Funding for Mound and Community Priorities Clears Committee Markup
Washington, D.C. Congressman Michael R. Turner (OH-03) announced today that nearly $10 million in federal funding for community priorities has passed through the Appropriations Committe. One of the projects funded in the bill is an additional $5 million in funding to help complete the cleanup of the Miamisburg Mound. Infrastructure improvement projects in Hillsboro, West Carrollton, Fairview Commons, and downtown Dayton were also funded in the markup.
Rep. Turner said, “After working with Congressman Dave Hobson to secure $30 million for the Miamisburg Mound cleanup in 2005, I am proud to help deliver an additional $5 million this year. I am glad I could help secure the funding to help finish this project. The Mound cleanup is important for both health and economic development reasons and will benefit our region for many years to come.”
