Three Livingston County projects have been included among ten submitted by Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin for possible federal funding.
Last week, the 8th District Democrat said that of the 58 projects that had been submitted to her office from across the district, she was recommending ten of them for submission to the House Appropriations Committee for possible inclusion in the annual spending bill Congress will vote on for the upcoming fiscal year.
Among the ten projects is a $10.5 million proposal from the Brighton Area Fire Authority to fund construction of a Headquarters facility. In its application, the Authority noted that the current building âno longer meets the needs of the Brighton communityâ due to its age and needed repairs.
