under the VA Benefits Package. As a result, many veterans without dental insurance simply abandon the search for care, leading to dental neglect and worsening conditions that too frequently leave the veteran with no recourse other than to seek costly emergency care. The requested funding will be used to provide preventive education and comprehensive dental care to thousands of Veterans in the New York City area who are not eligible to receive those services through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The program provides preventive education and dental care at no out-of-pocket cost to the Veteran. Brooklyn NY $500,000 Website Letter

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies The Institute of Family Health The Institute for Family Health, one of the largest federally qualified community health center (FQHC) networks in New York State (NYS), is seeking funds to enhance our efforts to prevent opioid overdose deaths in underserved communities in New York City (NYC). The need to prevent opioid overdose deaths in NYC cannot be overstated. According to the NYC DOHMH’s Unintentional Drug Poisoning (Overdose) Deaths in NYC in 2020 Epi Data Brief, there were 2,062 overdose deaths in NYC in 2020, and the rate of overdose death increased from 21.9 in 2019 to 30.5 per 100,000 NYC residents in 2020. Fentanyl was present in 77% of overdose deaths in 2020—the most common substance involved in overdose deaths for the fourth consecutive year. Further, according to a new NYC DOHMH report released in April 2022, there were 1,233 confirmed overdose deaths in NYC during the first two quarters of 2021, compared with 965 overdose deaths within the same period in 2020. The report states that more New Yorkers die from overdose thahomicides, suicides and motor vehicle crashes combined, and that Bronx and Harlem neighborhoods have the highest rates of overdose death in NYC. Additionally, according to the NYS Department of Health (NYSDOH) 2021 Opioid Annual Data Report, 2,939 overdose deaths involving any opioid occurred among NYS residents in 2019, and there has been an overall increase of 200.2 percent in the number of overdose deaths involving any opioid from 2010 to 2017.

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies SCO Family Services According to data provided by the Bureau of Early Intervention at the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Black children are less likely to be referred to EI than children of other races. Moreover, once referred to EI, Black and Latinx children are less likely to make it through the enrollment process. These two trends are particularly acute in Brownsville and surrounding neighborhoods in NY-09. In 2018, nearly 54 out of every 1,000 white children in NYC received EI services Only 32 out of every 1,000 Black children in Brownsville received EI The disparities in EI enrollment persist to this day Inequitable access to CPSE is perhaps even greater for Brownsville than the inequities in the EI system, while the citywide trends by race demonstrate barriers to access for Black and Latinx children, who comprise the majority of children in Brownsville. NYC Department of Education (DOE) District 23, which encompasses Brownsville/Ocean Hill, is unique among the DOE’s 32 Districts in its lack of access to CPSE services, demonstrating deep, systemic flaws in CPSE processes According to a 2021 report on CPSE during the 2019-20 school year released by the DOE to NY City Council, District 23 ranked 31st or 32nd in its CPSE referral rate, its percentage of referrals deemed eligible, its percentage of referrals that hosted an IEP meeting, and its percentage of referrals deemed eligible for services who had attained those services by the end of the school year Glen Cove NY $241,000 Website Letter

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Developmental Disabilities Institute DDI seeks funding in the amount of $485,000 for the replacement of the roof at our Early Childhood Center located at 1 Scouting Boulevard in Medford. DDI’s Early Childhood Learning Center offers a nurturing environment, utilizing the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis to foster growth and development in early learners (ages 0-3) and preschoolers (ages 3-5) diagnosed with autism. We achieve a remarkable 88% placement rate of special education preschoolers into their home school district by kindergarten. This project will replace approximately 13,625 square feet of the roof that has not been replaced since before DDI acquired the building in 1998. The integrity of the roof has been compromised by weather and wear resulting in leaks and damage throughout the building. Leaks due to rain compromise the learning environment of our young children. In these Applied Behavior Analysis classrooms, many DDI students suffer from transitional issues. The difficulty with transitions is not intentional, rather the child struggles with making the cognitive adjustments necessary to their normal routines. As a consequence, transitions for children with autism are often accompanied by stress, anxiety, and frustration. Thus, when classroom areas, entrances and corridors must be blocked off due to leaks, it becomes unsettling and disruptive for our students who require predictability. Further, the Medford site has recently been renovated to add classrooms in order to expand access to learning for children with disabilities. The prevention of water damage is important for DDI to keep these new classrooms refreshed and safe. Suffolk County NY $485,000 Website Letter
Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies NYSARC Inc., Ulster, Greene, Putnam Counties Chapt The project would focus on creating a direct entrance to our primary clinic location in Kingston, NY. Our current entrance requires patients to navigate through programs that are not directly affiliated with the clinic. It additionally requires individuals to navigate through multiple hallways and corridors, which can present a hardship to individuals with mobility concerns. The creation of the new entrance would provide an open waiting area that would be accessible to individuals utilizing wheelchairs. It would also allow patients to access a larger elevator that would accommodate individuals using wheelchairs, along with their caregivers. Additionally, this project includes the addition of equipment that would allow our providers to support a broad range of individuals and make that support easier for our patients to access. Specifically, the addition of new medical equipment at our Kingston, NY location would allow our medical providers to support patients with higher needs out of this location. Currently, patients with greater need (i.e., limited mobility or issues related to obesity) may need to travel to our office in Carmel, NY (Putnam County) to have access to certain medical technology. In addition to these improvements, we have elicited feedback from our patients and hope to make additional improvements based on this feedback. This includes increasing the availability of technology needed for telehealth, and upgrading our Sensory Room (which is used regularly as part of Occupational Therapy and Behavioral Health Services, often for individuals with Autism or Dementia).

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies New York Medical College Americans everywhere expect schools to provide safe learning environments. Schoolchildren in underserved and low-income communities deserve and need equity in safe learning environments, which in turn requires equity in protection from potential threats to their safety, inside and outside school. Teachers, school leaders, and staff deserve protection as well, but training in disaster and terrorism preparedness and response is often limited to a few schools and mostly in more affluent areas, leaving schools and parents in diverse communities without the needed training to protect their children and neighborhoods. New York Medical College is uniquely suited to fill this gap through its locally and nationally recognized program for disaster preparedness in schools. Westchester NY $1,800,000 Website Letter
Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Burke Rehabilitation Hospital "Neurorehabilitation is most effective when delivered as soon as clinically possible after the illness/incident, and reduction of time between the two is critical. Acquisition of new capital equipment/advanced technology, and construction of an outdoor mobility terrain park will help Burke meet that goal. To expand our rehabilitation program and prepare our patients (persons living with complex neurological disorders/SCI/SCD/stroke/brain injury) for life after rehabilitation, project addresses demands for immediate multidisciplinary rehabilitation services for the neurological patient population. Burke seeks to expand services for our catchment area, while focusing on eliminating health disparities for the historically medically underserved population living in Bronx County, especially residents living with neuro-challenges. New equipment will provide advanced rehabilitative therapies: exoskeletons and gait-analysis walkways provide individualized gait therapies; BITS 3.0 system & gait trainer treadmill combines visual/cognitive/motor/balance assessment, training, includes music-assisted therapy to promote better movements in neuro-challenged patients; VisualEyes assess/treat central/peripheral vestibular pathways; electrical stimulation cycle incites contractions in denervated muscle groups, reduces muscle atrophy and spasms, promotes muscle re-education. Construction of outdoor mobility terrain park (the first and only in our area) mimicking external community landscapes and barriers (curbs/ramps/hills/grassy/uneven terrains) in a secure setting allows patients to practice wheelchair and adaptive device training, walking, maneuvering in real-life situations, optimally preparing patients for transition back into their communities and make them more ready to function normally and participate in activities without issue.

Funding the Junior Docent Program is in the best interest of the taxpayer because it provides much-needed social and emotional support, and academic enrichment to at-risk teens and engrains responsibility, professionalism and hands-on training for the future workforce. This award-winning program—which has been recognized by The White House with a Coming Up Taller Award—provides access to safe, high-quality, in-person learning, bringing the teens exceptional, relevant, and thought-provoking cultural experiences, while showing them how to play an active role in the important conversations and changes in our global society. The HRM is committed to offering paid work opportunities to the Junior Docents so that the teens are not forced to choose between this important leadership training experience and other paid positions outside their area of interest. Many of the teens use their earnings to supplement their family income. The Junior Docent Program fosters positive behaviors in an exciting and supportive environment, surrounding students with peers, mentors, and diverse professionals who are stakeholders in their future. The program cultivates confident young thinkers, many of whom are the first generation in their family bound for college, to see themselves in leadership positions, and to embrace the opportunity and social responsibility of helping the next person rise up following in their footsteps.

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Freeport Union Free School District Currently, the playground area students are using is separated into three sections including dirt, concrete, and rubber mulch. All three areas are not the most conducive for young children who utilize the space for outdoor learning and playing. Our plan to renovate this space includes one ground covering that incorporates a padded turf playground surface, which meets all critical fall height safety requirements as well as appropriate playground equipment, seating, and interactive learning tools. Having playground space and equipment are very important for the development of early learners. A playground helps young children with balance and teaches them to know where their body is in space. It also gives practice with fine motor skills (gripping the chain), gross motor skills (pumping the legs to swing higher), and coordination (putting it all together). All children need playgrounds to explore and develop and to just be kids, especially those who live in poverty, where the local playground might be the only time they get to play. Over 70% of our Freeport children come from low-income homes. The renovation will not only enhance the aesthetics of the area for the community, but it is needed mostly to address the safety and usability of the space. Additionally, research shows that outdoor learning has a variety of benefits on students' mental health and academic performance. Students are often calmer and better able to focus when they learn in nature (outdoors) and teachers in Freeport have reported better behaviors and social interactions with fewer disciplinary issues when they incorporate outdoor learning/activities into students' school day.

Creating communities that support healthy choices and accessibility to physical activity opportunities increase efforts to reduce and prevent chronic diseases. The percentage of New York State adults who are overweight or obese increased from 42% in 1997 to 63.2% in 2019. The percentage of New York State adults who have obesity increased from 16% in 1997 to 27.1% in 2019. Obesity among children and adolescents has tripled over the past three decades. Currently, a third of New York's children are obese or overweight. Obesity also disproportionately impacts specific racial and ethnic minority groups, including Hispanic and Black non-Hispanic adults who are the majority group in Freeport. They have higher prevalence of obesity and are more likely to experience worse outcomes from COVID-19. Freeport was one of the hardest hit communities on Long Island with COVID. Along with the risks for life-shortening chronic diseases, being overweight contributes to poor mental health associated with low self-esteem and depression. Promoting physical fitness activities (walking, running, jogging) with access to a safe and well-maintained track will help to decrease obesity and promote improved health for students and the community at large. The replacement of the track surface will improve the aesthetics of this widely used area and it will make the track safer to use by students and community members that often use the track.

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Fulton-Montgomery Community College Fulton-Montgomery Community College (FM), serves an economically challenged area of Upstate New York. As New York has become a leader in supporting new agricultural methods, including federally-approved industrial hemp production, FM's been at the forefront of developing the hydroponic training programs necessary for growing the agricultural workforce. FM has worked collaboratively with local businesses to develop innovative and accessible programs that quickly train and provide certification to students entering the hydroponics field. Currently, FM's specialized hydroponics course takes place at a shared lab facility through Hamilton-Fulton-Montgomery Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (HFM BOCES) since FM lacks its own Hydroponics Lab on campus. FM can only use the HFM BOCES lab in the evening hours, after high schools students have been dismissed. As a result, the number and schedule of course sections offered each semester is limited. This constrains the number of students FM can enroll and train. Constraints on program offerings and student enrollment ultimately stalls FM's ability to scale the hydroponic workforce and meet the demands of expanding businesses in the region. FM is thus requesting funds to equip a Hydroponics Lab on campus. FM has already had great success in recruiting and enrolling these programs, especially across the adult student (25+) population. The addition of an on-campus lab will enable FM to scale the program and grow the workforce in a way that meets local, regional, and state need. It will also serve to attract new businesses and revitalize the struggling economy of FM's service area. Fulton County NY $50,000 Website Letter
Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Valley Health Services Construction of a new, state-of-the-art, 160 bed skilled nursing facility with a 20 bed neurobehavioral unit and a 20 bed memory care unit in Herkimer County, NY will address a significant unmet need in upstate New York. The new facility will focus on services needed most by the community and will address current service gaps such as end-of-life care, dementia care and specialized units for sub-acute, clinically complex residents and those with neurobehavioral conditions. Once the new facility is constructed, Upstate New Yorkers will be able to access neurobehavioral services locally, close to family and friends, and will no longer need to access those services out-of-state or in the New York Metropolitan Area, where even the capacity there for neurobehavioral care is insufficient to meet what is essentially a statewide demand for those services.

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies One Brooklyn Health System One Brooklyn Health System member hospital Interfaith Medical Center (IMC) is expanding its currently constrained emergency department (ED) that was last renovated more than 30 years ago. These renovations will enable IMC to renovate its ED with a modern, improved layout that will enhance patient care and improve patient satisfaction as well as patient safety. At project completion, the medical and psychiatric emergency departments of Interfaith Medical Center will be fully renovated to provide improved healthcare to the entire One Brooklyn Health service area, including Brooklyn and NYC residents. The upgraded infrastructure, equipment and technology will enable the system to provide even better care to patients with some of the worst health outcomes in the NYC. The system will also be better prepared to be nimble and responsive to another surge or pandemic-level event. As one of the areas in NYC that was tremendously affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, our safety net system has demonstrated how all its member hospitals and especially its emergency departments immensely contribute to the provision of vital medical and psychiatric care for one of the most vulnerable communities in NYC and NYS. The total cost of the OBH Interfaith Medical Center (IMC) Emergency Department Modernization project is approximately $28.4 million, and construction will take slightly more than two years to complete. OBH requests $7,000,000 in Community Project Funding to address budget shortfalls resulting from COVID-related surges and delays including supply chain and labor shortages as well as market inflation for materials and labor.

Senator Gillibrand NY Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Town of Seneca Falls The existing Bayard Street culvert is a submerged culvert that is need of repair and is a risk for our community. This is a very old stormwater culvert that was constructed, creating Van Cleef Lake, the culvert became submerged and increasingly difficult to inspect and maintain. The culvert is failing and the Town does not have the funds to make this repair and are pursuing federal funds to get this project fixed. This has resulted in the road being closed off and on due to this issue and problems of the inspections and repair. This is adjacent to tourist attractions and downtown neighborhoods. The culvert is an important structure of the water system that pushes water in and out of the canal system in Seneca Falls and also is acting as a traffic load-bearing structure for Bayard Street. We do not want to see these kinds of structures go unattended to and/or maintained regularly as an emergency could happen as it is a central roadway of getting around downtown.

Senator Gillibrand NY Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Hornell Crosby Street is a highly travelled route between Hornell, NY and Alfred, NY as an alternative to Route 21. This makes its safety and maintenance a concern to commuting students and staff from both Alfred State College, and Alfred University. When the bridge on Route 21 near the Almond Dam is blocked off due to flooding (as it has many times in the past), Crosby Street becomes almost a highway as it is the only direct road out of the City to reach Alfred. The existing water main and drainage system are over 50 years old and need continual maintenance, which results in damage to the road's pavement. The water main is also undersized based on current standards and needs replacement to provide the necessary fire flow demand. Damage to the road's pavement can create safety concerns for drivers, and possibly road closures. Steuben County NY $1,500,000 Website Letter

Senator Gillibrand NY Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Hornell "Ten States Standards recommends that when a pipe crosses beneath surface water, a minimum cover of five feet should be provided unless otherwise approved by the reviewing authority. This can be applied to the transmission mains that convey raw water from the reservoir system to the Water Treatment Plant. The recommended cover can be provided by the construction of additional encasement on top of the exposed mains or by re-routing the pipeline below the stream at the crossing locations. After discussion with the NYSDEC, the preferred permissible solution would be the installation of new sections of pipeline below the stream as this method minimizes impacts and fill in the stream, and reduces the potential for local environmental harm including flooding. An opinion of probable construction costs was completed for re-routing the pipeline by conventional trench construction estimated at $1,000,100." Steuben County NY $800,000 Website Letter

Senator Gillibrand NY Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Village of Cayuga Heights The funding requested is to implement the requirements of the Federal National Primary Drinking Water Regulations. After a year-long delay for review and comment, the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR) became effective on December 16, 2021, with a deadline of October 16, 2024. The clear intent is to protect the American public from the harmful effects of lead contamination in drinking water. In anticipation of the ruling’s finalization, the Village of Cayuga Heights, in cooperation with the Southern Cayuga Lake Intermunicipal Water Commission, Bolton Point, has worked to identify lead supply lines. 20 homes have been identified with lead drinking water supply lines and 227 have been identified where the pipe materials are unknown, despite an exhaustive search of records dating back to the early 20th century. The project proposes to remove and replace the 20 knowns and investigate the 227 unknowns, which must be assumed to be lead until investigations reveal otherwise. Once the investigations are complete, the village will engage a civil engineering firm to develop both documents for the 20 known replacements and a plan for the removal and replacement of the pipes for homes found to be supplied water from lead service lines. At this point, funding is not available for replacing pipes on private property and NYS municipal law prohibits municipalities from undertaking this work. But it is hoped that in the near future funding may become available for their replacement as well. Tompkins County NY $467,000 Website Letter

The youth in HAUP's service area's high need immigrant communities in Brooklyn and Queens are in need of youth development services to provide employment, training, and skills-building opportunities. The communities served by HAUP experience a range of specific needs stemming from a range of social determinants of health and co-occurring risk behaviors, including poverty, low educational achievement, poor quality housing and high rates of homelessness, mental health issues, and substance abuse socioeconomic disparities; related disparities include poor access to health care, poor community health, high rates of uninsured persons, high rates of substance use and alcohol abuse, extensive poverty, and high rates of crime and violence. As a result, the service area contains neighborhoods with some of the poorest and least-educated residents in NYC. For example, the poverty rate in Crown Heights is 26.5% and 40.1% of residents receive public insurance. Youth in the service area face additional unique challenges and barriers.

On-site interpreters would lead students—both on-site and virtually—in exploring the lives of the enslaved through demonstrations of their work and using historical documents as critical thinking prompts. Support would allow HHV to develop and provide a comprehensive, integrated, professionally-reviewed set of resources for teachers to incorporate into their teaching, such as curricula, lesson plans, videos, interactive multimedia, online content, activity and discussion guides, historical context, and access to primary source documents. We would work with consultants to ensure that these resources meet core standards. Teacher training would build capacity for NY teachers to use these resources and meet core standards effectively. As more teachers participate in HHV’s training, HHV’s online educational hub will also provide a space for teachers to share best practices, ask sensitive questions, and support each other.

Eventually, thousands and thousands of students across New York State will be impacted by the dissemination of the results of this project as well as the impact that can have nationwide. This project will work to eradicate the sources of inequities and create a plan to sustain change in 3 very different communities which together represent similar challenges to the rest of the communities currently serving students with schools identified in the 2021-2022 NYSED receivership list. This is a project that cannot wait. The economic benefits of investing in public education at the local, city, state, and national levels are well documented. We cannot eradicate inequalities in our State as long as we have low performing schools. The funding allows us to share responsibility with the district and school administrators, as well as the entire community in a true collaborative process with shared and distributed leadership, true collaboration, to create oases of opportunity in communities."

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Abyssinian Development Corporation "CRASEL Expansion project addresses the social emotional needs of underserved students, using an innovative methodology that can be replicated for all underserved students across the State of New York. Innovative techniques that the project employs are: 1. Engagement of school leaders in self-reflective racial identity work such as creating a racial autobiography helps them understand how their own lived experiences influence their mindsets and leadership in the classroom, which leads to them modifying their curriculum, texts and topics so they are more culturally relevant and prioritize student identities. 2. PD (Professional Development) clearly focuses on implementation steps in SEL (Social Emotional Learning) and CRASEL (Culturally Responsive and Social Emotional Leadership) that are grounded in research-based best practices. This is innovative because there is currently no PD that focuses on implementation of SEL and CRASEL this way. 3. The CRASEL project includes calming practices such as student-led mindfulness that can dial down stressful situations and bring the focus back to learning. 4. Engagement of the adults in their own critical self-reflection, which does not typically happen, fosters positive relationships between families with school communities and education systems. 5. The development of the schools in a cohort model combines support with sustainability because leaders are supported over a period of time in professional learning communities with cycles of learning."

Senator Gillibrand NY Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Casa Belvedere, The Italian Cultural Foundation Saving a NY Majestic Landmark adapts the formerly dilapidated vacant property as a cultural institution that is embraced by the general public as a must see tourism destination. The Louis A. and Laura Stirn House offers historical significance with its unique structural details and designs. While far from a direct copy of an Italian Renaissance villa, the Stirn house exhibits such characteristic features as the block-like form of the main portion of the house, the symmetrical treatment of the principal facades, the stucco cladding, the low-pitched hipped-roof covered with terra-cotta tiles, the deep overhanging eaves supported by brackets, the columned porticos, and the arched first-story windows surmounted by smaller rectangular windows. Other elements of the design, such as the stylized Ionic capitals of the porch columns and bracketed keystones of the window surrounds and the decoration of the wrought-iron balustrades, the polychrome terra-cotta frieze and elaborate bracing beneath the roof eaves reflect the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement of the early 20th-century. The federal funds requested will be used for restoring and preserving the Stirn House by 1) replace the rotting floor joists and hip rafters to ensure structural stability; 2) frame and partition the upper level walls with molding, spackle, prime, paint and trim; 3) install three ADA approved bathrooms with waste, water, and vents piping; 4) replace vinyl window with historically accurate terrace doors; and 5) install parking pavers, curb, landscaping and irrigation system. The integrity of this majestic landmark needs to be supported. New York NY $500,000 Website Letter
Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies NYS Energy Research and Development Authority "As reported in NYSERDA’s 2021 Jobs Study published on behalf of the New York State Climate Action Council’s Just Transition Working Group, demand for clean energy jobs is expected to increase more than 60 percent from 2019 to 2030, adding at least 211,000 new jobs in New York State. The vast majority of these 211,000 new jobs fall within the four sectors of focus. Included within each of these sectors are a myriad of job types, such as the following: Building Electrification (Greater than 114,000 jobs) Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Mechanics and Installers Solar (Greater than 30,000 jobs) Solar Site Assessors (Wholesale and Manufacturing, Technical Products) Machinists (Computer Numerical Controls or CNC) Electromechanical Equipment Assemblers Advanced Manufacturing (Greater than 43,000 jobs) Offshore Wind (Greater than 14,000 jobs) Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers Cement Masons and Concrete Finishers Other studies project even more total economy employment beyond these four cornerstone clean energy sectors in New York; thus, these forecasts are conservative. The State is preparing for significant job growth and workforce transition in support of the unfolding clean energy economy. NYS needs to support workers that can fill these jobs addressing professional and technical training needs while helping reduce other barriers to employment for targeted populations. This proposal will support 200 new workers in a model that can easily be expanded." Albany County NY $5,000,000 Website Letter

Homeless families and those living in public housing are significantly less likely to complete a referral from a primary care medical provider. Lack of transportation, lack of childcare, lack of disposable funds, lack of education and a general lack of understanding of the need for specialty care renders traditional specialty referrals largely unhelpful. Studies have shown that increasing chronic condition screening through on-site specialties reduces acute care later on. Queens County NY $1,041,000 Website Letter

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies CUNY Dominican Studies Institute at The City Colle Within the history of the United States, New York has long been synonymous with diversity. Home to the Finger Lakes, whose foliage demonstrates that multiplicity is our inherent nature; the Dominican Juan Rodriguez, a mulatto from Santo Domingo who settled on Manhattan Island among the Lenape people in 1613, becoming New York City's first immigrant; the Ellis Island, where millions of immigrants from the world came through as one; The Stone Wall Inn, where those rejected by society banded together to assert their right to dignity and belonging; and Woodstock, where love bonded people of all backgrounds before the eclectic sounds of rock & roll. These events, among others, repeatedly, show the world that variety and difference are our strengths—and that cultural diversity is one of our fundamental values, which we fiercely safeguard and defend—because these parts are what make us whole. The proposed CUNY CHLI proposes to further this tradition by emphasizing the legacy and cultural diversity that is so inherent to New Yorkers. It will make the abstract—concrete—and equip our teachers with the tools necessary to recognize the diverse cultural historical legacy of their students. Taking such action will pose us to honor difference and to foster greater understanding of our community at large. New York NY $809,000 Website Letter
Senator Gillibrand NY Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies The Carnegie Hall Corporation A $500,000 investment through the Save America's Treasures program would significantly assist in the successful completion of this large preservation project for Carnegie Hall. Federal funds would be used towards conservation and preservation of the landmark building and to guarantee the public continued access to the historic concert hall. While the damage was discovered in the course of regular building inspection, the severity of the threat to this historic property goes well beyond the standard repairs and maintenance typical of these inspections. Inspectors determined that if immediate action was not taken to remedy the façade and exterior issues, the building would need to be closed until safety precautions had been arranged. To mitigate the urgent threat to the building and to address the pressing public safety concerns, emergency scaffolding was erected, enabling a more comprehensive inspection and scoping of the project. Restoration and repair work will address the façade's narrow gauge, redoman brick, the extensive amount of terra cotta elements on all three facades, and the significant metal ornamentation, including the cast iron fire escape. The granite elements at the base of the building, as well as bluestone windowsills and lintels for nearly 400 windows, will also be comprehensively restored. All work is undertaken consistent with historic preservation guidelines and requirements. New York NY $500,000 Website Letter

Senator Gillibrand NY Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies National Parks of New York Harbor Conservancy Federal Hall in lower Manhattan was the site of the United States Capitol where 91 Congressmen and Senators debated and defended this new idea of representative democracy. As we revisit these historical milestones from 230 years ago, Federal Hall; not just the place, but the ideas and ideals established here; remains as relevant today as it was then. In 2023, drawn from our trove of historical evidence, we intend to display some of America's most consequential yet unheralded documents gleaned from the Federal Hall Archives now hidden away, stored in a warehouse in Staten Island. These collections will form the basis, along with loaned items, of a historic display to be interpreted on-site in conjunction with the launch of public and educational programs. Our request is for the purchase of 6-10 museum and preservation quality display cases that will protect items from Federal Hall's collection as well as visiting documents and artifacts from other collections which we are poised and intend to acquire. These cases will safeguard invaluable and treasured documents from the unpredictable interior lighting, temperature, moisture vapor and security conditions of the building. Of museum-quality, these display cases will include a cabinet with one, or often more, low iron, anti-reflective transparent glass surfaces, automatic interior LED lighting, hidden moisture control compartments, integrated alarm systems and adaptations for mobility to allow for maximum flexibility and arrangement within the building. Most importantly, these cases will help us secure documents on-loan and preserve these items while on view. New York NY $500,000 Website Letter
Senator Gillibrand NY Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper's Riverwatch Program has confirmed Harmful Algal Blooms in Hyde Park Lake nearly every year since 2017. Frequent algal blooms, degraded ecosystem function, and other water quality impairments negatively impact aquatic life, recreational uses, and economic development. Revitalizing this waterway, will not only serve the fish and wildlife species which rely on healthy shoreline environments, it can also act as a catalyst for community and economic revitalization. The goals for this Phase 3 living shoreline project will expand the impact of the previous projects implemented in this waterbody already. This typically includes modifying shoreline contours to create a gradual transition between the land and water and support robust native shoreline plant communities which include aquatic, emergent, and riparian plant species. Just like the first two phases, this concept will serve as the starting point for further design development by a design professional. A design consultant, selected through a competitive bid process, will lead design development with input and guidance from Waterkeeper and project partners, from the schematic phase to full construction documents. Schematics will be based upon the conceptual site design developed by Waterkeeper. The consultant will also be responsible for identifying and completing data collection and surveys (including but not limited to topography and bathymetry), identifying and securing all necessary permits, and performing construction contract administration services. Upon completion of final design, construction bidding documents will be developed, and a competitive bid process will be initiated to secure a construction contractor for project implementation.

Senator Hirono HI Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Hale Kipa Project will increase the community of parent leaders in Hawaii, create a parent leadership support group, and provide parent specific support through skill building, leadership, and coaching. Funding will also be used to establish a community based behavioral health clinic and assessment center, and it will allow for individual parenting skill and parent leadership classes to the community at large to increase knowledge of current issues and challenges involved with parenting a child. These classes will utilize culturally relevant programming. The request would support Hale Kipa in their efforts to create a financially self-sustaining behavioral health clinic and assessment center by allowing them to rely on a fee-for-service billing program. Poverty impacts wellbeing and attention to certain supports and therapy can positively impact the future of the family and enhance wellbeing. Poverty adversely affects children’s mental health through family and community-level factors. Families living in poverty perience a unique array of stressors (such as food insecurity, housing problems). These stressors can increase parental risk for mental health problems and substance abuse, which can diminish their capacity to engage in positive parenting practices (such as warmth and responsiveness, nurturance, supervision) and increase the potential for child abuse and neglect. By establishing Hale Kipa as a Family Support Center for those in need, the goal is to be a hub of resource fulfillment. Activities such as job fairs, produce/dairy boxes giveaways, connections for childcare, group classes on professional writing for employment are just some of the activities that would help Participants meet their needs. Additionally, the clinical component of the program will assist with the assessment and support of mental health matters that impede skill development, learning and employment engagement.

Senator Hirono HI Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies YWCA Hawaii Island Project will support an initiative to demonstrate the feasibility of breaking the cycle of intergenerational trauma by healing trauma caused by Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) among new parents with multiple ACEs and providing support to enable them to provide an ACE-free childhood for their young children. The purpose of this initiative is to demonstrate the efficacy of combining three evidence-based interventions, including 1) Healthy Families America family engagement and support; 2) the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) recommended Seeking Safety Intervention to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance use disorder (SUD), and mental health issues; and 3) the Circle of Security to promote mother-infant attachment for infant emotional health. By combining these three approaches, the goal is to demonstrate a two generation approach to break the cycle of trauma. Home visiting advocates will focus on serving the highest risk families and those most likely to enter child protective services. One hundred expectant or new parents with four or more ACEs will be enrolled in year one into the combined family support and treatment services aimed to reduce parental PTSD and behavioral health issues and to avert child abuse and neglect while promoting healthy emotional development of their infants. Initially program staff will conduct validated assessments for PTSD, SUD, mental health, and domestic violence. An independent evaluation accounts 30 percent of program cost.

Senator Hirono HI Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies The Filipino Vet Recognition and Education Project The Filipino Veterans Recognition and Education Project (FilVetREP) was established in 2014 to address a glaring omission: the lack of historical awareness and recognition of the extraordinary contributions, heroism, and sacrifices of Filipino and Filipino American Veterans. FilVetREP is continuing these efforts with outreach and education. There is an urgency, due to the fading firsthand testimony of the Veterans as well as a need to ensure that American students, particularly those in middle and high school, understand this chapter in U.S. history. There is also a particular relevance to our current moment, as the past few years have seen an unsettling rise in anti-Asian hate, violence and xenophobia. Many states in response have passed resolutions supporting expansion of Asian American studies in college and K-12 curriculum, and FilVetREP seeks to support educators in meeting this goal as described below. FilVetREP received FY 2022 funding for its project to build upon resources in Duty to Country and Under One Flag by creating expanded educational materials (lesson plans, explainers, activities, a graphic novel, and oral histories) readily available for educators to download at no cost and use in the classroom to teach students about the role of Filipino American Veterans in World War II and how the consequences of decisions made after this conflict greatly impacted civil rights in the decades after. Among other things, this funding will allow them to reach out to and partner with school districts, county offices of education, charter and private schools, and individual educators.

Senator Hyde-Smith MS Financial Services and General Government Mississippi State University One of the goals of the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station is to provide technical, creative, and educational service to the food industry, entrepreneurs, and regional communities through research that focuses on food innovations, quality, safety, and sustainability. These student-driven “innovate services” will include concept ideation, proposing business and marketing strategies, product development, preference evaluation, and food safety and regulatory considerations. In short, a think tank and sounding board that attack a food innovation concept or problem from multiple angles. In the current framework of revisioning food science at Mississippi State University towards a larger food innovation platform, funds from this initiative would be used to renovate existing food pilot plant facilities and a former meat science laboratory into creative spaces to conduct more directive food products research and testing, serve a clientele-base needing food innovation advice and expertise, and to train future culinologists how to do food products research. Funds would also be used to support ground-floor projects as testbeds for product development, and faculty/student/stakeholder engagement through challenges to create new or improved food products from regionally important commodities.

Senator Hyde-Smith MS Financial Services and General Government Mississippi State University Mississippi State University Libraries is the home of the Ulysses S. Grant Association and the Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library. Since its headquarters were moved to Mississippi State in 2009, the Grant Association and the Grant Collection has seen exceptional growth with donations from a wide array of Grant collectors and Grant descendants who saw the excellent work being conducted in support of preserving Grant’s legacy and providing greater access to the Collection through digitization. Further, the Grant Collection has been used by numerous scholars including Ron Chernow for his #1 New York Times bestselling books Grant and Ronald C. White for his New York Times Bestselling book American Ulysses: A Life of Ulysses S. Grant. To date, the Museum has hosted nearly 20,000 visitors. MSU is overwhelmed with the outstanding support in FY 22 for this important facility and the legacy role it will serve. Given the rapid inflation that has occurred since initial project submission and the corresponding increases in the construction cost, this funding will ensure the original design can be constructed as planned.

Senator Hyde-Smith MS Financial Services and General Government University of Mississippi Medical Center CURATION, DIGITIZATION, CATALOGUING, EDITING, AND ONLINE PORTAL $337K TOTAL 1) THE 16MM FILM AND 35MM SLIDE COLLECTIONS Transfer of films to a 4K digital format $175,000 The RML holds approximately 175,000 feet of 16mm film original films, many of which visually document groundbreaking surgical procedures done right here at UMMC. While they are currently in archivally safe storage, the nature of the 16mm format is to decay over time. For that reason, it is essential to digitize and save these films from historic oblivion. Current rates for 4K transfer to digital files range from .40 cents to $1 per foot. We are asking for $175,000 to professionally transfer what our medical professionals and historian deem the most important of these films. Other associated costs are as follows: $10K for contract medical consultation Professional medical review of the films to determine • Which are of the greatest historical value • Which should have narration added to describe the surgical techniques capture film • Which are initially most important for public display $20K Writing narration and recording of voiceovers by a medical professional to describe the surgical procedures as they unfold on screen. $10K Editing the narration to coincide with the silent images in order make them accessible in an online format to researchers and the general public and editing short clips as highlights for online promotion of the larger collection $6K The Dr. Peter Blake Photographic Collection documenting UMMC from 1955 to 1985 (6339 35mm slides) Transfer @approximately .80 per slide 2) THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE ORAL HISTORY PROJECT $26,000 TOTAL Digitization of approximately 29 oral histories featuring physicians instrumental in the development of UMMC and recorded between 2000 and 2010 $1K Transcription of these oral histories $2K Editing of the full oral histories as well as highlight clips $10K Online sharing of these histories on a dedicated web page $3K Continued production of oral histories with key figures in Mississippi medicine, some of whom are over 85 years old $10,000 over three years 3) CURATORIAL PROJECTS $90,000 Personnel Cost Curation of the Wilbur Parsons Papers Curation of the Dr. Julius Cruse Collection Curation of artifacts from the COVID-19 Pandemic and its impact on Mississippi health care WEST STREET ARCHIVE EXPANSION $3.65M TOTAL The University of Mississippi Medical Center’s Rowland Medical Library currently maintains a satellite archival space located on UMMC’s West Street Facility on the grounds of the Old Farmers’ Market. This over 8000 sq. ft. space houses physical books the library is required to maintain for accreditation purposes and a small portion is currently being retrofit to house the collection of human remains being exhumed on the Asylum Hill Cemetery site. With the expected exhumation of approximately 4000 sets of human remains from the Asylum Cemetery, however, it will be necessary to add to the climate-controlled, video monitored secure area adjacent to the current RML space. The current area will accommodate only about 500 sets of remains in standard archival bone boxes in additional to the journals and books that UMMC is required to maintain. GENERAL CONSTRUCTION BUDGET BREAKDOWN: $1.9M structural remediation of the building (reinforcement of weight bearing supports, replacement of rafters, etc.) $1.2M complete removal and replacement of roofing material $400K exterior weather proofing $100K utilities/infrastructure $50K new bathroom $3.65M Total Jackson MS $3,987,000 Website Letter
Senator Hyde-Smith MS Financial Services and General Government University of Mississippi Medical Center CONTINUED DATABASE AND WEB INTERFACE DEVELOPMENT FOR IMPROVED DIGITAL ACCESS $310K The AHP is currently developing a database under a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) grant, but needs additional funding to complete the data input for the thousands of public records from the Asylum’s 80-year history, many of which have been discovered since the NEH funding was awarded. Such data input is complex because formats and information evolved over the life of the Asylum. For this reason, consistent, paid personnel are needed to complete this task. The resulting database will be useful not only to scholars, but also to the general public, particularly the descendant community. This funding would also support: • Continued consultation with database professionals and UMMC Division of Information Services on best practices for database development $80K • Online digital storage and management $30K • Contract services with four historic data professionals for database input and with two IT profals for ongoing web interface updates. $200K OUTDOOR PUBLIC EXHIBIT AND MEMORIAL $280K The evolution of the Asylum Hill Project has greatly increased the interest in the history of the State Asylum. Scholars working with the project have uncovered thousands of pages of documents that were thought not to exist. The current historical work has underlined the need for a public exhibition about the history of the Old Asylum (1855 to 1935). Although many people make assumptions about the quality of care in such an institution, the real story is as complicated and nuanced as is Mississippi itself. An outdoor exhibit could serve as both an educational and memorialization tool—and one that helps destigmatize mental illness. The exhibition we envision is similar to the one in the photos below, but would be on a yet-to-be determined outdoor site on the UMMC campus. There is a similar exhibit at the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, developed and installed by Minotaur Mazes, a company in Florida. They ve developed a bid for our project including research, design, construction, and installation for $250K. The project could be complete one year from its start date. Additional funding ($30K) would be used for dirt work, site preparation, and development of access plans (parking) so that the exhibition would be easily accessible to the general public. ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL OUTREACH AND EDUCATION $110K The exhumation of the individuals buried in the Asylum Cemetery is a monumental task, but one that is in line with UMMC’s missions. In addition to the small staff of archaeologists and technicians who will work on the exhumations, the project also hopes to engage community members, not only by informing them about history, but also about archaeology. In the last decade, there have been no excavations similar to the one planned for the Asylum Cemetery in the United States, and the AHP is uniquely positioned to attract a new generation of archaeologists to Mississippi. Through outreach across the country, but particularly in high schools, community colleges and universities, we hope to attract students who are under-represented in the field of archaeology and nurture professional aspirations of those who would likely never be exposed to these career opportunities. Funding is needed for more robust communications and outreach efforts, specifically for contract staff who would consult and coordinate outreach for the project. • Contract outreach staff $90K • Travel for national outreach $20K PRODUCTION OF A DOCUMENTARY PODCAST $30K While the original archival resources for the history of mental health care in Mississippi are vast, they will not be readily available through the AHP’s work for at least another two years. Meanwhile, the AHP would like to produce a podcast that would cover important historical highlights gleaned from archival sources.
