Senator Baldwin WI Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies University of Wisconsin-Madison This request proposes to develop the next generation of weather sensor and imaging technology for use onboard weather aircraft to monitor storm development. It will deliver the instrument development and result validation necessary for use by federal agencies.

Senator Booker NJ Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Woodbury In the proposed project, Federal funding will be used to address the crumbling storm water sewer system infrastructure in the City of Woodbury. The system was built over a period of time stretching from the late 1800s into the 1920s, meaning that some of the present system is over 125 years old. These sections are antiquated and well beyond needing to be replaced as Federici & Akin, the City’s engineer, have deemed a majority of the storm sewer system as well beyond the estimated useful life of the components. Over the last decade, there have been multiple issues caused by these deteriorating lines. Some of these issues were minor and only resulted in minimal flooding and expense to the city, while in another case, a collapse due to an exceptionally strong storm in 2019 created a public safety hazard and cost the City over $1.2 Million in emergency repairs that took over four months to complete. With funding from the Congressionally Directed Spending program, the City would be able to complete significant infrastructure upgrades and replacement of segments of the storm water sewer system that are deemed to be at the greatest risk of failure. The three (3) target areas of this proposed project that have been identified as those most in need of intervention (Jackson Street, Horace Street to Warner Street, and Acme Drive to Twells Avenue), portions of the system have collapsed and are continuing to deteriorate due to age. This deterioration is causing water to leach out into the surrounding soil, causing flooding and soil erosion in the immediate area. When this erosion is prolonged, it can lead to clogged pipes, further flooding, or – even worse – sinkholes. These collapses threaten both public and private property, including residential structures, and could cause driving hazards and fall hazards should they damage streets in the city. In one case (Horace Street to Warner Street), a stretch of aged pipe runs beneath the public parking lot of a low-income housing development. Should there be a collapse, emergency closure of this lot for emergency repairs would, at the least, result in residents of this development having no place to park and would limit access to the building. The proposed project will repair the system in places where pipes have collapsed, including the reconstruction of trenches, laying new sewer pipes and tying them in the with the existing system, and any filling, compacting, and paving necessary to complete the replacement. In places where there has not yet been collapse, pipes will be slip-lined where possible – an effective, time-, and cost-efficient way to shore up the structure of the piping. Where slip-lining will not be effective, pipes will be dug up and replaced as necessary. As emergency situations related to storm sewer failure are dangerous to the public and repairs are far more costly than proactive measures, these reconstruction projects are necessary as a preventative measure to protect the safety of the public, as well as the municipal budget of the City of Woodbury.

Senator Booker NJ Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Borough of East Newark To complete improvements to East Newark’s potable water distribution system.

Senator Booker NJ Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Hackensack The City's old, overburdened Combined Sewer System (CSS) and tidal influence of the Hackensack River lead to frequent Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) and severe localized flooding in public right of ways during wet weather events, also known as CSS surcharging. The project includes installation of stormwater infrastructure that will facilitate CSS separation efforts. The project is intended to provide public health benefits by reducing sanitary discharges to the Hackensack River during rain events, reducing or eliminating CSS surcharging, or localized flooding into private property and public streets, decreasing impacts to aquatic species and habitats in receiving waters, and allowing for separate connections from newly developed properties to the separated storm and sanitary systems.

These steps are being taken as a preventative measure to prevent a state-directed moratorium on economic and residential growth in the Town. Hammonton NJ $395,000 Website Letter

Senator Booker NJ Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Newark To repurpose the former CNJ Railroad Bridge by constructing a pedestrian bridge connecting Newark Penn Station to the City of Newark's central business and entertainment districts. It is anticipated that the City will issue bonds to finance the project. The debt service payments for the bonds will be primarily paid for by the 3.5% parking tax surcharge authorized by Governor Philip Murphy in 2020. However, due to the effects of COVID, the anticipated revenue collection from that parking tax surcharge will fall short of the amount needed to pay debt service annually in years 1 through 3. The requested funding will be pledged as revenue to securitize the necessary bond financing of the project cost and/or used to reduce the bond amount to be issued, thereby reducing the anticipated debt service on the bond financing.

Toms River NJ $10,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Booker NJ Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies County of Ocean The funding will be utilized for the construction cost for the Route 539 overpass bridge. Route 539 presents conflicts between military and civilian traffic, particularly in the summer months when the road is heavily used to access shore destinations. Larger military convoys have difficulties crossing Route 539 creating an unsafe condition and instead divert onto State Highway 70 where additional conflicts occur. In 2016, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JBMDL) commissioned a study to evaluate crossing alternatives to enhance accessibility to the training areas east of Route 539. The “County Route 539 Traffic Study” was completed in March 2017. The safest and most efficient alternative identified is the construction of a grade separated crossing (overpass bridge) on Route 539. The overpass bridge project would greatly benefit the federal missions of JBMDL. This connection would facilitate the current federal missions and allow greater access and flexibility for future missions by creating the direct link between the Air Force (McGuire AFB), Army, (Fort Dix), and Navy (Lakehurst NAES) areas of operation spanning Burlington and Ocean Counties. The overpass bridge will allow the Army to expand and protect its vital national mission at its largest site that trains troops of both the Army Reserves and the Army National Guard.

Senator Brown OH Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Bergholz EMS Bergholz EMS is seeking to enhance daily EMS operations by keeping all vehicles, supplies and operational tools in one location. This request will replace an aging, volunteer-built building. The small size of the building provides room for only one ambulance. There is no room for expansion. There is no parking. The Building does not have ADA accessible improvements. The building is leased from another community organization. Supplies and equipment are being kept in a separate building that belongs to Bergholz Fire Department (BFD). EMS personnel need an area to complete reports and general office duties. Volunteers need a place that accommodates meetings and training sessions. The current building does not permit these activities. EMS utilizes the BFD's space for training and activities.

Senator Brown OH Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Cleveland Tree Coalition The Cleveland Tree Coalition ("The Coalition") is seeking a Congressionally Directed Spending request of $1.5 million to restore the City of Cleveland's tree canopy, specifically focusing on disadvantaged communities of color. The project will leverage city and county funds to restore the City of Cleveland's tree canopy and increase canopy coverage from 18% to 30%. The Coalition will utilize federal support to engage communities of color in a multiyear approach designed to leverage urban reforestation efforts and reduce the effects of climate change. Urban communities, void of green space and adequate tree canopies, are subject to intense periods of heat and poor air quality. Indeed, these communities, referred to as "heat islands," can be 10-13 degrees hotter during summer months when compared to suburban neighborhoods with an established shade tree canopy. The project would span across FY22 and FY23 and focus on planting native tree species, well suited to urban settings such as oaks, sweetgums, and locusts. In addition to increasing the number of trees planted in the City of Cleveland, the project would also target resources towards community engagement and education. Trees will be planted in public green space. To allow residents to be partners in reforesting their neighborhoods, opportunities will be provided to plant trees on private property, effectively improving home values and reducing energy bills. Educational workshops conducted by the Coalition's team of expert arborists will further extend congressional funding by teaching participants how to properly plant, prune, and maintain trees to ensure long-term urban forest health. The Congressionally Directed Spending request meets the goals and objectives set forth by the Coalition. Cleveland OH $1,500,000 Website Letter

Senator Brown OH Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Arrowhead Joint Fire District Arrowhead Joint Fire District requests funding for the expansion of their current facility. The current fire station was constructed in the 1960’s and was designed for volunteers and smaller apparatus. In 2017, AJFD transitioned from an all-volunteer department to a combination department with paid firefighters. Presently, there are no sleeping quarters, lockers, showers, kitchen facilities, or training/conference rooms. This has been an issue as a small office, located in a different portion of the building, crammed with cots is being utilized for current sleeping quarters. Without showers, there is no way for members to completely clean themselves following a potential HAZMAT or COVID-19 response. Expansion plans would include an electrical system upgrade (which is currently overloaded) and automatic generator (current generator is manual) for entire building which also houses the police station and village hall offices. With the proposed expansion, the facility would meet ADA standards and have climate control allowing it to serve as a temporary shelter for warming and cooling during inclement weather and natural disaster.

Senator Brown OH Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Ohio Energy and Advanced Manufacturing Center The overarching goal of this project is to provide monitoring of agricultural runoff by sampling and analysis to provide data to assess the effectiveness of various treatment technologies so that farmers and advisors can make informed decisions that will ultimately result in improved water quality, including of the Great Lakes. There are various government programs available to help farmers design and pay for management approaches to prevent and control Non-Point Source (NPS) pollution. For example, over 40% of section 319 Clean Water Act grants have been used to control NPS pollution from working farms and ranches (https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2015-09/documents/ag_runoff_fact_sheet.pdf). In addition, many programs funded by states or by the U.S. Department of Agriculture provide cost-sharing, technical assistance, and economic incentives to implement NPS pollution management practices. Many local organizations also work to support technologies and practices to reduce water quality impacts caused by farming practices. The Soil and Water Conservation Districts play an important role in this in Ohio communities, and often have strong connections with farmers who are trying to implement conservation practices. While there are various incentives for farmers to make changes needed to reduce NPS pollution, there are often not methods in place for them to measure the effectiveness of their changes. Measuring the impact of the changes is important in order to assess which methods are most effective. This information will help farmers realize the effectiveness of their actions and will help to motivate other farmers to do the same. Once the mobile sampling platforms are built, they can continue to be used after the grant period ends, allowing this work to continue to generate more information to inform decisions on best practices. The platforms will become the property of the OEAMC and be available as a resource for future projects. Lima OH $263,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies City of Lousville The City of Louisville, Ohio, has strategically identified revitalization of its downtown area as critical to the growth and vitality of the city. A multi-year collaboration between city government and the Louisville Public Library, this effort has the potential to transform the immediate area and the city as a whole by further promoting mixed-use (residential, incubator, business) development of the downtown area while considering the inclusion of shared space and infrastructure for the city and library. Additionally, the project will create a park area to be used for community events with an outdoor amphitheater on the green. Given funding constraints, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the project is being considered in phases and includes enhancements to the Main Street Corridor, specifically widening of sidewalks, improvement of traffic flow and environmental improvements to include the installation of various types of vegetation; improvement of the Bauman Court alley way, to include outdoor seating areas, public art, lighting, brick and lawn surfaces, fire pits and a welcoming archway. The improvement to the Main St. Corridor and Bauman Court will increase safety of the area as Main St. is a significant source of heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic. The planned improvement will make the area more walkable while educating motorists on the designated crosswalks. Existing sidewalks are too narrow to allow for comfortable walking and outdoor seating in front of businesses and restaurants. The added improvement to Bauman Court will create a safe outdoor gathering place that will be used year-round providing much needed support to local businesses. It will also create an incentive for property owners with vacant buildings to make needed repairs and market the space. The tree canopy along Main St. and Bauman Court will provide areas for pedestrians to enjoy shade while also aiding stormwater and having other environmental benefits. The development of the greenspace controlled by the public library will provide an outdoor experience for the whole community. The amphitheater, open area and playgrounds will create an atmosphere for family entertainment and recreation. The mix-used facility will improve the downtown economy by having shared space for the library and public services. The creation of space for incubators will permit the combining of resources to assist startup businesses by providing needed support with no upfront costs for space. Louisville OH $3,500,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies City of Louisville The requested funds would support the development of the City of Louisville' Municipal and Public Services Building. The project is a key component of the city’s strategic plan to transform the downtown area to drive long-term economic growth, while centralizing city administrative functions, public safety and public services. This long-planned project has previously been considered in conjunction with the positive growth experienced downtown, including new restaurants, a brewery, and retail businesses opening and considering location in the area. However, COVID-19 ground much of this growth to a halt. With tax revenues decreased as a result of the pandemic, the city and its partners must take action on previously considered strategies to revitalize the downtown area. In addition to being a focal point of the city’s downtown revitalization effort, centralizing public safety and city administrative facilities will lead to more effective delivery of fire and police services, while increasing the overall efficiency of government services.

For the operations and maintenance of the Plant and Animal Agrosecurity Research (PAAR) Facility – a biosafety level 3 (BSL-3) laboratory – located on the CFAES Wooster Campus of The Ohio State University. PAAR is a unique research asset of the college, the only facility in Ohio—and one of only two in the U.S. —with the mission for both plant and animal disease-related research. The prevalence of zoonotic diseases, and particularly the sudden onset of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), has brought to light the lethal threats that infectious diseases and their associated foreign vectors pose to human health, as well as the threats to the U.S. crop and livestock production systems. CFAES houses renowned research programs in human, animal, and plant diseases. Several of its distinguished researchers have a niche expertise in coronaviruses and have years of dedicated experience studying these viral respiratory diseases that have the capability of “spilling over” from wild and/or domestic animal populations to humans, as is presumed to have occurred with COVID-19. In order to conduct quality and proactive research on current, emerging, and future infectious diseases, it is critical that PAAR have adequate funding to support its full, consistent operations and maintenance of its entire research apparatus.

Senator Brown OH Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies City of Barberton This request is for the partial funding of equipment and funding associated with the Barberton Justice Center and City Hall (“Project”), which has been desperately needed by the City of Barberton (“City”) and surrounding communities for decades. The current justice center and City Hall has been in operation since 1953. The current facility houses three distinct components: (i) the Barberton Municipal Court, (ii) the City’s police station and jail, and (iii) the City’s administrative and legislative offices ("City Hall"). While the City Hall, police station and jail serve the residents of the City (26,098 constituents), the Barberton Municipal Court also serves the residents of the Cities of Green, Norton, and New Franklin, the Village of Clinton, and Coventry and Copley Townships (107,507 constituents, including the City). Almost immediately upon the construction of the current facility in 1953, the City recognized that it was unfit for its intended use. Barberton City Council currently holds its meetings in one of the courtrooms, which is ill-equipped for such a purpose. Additionally, the police station and jail are currently undersized and lack adequate, functional space for inmates, victims, witnesses, training, records and officer workspace. The jail is routinely found to be in non-compliance by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections’ annual inspection due to overcrowding, inadequate security, and lack of proper HVAC, but is grandfathered from current regulations. Overall, the entire facility is only marginally compliant for handicapped users, and the facility’s HVAC, electrical, plumbing and building shell are obsolete. The Project would equip the Barberton Municipal Court with modern 21st century courtrooms and efficient space for the Barberton Clerk of Courts. The police station and jail would be constructed to meet current jail standards and provide all constituents who interact with the police with needed safety and security. Additionally, the City Hall space would provide the City with new, modern offices, and a dedicated space for City Council to hold its public meetings. All three components of the facility would benefit by being constructed following the recent pandemic that will greatly impact the way buildings are constructed for the health of those who work or visit the facility. It is anticipated that the Justice Center will be constructed on a site on land located in Hopocan Ave. in the City that the City purchased using $500,000 in State of Ohio capital budget funds. The State has also awarded the City an additional $500,000 in capital budget funds, and the Barberton Municipal Court has placed approximately $2,000,000 in reserve out of it court fees fund. While the total cost of the Project as a whole is approximately $16,000,000, approximately $2,000,000 of the cost is necessary to acquire necessary furnishings, equipment and technology for the Justice Center. Specifically, the police department and jail portion of the facility will need to be equipped with security and safety equipment for use by the Barberton Police Department. The police department and Jail will also be equipped with both basic technology, as well as surveillance and recording technology for the benefit of both the police and inmates. The courtrooms will also be equipped with audio-visual technology that will allow modern trials and court proceedings to take place, and to allow for the courts to take advantage of a more digital world. The entire complex will be outfitted with security and safety equipment and technology to ensure visitors that are entering the facility cannot do harm to the other visitors, staff or safety forces within the building. Of the $2,000,000 in furnishings, equipment and technology estimated to be needed for the new facility, the City anticipates that over $900,000 will be spent specifically towards the safety and security equipment needed to operate safely and securely. While the need for the new facility is great, the City is unfortunately in a difficult position in terms of identifying the necessary funding for the Project. Major employers, such as Babcock and Wilcox, have exited the City or closed their doors, thereby depleting the City’s tax base. Additionally, the pandemic has had a devastating effect on the City, which was already struggling from those business losses. However, the requested assistance of $900,000 towards the equipment and technology needed to operate the new facility safely and securely would greatly assist in moving the Project forward and making it affordable for the City.

Senator Brown OH Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Cuyahoga County The requested funding will support equipment costs including computer workstations, printers, cell phones, security cameras, and blood alcohol content machines necessary for implementation of the Cuyahoga County Central Booking Program. The purpose of the multi-agency program is to ensure that, during the arrest and arraignment process, arrestees are: treated fairly and with dignity and respect; diverted from the criminal justice system when appropriate; charged justly and properly; provided counsel at the earliest opportunity; and released on the least costly financial conditions and least restrictive non-financial conditions that will reasonably assure public safety and appearance at court. In addition to supporting timely and informed decision-making by stakeholders, Central booking will also lead to improved outcomes including the following: earlier identification of cases for diversion, improved and more timely charging, early assignment of counsel, earlier court pre-trial assessments, pre-release screening, and addition of performance metrics.

Senator Brown OH Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Cuyahoga County Requested funding will support one year of operating costs for the Cuyahoga County (Mental Health and Addiction) Diversion Center, which is called the Cuyahoga County Diversion Center. The Center provides a solution to manage the twin problems of a rising jail population and the growing number of inmates with mental health disorders and addiction issues, while additionally tackling the matter of equity among Cuyahoga residents. The Diversion Center confronts both challenges an innovative approach helping improve lives by treating what is often the underlying impetus for some criminal behavior(s), as well as directly reducing jail population. This approach ensures those who need treatment receive it in the most appropriate setting and lowers the inmate population safely by working with law enforcement and the justice system to redirect individuals better off in the care and environment of community health professionals. Officers responding to a low level, non-violent crime can take the individual, who they identify as having a mental health and/or addiction issue, directly to the Center in lieu of charging them and taking them to our Cuyahoga County Jail. Individuals receive dedicated treatment rather than entering the criminal justice system at all for the offense, and have an opportunity to be a productive member of the community through their long term recovery. The Cuyahoga County Diversion Program includes: Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) for all Cuyahoga County law enforcement officers and dispatchers. The CIT is an already established and approved national program for which the Cuyahoga ADAMHS Board currently conducts Countywide training. As part of the ADAMHS Contract for the Cuyahoga Diversion Program, the ADAMHS Board is significantly increasing their training schedule and have added three more dedicated training staff positions, with the expectation that all law enforcement officers and dispatchers within the county have the opportunity to receive this training during the Contract period. The current CIT training has incorporated best practices such as those reflected in the Bexar, TX CIT training model. A 24/7/365 call-in help line that police call for assistance when responding to an individual with SMI, SMI/SA, or SA/A needs. The help line assists the officer in providing an appropriate interventional response with the individual and provides support to the officer in making the decision on whether that individual is a good candidate for the Diversion Center. The hot line staff, made up of behavioral health professionals, is also able to make otherwise appropriate recommendations to the officer (i.e. take the individual to the local psychiatric care hospital, engage the local response team of behavior health professionals (Crisis Response Team, etc), and also is the entity who calls the Diversion Center to make the notification when an officer is bringing a new client.

Senator Brown OH Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies City of Lorain, Ohio The City of Lorain is seeking $400,000 in congressionally-directed DOJ Byrne Grant funding for personnel, gang interdiction, and community policing training. Lorain, already beset by violent drug gangs, gun violence, and killings, is now facing worsened socioeconomic challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, the Lorain Police Department is aiming to boost its community policing initiatives with additional personnel, training, and gang/drug market interdiction in its most challenged neighborhoods. Street gangs in Lorain present significant challenges to the safety of our neighborhoods and the well-being of children, youth, and families.

Federal funding to CHOICES decreased by $152,937 from FY 20 to FY 21 and will decrease again in FY 22 by $124,862.  The cuts in federal funding come as demand for service has never been so high. While CHOICES raised funds to expand the size of the shelter without public funds, operating expenses due to the increased occupancy have not been secured. This request replaces lost federal funds and allows for operating expenses, increased staffing, food, utilities, for the shelter expansion. Worthington OH $750,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Energy and Water Development US Army Corps of Engineers The City of Brunswick is seeking to reduce the severity of frequent flood events in residential neighborhoods situated along Healey Creek, a Rocky River tributary, by restoring natural floodplains and improving stormwater infrastructure with the $3.73 million Healey Creek Restoration project. Brunswick requests $2.25 million in CDS for Army Corps of Engineers Section 219 Environmental Infrastructure. The need for this project has been amplified in recent years due to historically high levels of rainfall in recent years. Many homes and neighborhoods have experienced repeated basement flooding as a result of poor, dated water infrastructure. Specifically, the issues that are being experienced by area residents include (1) sewer capacity and high tailwater issues causing basement flooding; (2) high peak flows and compromised water quality in Healey Creek due to undetained storm water from older neighborhoods, particularly near the creek's headwaters; (3) stream bank erosion in back yards, and threatening road infrastructure; (4) poorly designed or malfunctioning detention and retention basins; and (5)community pressure to develop vacant properties adjacent to Healey Creek.

Senator Brown OH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Case Western Reserve University The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act authorized the University Transportation Center (UTC) program. In 2016, the US Department of Transportation conducted a competitive process for selecting 35 University Transportation Centers, including five national centers. During the competition, the department did not award a national center for ""reducing congestion"" nor did it award a national center for ""improving the durability and extending the life of transportation infrastructure,"" two of the primary focus areas outlined by Congress in the FAST Act. To rectify this situation, Congress appropriated $15 million in the FY 2018 Omnibus Appropriation Bill for two national UTCs, one for ""reducing congestion,"" and one for ""improving the durability and extending the life of transportation infrastructure."" When the FAST Act expired last year, Congress extended the authorization by one year, and in doing so extended authorization to fund the 35 University Transportation Centers. However, the USDOT has recently indicated that because the two new national centers were a product of additional appropriations and not a result of the FAST Act, funding from the extension cannot be provided for continuing those two centers unless Congress were to specifically appropriate more money. The above request is to make sure that the two national centers continue to receive funding, just as the other university transportation centers, until the Congress reauthorizes the FAST Act and a new competition for the UTC program can begin. The gap in funding the two National UTCs would compromise their sustainability and pose a risk to their critical roles in leading the nation towards more durable transportation infrastructure and a more productive roadway system much needed for the competitiveness of the U.S. economy.

Senator Brown OH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRT "GCRTA's heavy and light rail cars are 36 and 39 years old, and have exceeded their useful life. They require an increasing amount of time and money to be properly maintained and ready for service. Due to their age, replacement parts are difficult to obtain and the technology and components within the cars are obsolete. This $5 million request will provide additional funding for this program to replace GCRTA's two aging fleets of rail cars. It will result in a common rail car which will be safer and more reliable for our 25,000 daily rail passengers and the hundreds of thousands of occasional riders who rely on our rail service to attend major community and sporting events. Replacing our rail cars will promote increased ridership and encourage private transit oriented development along our 33 mile rail system. The design and specification for the new rail cars started on March 2, 2020 and has been completed. We are currently in the procurement process to select a rail car manufacturer with the Request for Proposal issued on February 21, 2021 with Proposals received on May 19, 2021 and contract award targeted for October 26, 2021. The initial car is to be supplied 24 months after award with first group of cars to arrive 42 months after award. GCRTA has the funding to place an initial order of 18 rail cars and our procurement will have options for 42 additional cars. We will exercise those options in groups of 6-12 cars as additional funds are obtained. We are aggressively seeking additional funding from federal, state and local sources to fully fund the program." Cleveland OH $5,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Brown OH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Madeira, Ohio The Miami Avenue Revitalization & Complete Streets project will promote economic activity along Madeira's primary commercial corridor through proposed enhancements to calm traffic and improve safety for both pedestrians and motorists. Miami Avenue is currently a four-lane arterial with a posted Speed Limit of 25 MPH with on-street parking on both sides that is used sporadically. Due to the width of the pavement, volume and speed of traffic, and relatively narrow sidewalks, the street is not as ""pedestrian friendly"" as the community desires. As such the City's 2019 Comprehensive Plan recommended introducing traffic calming to achieve a more walkable environment that stimulates economic development in adjacent storefronts and encourages inclusive, mixed-use infill development.

Senator Brown OH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Summit County The current N. Main Street Bridge over the Cuyahoga River, also known as the High Level Bridge, is a three span, steel truss structure and was built in 1948. The bridge is 909 feet long, 67 feet wide, and spans 220 feet above the Cuyahoga River Valley and the Summit Metro Parks High Bridge Trail. It carries four lanes and two pedestrian sidewalks. In the latest 2020 bridge inspection, the General Appraisal is 5A out of 9 and the Sufficiency Rating is 37.3 out of 100. The structure is fracture critical. A fracture critical bridge means that if one member or part of the bridge fails, the entire bridge fails. This is the same classification of bridge as the I-35W Bridge in Minnesota that suffered a catastrophic collapse. A new bridge will be constructed with "redundancy" built in, so in the case of a beam failure the entire bridge would not be at risk. The bridge requires frequent inspections and an annual in-depth inspection. The Sufficiency Rating and General Appraisal has been consistently dropping over the last several inspections. Costly repair and maintenance jobs will be required if the bridge is not replaced within the 10-year time frame. Continued maintenance and rehabilitation of the bridge is not cost effective, as shown by the Life Cycle Cost Analysis performed by Richland Engineering. The average annual revenue for the Summit County Engineer's office is $15 million and the necessary cost to design and construct and replacement bridge is $40 million, which is 2.5 times the County Engineer's annual revenue. Even painting the current bridge to prevent further deterioration is estimated to be $5 million, one third of the County Engineer's annual budget. The current estimated planning costs for this bridge, the amount we are asking for in this request, is $8.2 million, which is more than half of the County Engineer's annual budget. Designing and replacing the High Level Bridge simply cannot be done on local funds alone. Eventually this bridge, that connects the two largest cities in Summit County, will have to be load rated, restricting commercial traffic, at best, or closed, at worst, as local funds are not enough to keep up with the needed repairs. Akron OH $8,200,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies The City of Akron The proposed project includes the complete reconstruction of North Main Street between the limits of the All America Bridge and the High Level Bridge. This corridor links Akron from our downtown to the North Hill neighborhood to the City of Cuyahoga Falls. It will tie into Summit County Engineer's Office critical High Level Bridge project (North Main Street Phase 2) which is also being submitted for appropriation funding. This project will transform the North Main Street corridor from a car-centric sea of pavement into a true complete street. The current corridor cross section includes up to six lanes for traffic and a relatively small sidewalk. The vehicular traffic Main Street carries does not justify this many lanes. The proposed cross section will include one lane of traffic each direction, a center two way left turn lane, lanes for either parking, bus pull off or other use, bike lanes, sidewalks, and buffers. This will better serve all users.

Senator Brown OH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies METRO Regional Transit Authority METRO will be constructing a 90,000 sf maintenance and operations facility on its existing property located at 416 Kenmore in Akron. This is a facility that is desperately needed to support the changing mobility needs of Summit County. The new building (shown below) will house our operations and dispatch needs as well as provide the opportunity to maintain our existing and future fleet. The facility design incorporates right-sized bus maintenance bays, parts-storage that aligns with our agency's six-sigma processes, improves parts-inventory control, and integrates technology to support smart vehicle monitoring and dispatch connectivity. Most importantly, our will ensure safe service processes for our growing fleet of electric and natural gas vehicles, supporting our transition to an all alternative fuel fleet. The need for a new facility was identified six years ago in a facility needs assessment, when it was identified that the existing maintenance building was well-past its useful life and was creating an issue for our ability to maintain our fleet in a state of good repair. Several years after this determination, the facility is now critically deficient in space and technology to support our future needs and should be immediately replaced. While this project has been on hold due to funding challenges, several efforts have kept the process moving forward. The first was the purchase and cleanup of a former junkyard site adjacent to our existing employee parking lot, which will ensure adequate space to construct a facility without impeding current operations. The second was having a review of existing architecture and engineering plans to ensure they meet our evolving needs. The third was the verification of need for and commitment of our Board of Trustees to support future operational needs with modern and sustainable facilities as part of our 2020 Strategic Plan. Understanding the urgency of the need for a new facility, our Board of Trustees has approved moving forward with final design for the facility in April 2021 and expect that this stage of design will conclude by August 2022. Once funding has been acquired, construction is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2023 with the new facility becoming operational by early 2025. At this point, we have local funding commitment for 20% of project design and construction. We are looking for federal support for the remainder of project design of $2,000,000. This project was approved in STIP through the ODOT 2021-24 process as well as in the local MPO's TIP (2021-24 –; project ID 104366). Akron OH $2,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Brown OH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies The Cocoon "Currently, we do not have functional/private/confidential space in our building to provide ongoing services to survivors of domestic and sexual violence who are not residing in our shelter facility which creates barriers for staff providing the care that is needed to meet their needs. As of May 31, 2021, we have served 421 survivors. Of those 421 survivors, 95% did not utilize our emergency shelter. Due to lack to functional space, as we are currently operating in a former restaurant, all non-residential services have to be provided in the community instead of at our building. This creates a safety risk for both the survivor and the staff as well as barriers to providing consistent, in-depth, long-term care.

Senator Brown OH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Canfield Township This project site is located on Summit Drive on the east side of Canfield Township. Summit Drive is connected to the very busy 5-lane US 224 arterial where there is significant existing commercial development. The project involves reconstructing the existing 2-lane Township-owned and maintained asphalt road which measures down to 18-FT in width with no shoulders, widening the apron off of US 224, and widening the road to the present County design standards for this class of local road (20-FT plus 2-FT extra of curb/gutter on each side making 24-FT wide total), relocating and improving the drainage along the road (necessary for the road widening), and constructing a new multi-use asphalt paved trail alongside the road to offer the pedestrians in this neighborhood a safer path to travel rather than on the road. The present narrow width of the road has presented a safety concern to the residents for some time now from a motorist perspective alone. There have been traffic accidents on this road involving larger vehicles which cannot adequately pass each other due to the narrow width of the road. One accident was with a school bus. It is difficult to safely have a typical automobile and a large utility or service truck pass one another without nearly driving off the edge of the pavement. This road will also likely see an increase in vehicular traffic in the future due to additional projected residential development towards its southern terminus of this road (presently being developed for more residential construction). Canfield Township is one of the few areas in our region where residential development continues to occur. In terms of funding the Township will plan to utilize its funding allocation from the ABC District to help pay for the storm sewer work related to this project valued at $512,000 (construction), and the Township is asking for the remaining balance from this FY 22 funding allocation request ($1,193,830).

Senator Brown OH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Ashtabula County Airport Authority "The intent of this project is to design and install new security fence near the terminal building and new wildlife exclusion fencing around the airfield at Northeast Ohio Regional Airport (HZY). HZY is surrounded by forests and wetlands that act as potential wildlife attractants. A Wildlife Hazard Site Visit (WHSV) conducted at HZY by USDA APHIS Wildlife Services (WS) personnel in April 2020 lists coyotes, white-tailed deer, raccoon and muskrat among the list of observed species at the Airport. Per the WHSV, ""WS recommends that KHZY pursue the procurement of a perimeter fence that is designed to exclude all hazardous terrestrial wildlife species from the AOA. A 10 foot high chain link fence with barbed wire outriggers and a 4 foot buried apron to exclude digging animals is the preferred alternative. This type of fence meets FAA guidelines in Certalert No. 16-03 (Appendix 1). An adequate fence placed so that its perimeter can be monitored via motor vehicle regularly would do more for excluding deer and other terrestrial animals from the airfield than other measures."" The entire report that summarizes the Wildlife Hazard Site Visit in more detail is attached as supporting documentation for this funding request. The fence will be designed and installed per FAA standards. Generally, the higher the fence barrier, the more difficult and time consuming to breach the barrier. The presence of barbed wire at the top of the fence makes the fence more difficult to climb and burying the bottom of the fencing prevents animals from crawling under the fence line. Additionally, signage will be installed along the fence line to indicate secured areas and presence of security patrols, alarms, and monitoring systems. " Jefferson $1,874,000 Website Letter

Senator Brown OH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Village of 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 being under contract to build a new canoe launch and a 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. 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.

Senator Brown OH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Akron – Canton Regional Airport Authority This project involves the removal and/or relocation of four (4) CAK "hot spots" on the airfield: Taxiway J, H, K, and C. These taxiway environments have historically contained a potential risk of collision or runway incursion, and where heightened attention by pilots and drivers has been necessary. All of the affected taxiways represent a non-standard entrance/exit from the runway environment, and some pose a restricted visual angle for aircraft operating to and from the terminal environment. These taxiways are in a high energy location and pose an inadvertent directional turn for aircraft returning to the terminal area to cross back into runway environment.

Senator Brown OH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Akron – Canton Regional Airport Authority The CAK terminal contains an existing CCTV security system that is limited in capabilities and coverage areas. This project will expand the current CCTV system to other areas of the terminal, roadways, parking lots, and facility buildings where needed to assist with a safe traveler experience. The scope will also potentially include airport exit lane technology and emergency push-button kiosks in the parking lots. The project enhances safety and security of other critical areas of the airport not currently served today. North Canton OH $2,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Brown OH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Akron – Canton Regional Airport Authority This project includes upgrading sections of Taxiway F shoulder, electrical infrastructure, and drainage to FAA standards. There is currently a "Taxiway F Mill &; Fill Overlay" Project that will be funded at 90%. The Airport will need to cover the remaining 10%. Within this scope we requested to have the FAA: 1) incorporate Taxiway F shoulder and related electrical work on an important section this taxiway to meet FAA standards. The work involved altering the slopes of Taxiway F shoulders, which impacted electrical conduits by requiring the conduits to be lowered. 2) We also requested the project scope to include a drainage and grading upgrade along Taxiway F to fix a pavement ponding issue. Ponding is a safety concern and bird attractant, which we want to avoid in the airfield environment. The scope for this 2nd item included improving the grades and drainage of a nearby grass area to allow the water to drain from the pavement properly, improving safety and meeting FAA standards. The FAA refused to allow these items in the scope, claiming both are not part of a "mill and fill" pavement project. Both efforts were advised by the FAA to be included as part of a future AIP grant.

Senator Brown OH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Shaker Heights The Lee Road corridor is unattractive and dangerous for pedestrians, with crumbling road, too many driving lanes, inadequate pedestrian areas, no bicycle infrastructure, and excessive curb cuts that cause safety issues. It is flanked by 2 historically underserved residential neighborhoods –; 1 racially diverse and 1 predominately Black –; that have built strong community but are disconnected from the corridor. The commercial district has high vacancies, underinvestment, and disjointedness. The project will reimagine the corridor by reducing drive lanes and expanding multimodal opportunities to create equitable improvements. Building upon recent progress made in adjacent neighborhoods, the City aims to attract investment and new businesses to strengthen the commercial district and create jobs. The improvements will upgrade access and connections to businesses, rapid transit/bus routes, and underserved/diverse neighborhoods. This community-driven reinvestment project will add vibrancy, calm traffic, improve pedestrian and cyclist safety, strengthen connections, and address the longstanding need to build a safer multi-modal transportation network.

Senator Brown OH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies The City of South Euclid "Belvoir Boulevard (CR284) Road Resurfacing Project The proposed project will mill and resurface the existing asphalt pavement surface of Belvoir Boulevard between Mayfield Road and Monticello Boulevard in the City of South Euclid. Belvoir Boulevard is four lane highway with a large grassed median in a residential district. It is an important north-south axis in the City providing linkage between the community and the cultural and commercial districts located on the east-west roads at the project termini. The residents of South Euclid and the adjoining communities of University Heights, Cleveland Heights, and Cleveland will be the primary beneficiaries of this project. The asphalt wearing surface is severely degraded in areas, with many heaved joints. It was reconstructed in 1996. The NOACA 2021-2014 TIP Target Plan Projects gave this roadway a PCR of 52 which is indicative the poor condition of the wearing surface. Pedestrian accessibility and safety will be enhanced with the provision of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb ramps, and crosswalks at all intersections. Traffic control pavement markings and signage will also be replaced. Belvoir Boulevard has been identified on the NOACA Regional Bicycle Plan as a major bike route.

Senator Brown OH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies The City of South Euclid Mayfield Road (US322) Signalization Project The proposed project will upgrade and replace the obsolete traffic signal equipment at seven (7) existing signalized intersections on Mayfield Road, between Warrensville Center Road and the east corporation line with the City of Lyndhurst, in the City of South Euclid. The project will provide a properly coordinated traffic signal system that will greatly improve vehicular traffic efficiency, thereby reducing congestion, reducing air pollution, and improving air quality, and will also improve emergency response time with the provision of first responder preemption. Mayfield Road (US322) is the vital east-west axis in the City providing linkage between the community, cultural, and commercial districts located on the road within the city and to University Circle to the west and I-271 to the east. The signal systems on Mayfield Road in Cleveland Heights to the west and Lyndhurst and Mayfield Heights to the east have been recently upgraded and provide effective coordination. However the signal system on Mayfield road in South Euclid was replaced in the mid-1990s and the equipment is outdated and requires frequent maintenance. It is also not well coordinated. With the installation of modern signal equipment the entire corridor will then be coordinated, thereby benefitting the residents of South Euclid and the surrounding communities of Lyndhurst, Mayfield Heights, and Cleveland Heights. Pedestrian accessibility and safety will be enhanced with the provision of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant pedestrian signals. curb ramps, and crosswalks at all intersections. Traffic control pavement markings and signage will also be replaced. South Euclid OH $1,811,000 Website Letter

Senator Brown OH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Eastgate Regional Council of Governments "The BDM Warren Steel property is a 1000 acre brownfield that previously hosted steel-making operations. Today, this property represents one of the largest single areas of land in Ohio within city limits available for industrial development. The property is located just a few miles from the new Ultium Battery Manufacturing Plant and the Lordstown Motors Manufacturing Plant in Lordstown, As such, it is a highly valued property with great potential for near-term economic development, especially as the e-mobility supply chain builds out. The property, however, lacks clear and direct truck access to Ohio State Route 45, Lordstown, and the Ohio Turnpike, thus limiting the near-term development potential. This request is for funds to build a new concrete-base roadway between the BDM Property and Ohio State Route 45, a distance of just over one mile. This would greatly reduce the truck travel time and distance from the BDM site to several Lordstown manufacturing locations and the Ohio Turnpike. Additionally, a bridge over the Mahoning River connecting to the BDM Property will also have to be constructed. The estimated cost of the new roadway and bridge is $7 million, subject to a comprehensive engineering analysis that is now being undertaken." Youngstown OH $7,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Cantwell WA Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Discovery Clean Water Alliance Federal funding will support replacement of the SCTP’s 25-year-old mechanical dewatering equipment with modern technology that is more reliable and efficient. This equipment is a critical element of the wastewater treatment process. The SCTP currently utilizes two belt filter presses that require ongoing and increasing maintenance cost, including a complete rebuild three years ago to extend their life. To reduce these maintenance and reliability concerns, the Alliance plans to replace these belt filter presses with screw presses or centrifuges. The new equipment will have an added benefit in that it will produce biosolid material that requires less truck hauling. A federal investment will free local resources to complete additional upgrades to the SCTP as part of its $55 million capital improvement plan. Clark County WA $2,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Cantwell WA Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Clark Regional Wastewater District This request seeks to accelerate eliminating septic systems in one of the District’s service area’s lower income neighborhoods and one of greatest environmental concern, while providing additional financial assistance to homeowners that are in the greatest need. Federal aid will support the installation of 3,700’ of 8” gravity pipes that connects to the District’s wastewater services in the Curtin Creek area—which has a history of failing septic systems and proximity to the Curtin Creek Watershed, a tributary of the critical Salmon Creek Watershed. Completion of the project will enable 72 properties to move away from their septic systems and connect to the community’s wastewater infrastructure. Once homes are connected to the new infrastructure, property owners are responsible for a subsidized cost to install the infrastructure which, even with financial offsets from the District’s SEP, averages approximately $31,000 and is offered as a low-interest loan that can be repaid over 5-10 years. These costs can be out of reach for many working-class families; however, a federal investment would enable the homeowner’s obligation in the Curtin Creek area to fall to approximately $6,100 that similarly can be repaid over a 5-to-10-year period. Providing these additional savings will allow more property owners to move their homes off septic systems providing benefit not only for them but also for the greater community.

Each bioretention cell will function in two ways, as a treatment facility and as a conveyance system. Each conveyance system will be designed to meet SPU’s 2004 Comprehensive Drainage Plan level of service for managing stormwater. King County WA $2,500,000 Website Letter
Senator Cantwell WA Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Bothell Replacement and improvement of outdated, insufficient City of Bothell Sewer and Water Utility infrastructure will be addressed by funding of this request. Sewer Lift Station #1 is currently undersized, functioning poorly, has limited wet well storage, and has no space at its current location to increase lift station capacity. Construction of a lift station bypass main will allow the majority of the sewer drainage basin to be served by gravity with only the remaining adjacent neighborhood (Valhalla neighborhood) to be served by the lift station. Inadequate 60-year old water and sewer mains in the surrounding Valhalla neighborhood will also be replaced to improve system functionality. The asbestos cement water mains have degraded, become soft, and have failed at least three times in the last five years. Replacement of these water mains with new ductile iron water main will reduce the risk of a water main breaks, service disruption, and better comply with Fire Fighting and Drinking Water Standard requirements. The concrete sewer mains are cracked, poorly connected, have root intrusion, and have significant groundwater Inflow & Infiltration. Replacement of these sewer mains with new PVC pipe will eliminate root intrusion and Inflow and Infiltration associated with old, poorly performing sewer mains.

Senator Cantwell WA Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Pacific County, Washington Funding is requested to construct an energy-efficient 5,000 square foot visitor center. The center would orient visitors to the Refuge, expand facilities and opportunities for environmental education and recreation, as well as promote understanding of the Refuge, conservation and the region’s natural and cultural history. The facility would create an indoor/outdoor environmental education area, exhibit and event space, restrooms and a small nature store. The Refuge has completed a 35% engineering design. The visitor center would meet LEED energy conservation and sustainability standards to reduce annual operations and maintenance costs. Site improvements have already been completed during the adjacent Refuge construction in 2020. This project would also leverage other federal investments. Pacific WA $2,500,000 Website Letter
Senator Cantwell WA Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe of the Shoalwater Bay This request for funding will provide for the implementation of the Shoalwater Bay Tribe’s community relocation project to construct roads/utility infrastructure on the 4,000 acres purchased by the Tribe. All of their housing and government buildings are just 15 feet above sea level on the coastline. Partial federal funding, and a tribal relationship with the Army Corps of Engineers, has led to construction of an embankment in the tidal zone portion of their Reservation, but is continuosly washing away. A single tsunami event would take out every home, the government, their economic development opportunities, and what defines them as Shoalwater people. The Tribe needs financial and technical support to build the infrastructure we need to move uphill. Based on erosion and other projections, this needs to happen immediately. The land purchase has been completed by the Tribe. Now that we have the land, we are ready for construction of the road/utility infrastructure. This first requested investment is for Phase 1A for pre-construction; roads; sewer; water; and utilities. Pacific WA $2,500,000 Website Letter

Senator Cantwell WA Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Sultan The City needs to upgrade the plant to meet and exceed water quality requirements as well as meet the increased demand on the system from growth. With an upgraded plant, the City will be able to improve the water quality flowing into the rivers as well as provide a better process for the bio-solids that are separated during the process of treatment.

Snohomish County WA $2,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Cantwell WA Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Edmonds The project seeks to recover extremely valuable lost foraging habitat for juvenile salmon to help support Pacific Northwest salmon recovery, and subsequently, the Southern Resident Orca population in Puget Sound as well. It helps increase salmon populations available for Tribal fishing. These are readily achievable “precursor” projects, constituting components that must be done before/as part of the ultimate Willow Creek daylighting/Edmonds Marsh restoration project. They are key to the ultimate objective of restoring a fully functioning saltwater tidal marsh by improving the quality of stormwater runoff entering the Marsh from surrounding properties, streets and SR 104. With improved quality of the stormwater entering the Marsh, together with eventual daylighting of Willow Creek, a healthy saltwater marsh/estuary will be restored, which will both contribute to improved water quality of Puget Sound, as well as re-create rearing habitat for juvenile salmon, including juvenile Chinook salmon, the preferred prey of the endangered Southern Resident Orca. The 28-acre plus Edmonds marsh has been sealed off form Puget Sound by a barrier which prevent fish use of the marsh complex and which restricts the salt water conditions necessary to support a healthy marsh complex critical to juvenile foraging salmon. The Willow Creek Daylighting and Edmonds Marsh Restoration Project seeks to restore a lost estuarian marsh in the heart of Edmonds. Currently the marsh drains out to the Puget Sound via a limited diameter pipe, which prevents fish entry into the marsh and restricts the natural tidal exchange that supports a healthy estuarine marsh system. The City seeks to restore the open channel flow in order to restore the marsh habitat areas and, for the first time in over half a century, return this 28-acre habitat area for fish use.

Senator Cardin MD Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Chesapeake Bay Foundation I request $2.184 million in Congressionally Directed Spending to support the Pequea Creek Watershed Restoration Plan in Pennsylvania in the Susquehanna River Basin. The Susquehanna River, which flows 440 miles from New York to Maryland and through Pennsylvania, drains nearly 92% of the watershed. Streams within the sub-watershed were identified as the optimal areas in which to concentrate restoration efforts. Within each of these, land use analysis, hydrological modeling, and detailed mapping identified the specific locations of deficiencies, and prescribed a combination of best management practices (BMPs) to address those conditions imperiling aquatic life. Each of these agriculture practices requires technical design and planning expertise, as well as outreach and education to assure compliance with various regulations, and to increase participation in conservation programs. Monitoring and modeling is also needed to assess impacts of BMP implementation, and direct ongoing efforts to improve soil and water quality. In addition to targeted stream efforts, watershed-wide goals are proposed, as well as monitoring to track progress and community outreach. Pequea PA $2,184,000 Website Letter
Senator Cardin MD Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies The Nature Conservancy When restaurants shut down due to COVID-19, Maryland oyster growers were faced with the possibility of destroying their product and potential closure of their businesses. Nongovernmental organizations partnered to create the Supporting Oyster Aquaculture and Restoration (SOAR) Program to support the growers by purchasing mature oysters and utilizing them in local oyster rehabilitation projects, with regulatory support from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and scientific advice from NOAA. To build an economically-resilient oyster aquaculture industry and rebuild imperiled oyster reefs in the Chesapeake Bay, I request $1 million in Congressionally Directed Spending to expand The Nature Conservancy’s SOAR Program in Maryland. The federal funding would provide $350,000 for purchase and transport of approximately 1 million additional oysters from oyster farmers that will help restore at least 10 additional acres of reefs. $150,000 is for planning to better guide and integrate the aquaculture industry’s role in oyster restoration. This activity includes monitoring and evaluation of SOAR restoration efforts; $400,000 to expand the Shellfish Grower’s Resiliency Fund in Maryland and issue at least 10 additional small grants to shellfish farmers and closely aligned organizations to fund innovative projects that diversify revenue streams and enhance participation in conservation efforts; and $100,000 for salaries for SOAR program management.

Senator Cardin MD Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Sheppard Pratt I request $1.2 million in Congressionally Directed Spending to support the Sheppard Pratt Institute for Advanced Diagnostics and Therapeutics. For individuals living with opioid addiction and substance use disorders, the COVID-19 pandemic has made it harder to access treatment and recovery services.

Senator Feinstein CA Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Town of Paradise Prior to the Camp Fire devastating the Town of Paradise on November 8, 2018, Paradise had a robust VHF radio network installed prior to January 1, 2013, in compliance with FCC requirements to narrow band our frequencies. The Camp Fire destroyed the radio network connections throughout the Town of Paradise. Since the Camp Fire, Paradise has been operating on a combination of our transmitter and a single surviving repeater, and Butte County's Butte Regional Interoperable Communications System (BRICS), a new 700 MHz trunked radio network. None of Paradise's portable (hand-held) or mobile (car) radios work on the County's network, so temporary patches are in place to interconnect legacy VHF systems to the new BRICS 700 MHz network. The Town's remaining VHF radio infrastructure, including nearly all portable and mobile radios, are "end of life" and no longer supported by the manufacturer for hardware or software repairs or updates. The Town of Paradise intends to purchase new portable and mobile radio equipment that will operate on the BRICS network, be supported by the manufacturer for hardware and software maintenance, repairs or updates, and comply with all current FCC regulations, to provide the greatest interoperability of our radio equipment and provide flexibility and longevity of our systems and equipment. These radios will provide the foundation upon which the rest of the Town's two-way radio communications infrastructure can be built. Ultimately, the Town of Paradise is working toward joining Butte County in their regional radio network approach to minimize infrastructure replacement costs and maximize interoperability of equipment.

Senator Gillibrand NY Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies City of New York - Office of Climate Resiliency The Mayor's Office of Climate Resiliency (MOCR) is seeking funds for a project to help City planners and local residents alike visualize the impacts of climate change on local communities. The NYC Mayor’s Office of Climate Resiliency (MOCR) is seeking funds to help City planners and local residents alike visualize the impacts of climate change on local communities. With high-quality data from the New York City Panel on Climate Change, MOCR will develop a platform that will allow people to use visualization tools, access data, and participate in community outreach and information sharing. In 2021, MOCR engaged 21 different City agencies and 27 non-governmental organizations on the highest priority climate research needs. This engagement process included some of the most socially vulnerable communities in each of the five boroughs. Overwhelmingly, City agency staff and community-based organizations cited the need to perform analysis of impacts and risks from climate on the daily lives of New Yorkers. A vast majority felt of existing climate risk analysis was city- or borough-wide, which does not relate to people’s concerns. For example, people want to know how hot their neighborhood will be or how often it will flood. NYCADAPT will directly address this high priority need by making local climate data and information available for future outreach, education, and planning. Funding for NYCADAPT will also help the City appropriately site and protect critical facilities and services, like backup power sources, cooling centers, and evacuation routes.

Senator Gillibrand NY Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies NYC Mayor's Office of Climate Resiliency The Mayor’s Office of Resiliency, the United States Geological Survey, the NYC Department of Environmental Protection, the NYC Department of Transportation, and the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation are seeking funds to perform integrated modeling of compound flood risks in coastal areas across the City. The City of New York maintains the largest surface transportation system in the country, with 6,000 linear miles (about 11,000 lane-miles) of roadways, 12,000 linear miles of sidewalk, and 794 bridges and tunnels that provide vital access for vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, transit, and freight to move through the city. Federal funding for this project will help make this regionally vital transportation system more resilient to floods. Currently, 25 percent of all annual flood-related complaints from New York City residents (3530 complaints) are made to report street and highway flooding. The New York City Panel on Climate Change estimates that low-lying neighborhoods around the city flood as many as 25 – 30 times per year from exceptionally high tides. While extensive work has been done to quantify coastal flooding, higher water tables and intensifying rains are increasingly likely to occur in tandem with coastal storms. By modeling the combined effect from higher seas, heavier rains, and higher water tables, the City can safeguard lives and critical transportation infrastructure. New York NY $150,000 Website Letter

Senator Gillibrand NY Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies CNY Defense Alliance Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are exploding and supporting all aspects of how we live and work today. CPS are similar to IoT in that they are typically designed as a network of interacting elements however CPS are more a complex computer system that is controlled and monitored by computer-based algorithms. CPS examples include the smart grid, autonous vehicles (e.g., drones), medical devices (e.g., insulin pumps and pacemakers), industrial control systems and robotic systems. IoT technology is synonymous with sensor-based products pertaining to a smart X, where X could be a home, a city or military base, such as security systems, thermostats and lighting. The ever evolving and expanding CPS/IoT fabric is augmenting the world we live in by making things more efficient, sustainable, and resilient while improving citizens’ quality of life, safety and security. The objective of SkyDome Trusted Smart-X Experimentation Environment is to build a capability that replicates electromagnetically, physically, and digitally, a reconfigurable area of interest such as a city block in a modern metropolitan area or airport or military base. This “living lab” will facilitate experimenting with technologies, understanding their capabilities and limitations including interoperability, reliability and cyber security vulnerabilities. It will also support connections and collaboration opportunities to the greater Griffiss Business and Technology Park (GBTP) including the AFRL Information Directorate, NY UAS Test Site, Innovare and the City of Rome’s Smart City infrastructure to enable complex but compelling experiments. This project builds on Oneida County and Rome’s ability to forge partnerships between government, business, academia, and community that has enabled the development of a growing high-tech region. The AFRL/RI is the center piece of the GBTP with a budget that is over $1.8 Billion, fueling the development of technology that touches all aspects of CPS/IoT. The park also hosts Air City, a $20 million mixed-use development project currently under construction. Air City includes apartments, commercial space, cyber research and development, and lifestyle retail. The revitalized Woodhaven Riverwalk is also part of the tech park and is a series of mixed-use projects that we envision as New York State’s first smart, autonomous-friendly village. Complementing these developments is the Griffiss International Airport, which hosts one of seven FAA designated drone test sites. The NY UAS Test Site is the only test site at a towered airport and supports a 50-mile drone corridor between the Mohawk Valley Region and Central New York. The vision for Innovare Advancement Center, AFRL and the communities Open Innovation Center, and SkyDome are now a reality offering a unique laboratory environment to support collaboration on CPS/IoT projects that will expand and improve services, promote economic growth, and enhance quality of life.

Senator Gillibrand NY Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Flow cytometry is one of the most widely used technologies to measure and detect cell charateristics for the purpose of sorting out cell population. It is used to identify a population of cells to produce high value drug molecule (such as antibodies for cancer, osteoporosis or viral infections), regenerate tissue (such as liver, skin, cartilage) and identify microorganisms (such as bacterial and other contaminant cells for manufacturing of Biopharmaceuticals). It is one of the highly sought out facility and skillset in the NYS Capital Region by public health departments (such as the Wadsworth Center for human toxicology), universities (such as Rensselaer for drug discovery, stem cell engineering for regenerative medicine), non-profits (such as Multiple Sclerosis Center of Northeastern New York for biomarker discovery) and biopharmaceuticals (such as Regeneron, Taconic, Pfizer for identification of contaminants, biomanufacturing of drugs). Thus, advanced controls and characterization of cells are a crucial component for the industry and safety of patients. Flow cytometry is a critical skill for the pharmaceutical industry and is in high demand (such as Bristol Myers Squibb for Professional Workforce Development to scale-up cancer cell therapy). Examples of projects, conducted in the NYS Capital Region, were enabled by a basic flow cytometry facility - established at Rensselaer 18 years ago with funding from the NYS Gen*NY*sis program. This facility has become obsolete, NYS Gen*NY*sis program has been discontinued, and universities, public health agencies and industries now requires high volume and high throughput flow cytometry capabilities for research, product development and work force training that no longer exist in the greater capital region. Lack of high volume and high throughput flow cytometry capabilities is causing NYS industry to look out-of-state or internationally for product development, workforce recruitment and training; hampering and delaying research projects and public health research at universities, medical institutions and governmental facilities. This proposed request is to establish a cutting-edge, high-throughput and high-volume Flow Cytometry Facility in the NYS Capital Region to assist public-private partnerships and work force development areas for biopharmaceuticals, regenerative medicine and infectious disease research. Requested funds will be used exclusively to purchase the equipment that, due to its high-volume and high-throughput capabilities required for industry research and workforce training component, is not a funding priority by federal agencies (such as NIH, NSF) under traditional research infrastructure. This request fits into multiple Appropriation Bills (LHHS as well as CJS) given its multiple areas of impact for this project. These include increasing the economic output of NYS biopharmaceutical industry and NYS biotechnology start-up community, effectively addressing public health emergencies at the state and federal level, enhancing fundamental and translational research at non-profits and higher education institutions, and providing workforce training. We have chosen LHHS for the Appropriation Bill. However, we remain open to other categories and can provide additional information as required.

Senator King ME Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Baileyville Utilities District The Baileyville Utilities District (BUD) serves around 720 customers with the largest customer the St. Croix Tissue and Woodland Pulp LLC. Unfortunately, the BUD cannot support the ongoing growth of this very important industry without additional financial support for improvements in its infrastructure and cannot qualify for typical grant opportunities since the Mill’s water use outweighs the residential customer’s water use. The BUD proposes to replace the current waterline infrastructure and larger waterline to connect the mainline from the Reservoir. This would set the District up for the future and ensure that when the mill expanded they could be supplied with sufficient water. In addition, this line needs to be replaced since it is in very poor shape with multiple failures. Baileyville ME $1,000,000 Website Letter
Senator King ME Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Bangor The City of Bangor sewer collection system and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) collects, conveys and treats approximately three-billion gallons of polluted water annually, protecting the Penobscot and Kenduskeag rivers. The SCADA system was originally installed in the early 1990’s and although the City has made improvements to maintain and keep the control system operational, much of the control system is reaching the end of its useful life. Updating the SCADA system will improve pollution-reducing processes within the sewer collection system and wastewater treatment plant by refining control during wet-weather to reduce untreated sewer overflows to the Penobscot and Kenduskeag rivers. The benefits will be realized not only by the citizens of Bangor, Hampden and Hermon, but all users of the Kenduskeag and Penobscot rivers as well as recreational, commercial and aquatic uses downstream through the estuary and to the Atlantic Ocean. Further, this project will help the City of Bangor meet compliance requirements of the 2015 EPA Consent Decree. Bangor ME $1,343,000 Website Letter

Senator King ME Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Eastport Wastewater Treatment Department The City of Eastport is requesting funds to upgrade a critical backup generator. The existing generator is too small to operate more than one pump and cannot keep up with transferring all the flow from the entire sewer system to the plant. The city is in the process of a major upgrade to its Wastewater Treatment Facility to improve its operations, as required by DEP. Because of the upgrades, sewer rates are increasing and further improvements cannot be completed on important sewer system projects. All of the City’s wastewater flow goes through the Middle Street Pump Station which conveys these flows to the City’s Wastewater Treatment facility. The Middle Street Pump station was already upgraded with three new pumps and controls; however, the budget could not support replacing the backup generator at that time. The generator, is too small to operate more than one pump and this station has to transfer all the flow from the entire sewer system to the plant. Eastport ME $120,000 Website Letter
Senator King ME Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Town of Frenchville The Town of Frenchville is looking to upgrade the existing pump station #2 and replace some 3,200 feet of existing force main. The existing 30+ year old force main has failed largely due to the reuse of the existing force main pipe combined with the installation of a larger pump station necessitated at the time to accommodate the increased flows originating from Saint Agatha. Funding this project will help keep the user raters down for a rural, aging region with limited options to offset costs. Frenchville ME $758,000 Website Letter
Senator King ME Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Town of Livermore Falls Funding would be used to assist two communities (Livermore Falls and Jay, ME) in replacing their aging joint wastewater facility. Federal funding would help to reduce the burden on two towns that have seen a changing and declining industrial base. The wastewater treatment facility is critical to continuing improvements to the water quality of the Androscoggin River and important to the Jay-Livermore region. Livermore Falls’ and Jay’s current indebtedness for waste water infrastructure projects is already stressing the finances of our ratepayers. Asking them to absorb approximately $450,000 in additional debt service payments per year for the next 20 years for the necessary WWTF upgrades will further cripple our local economy and drive people and businesses from our community. As the people and businesses leave our community, the result will be the burdensome debt being spread amongst fewer rate payers. Imposing this amount of financial burden upon our community will be devastating. Livermore Falls ME $1,700,000 Website Letter

Senator King ME Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Presque Isle To repair and upgrade the Echo Lake Septic Tank Effluent Pump System, which is out of compliance with DEP and threatens the health of humans and aquatic life as well as tourism in the Aroostook State Park recreation area. The system is necessary to collect waste water. The infrastructure was installed in the 1980s in partnership with the Department of Environmental Protection to address water pollution from seasonal and residential properties at Echo Lake. It was poorly constructed and has allowed increasing amounts of water infiltration into the main line from wetland ground water. This has caused the system to be out of compliance with the amount of discharge exceeding leach field capacity. The longer the system is in non-compliance, the higher the risk of environmental issues. Echo Lake is an 84-acre lake with approximately a 2.5 mile perimeter. Over 40 residential lots are directly on the lake and approximately 400 residents surrounding the park could be impacted by any adverse conditions. In addition, Aroostook State Park, Maine’s first state park, has approximately 1700 feet of lake frontage. Over 20,000 people visit the park annually. With access to the lake, park visitors enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, lakeside picnicking and grilling along with other park amenities. The system has failed. Homeowners along the lake using this system must, therefore, disclose this for any property sale. Said disclosure has impacted and could impact future sales prices. If the soil cannot handle the amount of water seeping in, sewage could run out along the ground or leak into the lake itself. This would result in a health risk for individuals living along the lake and using the park through possible algae blooms. It could damage aquatic life. All of this could also have a negative impact on tourism in Aroostook County. Tourism is Maine’s number industry and of utmost importance to the economy of Aroostook County. Presque Isle ME $550,000 Website Letter
Senator King ME Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Saco The City of Saco is requesting funding to support improvements to the Saco’s Water Resource Recovery Department that is located within two feet of the tidally influenced Saco River.

Saco ME $4,080,000 Website Letter
Senator King ME Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Southwest Harbor Water and Sewer District The Southwest Harbor Water and Sewer District requests funds to provide sewer, water and drainage infrastructure on Wood Street in an area that is currently underserved by utilities. Wood Street currently does not have any public utilities on it and is the site of a proposed housing development for seasonal tourism employees. Affordable local workforce housing is critical to Mount Desert Island and without public utilities, the project cannot support further development along Wood Street. This project is important to Maine because it helps support two key aspects of Maine that are important to the state's overall well-being: tourism, and the environment. If the District does not receive funding in support of this project they will not be able to afford to construct utilities, which will prevent the housing development intended to house seasonal tourism employees from coming to fruition. Coastal land is at a premium in Southwest Harbor and there would be little opportunity to construct the housing development elsewhere. Affordable housing for tourism employees is a great need in Southwest Harbor, and the Town depends on tourism for much of its economy. Also there are negative environmental impacts in the local area due to the lack of adequate infrastructure on Wood Street. Providing adequate drainage, water, and sewer will mitigate these impacts and protect the local environment. In this area, the local environment plays a large role in attracting tourism. Southwest Harbor ME $560,000 Website Letter
Senator King ME Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Town of Bridgton The Bridgton Sewer Main Extensions project will provide sewer service to new homes and businesses currently served, or projected to be served, by private septic systems. Historically, Bridgton has had numerous documented wastewater permit violations, and the proximity of failing private septic systems throughout Town has contributed to contamination of surface water bodies. In 2020, the Town began construction of a new wastewater treatment facility and upgrades to the existing wastewater collection system to correct these violations and allow for additional capacity within the system. As private septic systems have a high potential of failure due geological conditions in Town, the sewer main extensions would accommodate the influx of new development Town of Bridgton ME $1,400,000 Website Letter
Senator King ME Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Town of Vinalhaven Vinalhaven’s Downtown Project includes construction of infrastructure—roadway, sidewalks, crosswalks, parking, boat launch, stormwater drainage, sewer, and water main. The Project has four integrated components to build community resilience by providing critical protection and support for Vinalhaven’s economy through enhanced utility capabilities, increased public access and safety, and accommodation for growing concerns of flooding due to increased precipitation and rising sea levels as identified in a 2016 study commissioned by the Town from Ransom Engineers which showed much of the project area would be inundated by a 100-year event coastal flood. Vinalhaven is requesting funds to support only STAG eligible project components of the Downtown Project. These are: 1. Upgrade Stormwater Infrastructure and 2. Improve Public Utilities (sewer and water). These critical public services are used by the island's two primary economies, as well as the year-round community, and make the island a viable place for residents to flourish economically. Main Street itself provides a continuous public access route that creates a walkable environment for tourists and a reduced travel time for emergency management that avoids nearly 20 minutes driving an alternative route around Carvers Pond. Underneath Main Street, public water and sewer lines run to every building in the project area and make the area sustainable. Aged infrastructure, flooding and storm surge, lack of safe year-round access–all pose a significant threat to the island's economic lifeline. Receipt of CDS funding would allow Vinalhaven to make critical infrastructure improvements vital to its economy and will bolster the long term resilience of Maine’s largest inhabited year round island community.

Senator Klobuchar MN Homeland Security City of Minneapolis, Fire Department The City of Minneapolis Emergency Operation Training Facility (EOTF) is a multi-agency public safety facility used to train first responders, fire professionals, law enforcement officials, technical rescue and hazardous materials specialists, as well as state and federal incident management personnel. The intent of this project is to seek the development of unused, city-owned property on the existing site for the enhancement of training and response capabilities of multiple partners - those being local, regional and state public safety, emergency planners, utility providers and transportation agencies. The EOTF is home to Minnesota Task Force One, a multi jurisdictional response team that provides responses in catastrophic situations across Minnesota. Currently, Minnesota Task Force One sends trainees to Wisconsin as that is the closest site with the needed facilities. The goal of this project is to keep training costs down by having a local facility. Fridley MN $2,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Klobuchar MN Homeland Security Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) Currently airport police, fire, emergency management, and emergency communications are spread across five sites on the MSP airport campus, including areas within the two passenger terminals. Centralizing the operations in one space outside of the terminals would better insulate both the airport’s day-to-day operations as well as facilitate a seamless transition to emergency operations if needed.

Senator Klobuchar MN Homeland Security Oslo Region Joint Powers Board The project is a well-studied and publicly accepted solution to mitigate the frequency and intensity of flooding. Removing blockages in the river channel, including the two bridges that do not accommodate current flow rates, and replacing them with appropriately sized bridges allows the Red River to flow within its natural channel rather than overflow its banks. Additional protective levees and removal of 40 blockages in the river channel will lead to a significant reduction in flood occurrences and duration, as shown by recent modeling research conducted by Houston Engineering.

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Beaver Bay Replace the entire water intake pipe from intake with HDPE pipe sections are fused together through a heat process that effectively joins the pipe into one section structure to pumping well. The complete replacement alternative has the advantage of eliminating risks of failure of aged piping. Anchoring into bedrock is a good solution. Boulders will need to be moved aside to expose the bedrock along the length of the pipe alignment. Vendors identified stainless steel bolt embedded at least a foot into rock with half pipe sleeve to protect piping. Anchoring every 20 feet should provide adequate anchorage while maintaining some flexibility for the piping. The main concern for the water intake piping is protection against wave forces. The force from waves dissipates exponentially with water depth. For example, the wave force at 8 feet depth is one fourth the wave force at 4 feet depth. As such, protection of the pipe from wave forces is critical in shallow water and can be reduced at depth. For the Beaver Bay intake piping it is recommended to protect the pipe to a water depth of about 15 feet Placing concrete mats over the pipe will protect the pipe from damage by boulders and will also allow the pipe to flex when needed. The concrete mats consist of small concrete blocks about 15” by 17”by 5 to 8 inches thick connected together with high strength polyester cables that are cast into the blocks. The technical term for the mats is articulating concrete block system. Open spaces between the blocks allow the mat to flex like a blanket. Open space can vary from 10 to 20% of the mat area. The mats range in sizes with a width of up to 8 feet and length of up to 40 feet. The articulating block mats would be laid over the installed pipe to provide protection from moving boulders. Although these mats are normally used for erosion control they have been used for marine applications. After the mats are laid over the pipe, boulders would be placed on the part of the mat that is laying on the lakebed, not on the pipe. The Minnesota Department of Health requires that water treatment facilities are designed in accordance with 10 State Standards (Recommended Standards for Waterworks). These standards include several basic requirements for water intake structures. Some of these are: Adequate protection against rupture by dragging anchors, ice, etc. Intake ports at sufficient depth to maintain submergence at low water levels. Withdrawal of water from more than one level if quality varies with depth. Design shall provide for occasional cleaning of intake p Beaver Bay MN $1,018,000 Website Letter

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Crane Lake Water & Sanitary District The federal funds would be used to pay down the total debt on the project of over $1.5 million which has become unbearable for the small sewer district. Rates are sky high: $130 per month. Property owners in the district pay increased taxes above the sewer rate to support the system and help pay the debt. This is based on 91 total accounts (83 residential, 8 business) in the township. Debt payments consume 50% of the CLWSD annual revenues. With no debt relief, sewer rates will go up $50/month to $180 per month. This amount is extremely high in Minnesota and way above the metropolitan rates of $30-$50/month. It is unsustainable in a small township with a small population based upon the tourism economy exclusively at the entrance point for Voyageurs National Park, the Boundary Waters Canoe Are Wilderness, and the Quetico Provincial Park. Additionally, the sewage treatment plant is now in need of over $200,000 in repairs and deferred maintenance. With these burdensome debt payments, this investment is impossible to make by the CLWSD. The Voyageurs National Park Clean Water Joint Powers Board has worked since 2007 to clean up the waters of the National Park. Over $30 million has been invested in providing modern sanitary systems for portions of the four entry communities to the National Park. Crane Lake is one of these four entrance communities. The solution is for the USDA to forgive the remaining debt of $1.3 million by administrative action or Congress to authorize the relief. Crane Lake MN $1,300,000 Website Letter

Federal funds for this project will be used to fund salaries/Benefits for two full time, certified, or licensed teachers/educators, and part-time staff such as teacher assistants and a part-time cook. This project targets the need for child care for children who are not attending full-day school yet, specifically children ages 36 months through kindergarten enrollment in Becker County. With 36 potential spots available, Boys Girls Club will help close the gap for access to affordable, high-quality child care with hours that work with the employer's schedules. Secondly, this program will benefit parents so they have another option of child care so they feel comfortable working full time knowing that their child(ren) are in a positive, safe, and fun environment. Thirdly, this program will benefit employers by providing them an opportunity to contract (x) amount of spots for employees of their business. We have already received feedback from multiple businesses confirming they would be interested in paying to hold (x) amount of spots available for employees they know do not have access to these services already, and that interferes with their employee ability to work scheduled shifts because of it.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Duluth, MN Replacing Fire Station #11 (Woodland) has been a Facilities priority for a few years. The ceiling has collapsed and chimney has significant damage and deterioration over the past few years. This station does not provide for gender equity and needs to be upgraded for future staffing requirements. HQ fire station is in need of a remodel. The current dorm style bedroom is problematic from a privacy/gender equity issue. The insufficient HVAC system was highlighted during the COVID pandemic when we had to relocate on crew to the training room and build a temporary wall in the dorm for proper separation. Admin Offices could also be remodeled for space efficiency and future needs. The city would also update Utility control systems for all 8 fire stations as many of the heating/cooling, electrical, and other systems are outdated and have been a priority for Facilities for years."

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Town of Morse The Town of Morse is looking to upgrade the roads in the Romberg Acres area. Roads that will be upgraded include Hematite Boulevard, Hallmark Drive, Hiawatha Street and Heather Street. Hematite and Hallmark were paved over 15 years and will need to be repaved. Hiawatha and Heather are gravel roads that will be paved through this project. The total cost of this project is estimated at $500,000 with $455,000 eligible for the LRIP funds (See attached cost estimate).

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Hector, MN The City of Hector, MN needs funding for urgent safety upgrades to its airside Airport infrastructure. The Airport in its current layout has a number of serious deficiencies including obstructions in its approach to Runway 12, obstructions to a clear Runway Visibility Zone (RVZ) at the intersecting runways, and a too-narrow paved runway. The existing Runway 12/30 lighting is not FAA-approved non-frangible lighting and there is no beacon as required for night operations, nor are other safety-related navigational aids such as Precision Approach Path Indicators (PAPIs) and Runway End Identifier Lights (REILs). The length of Runway 12/30 is inadequate to meet the needs of the most demanding aircraft using the airport, the Air Tractor 502, used by the agricultural spraying company that is based at the Hector airport, and for medical evacuation services (medivac) aircraft needs. Federal funds will be used to fund the design and construction of needed revisions to non-compliant airfield pavements and lighting, the removal of obstructions to navigation, and the addition of navigational aids that make the Airport safer and more useful for the general public.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Karlstad, MN The City of Karlstad, MN is in need of funding for a proposed improvement project for the Karlstad Municipal Airport to expand aviation capabilities in order to support current recreational and business users in the area and to stimulate economic development and support future growth in the region. The existing airport includes a 2,606 turf runway constructed in 1953 that does not meet modern needs due to characteristics that restrict its use. These characteristics include the runway being too short for all but the lightest aircraft, its chronically wet condition rendering it unusable much of the year, and its obstruction by highways, powerlines and nearby towers. Highway 11 runs immediately south of the airport and there is no public fuel or public hangar space, which adds to the current limitations of the existing airport. The proposed project would relocate the airport to a more functional and suitable location to provide the necessary foundation for future growth and expansion capabilities, bringing additional funding opportunities to the airport and new economic prospects to the local economy and its stakeholders.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies The City of Lakes Community Land Trust The Commercial Land Trust Initiative (CLTI) was launched in 2018 as a pilot under the City Of Lakes Community Land Trust (CLCLT), one of the five largest residential land trusts in the nation. To date, the CLCLT has assisted over 400 low-to-moderate-income households into CLCLT homeownership over the past 15 years. There have now been 90+ resales-each resulting in leveraging the initial affordability investment over time-serving multiple generations of homebuyers with the same funds. This is a strong foundation upon which to test whether a commercial land trust can be viable. Over the last three years, the CLTI has grown its program with the intention of eventually incorporating as its own entity. As such, a majority Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) Advisory Board was established to guide the program. This Advisory Board helped craft the mission, vision, values and financial model. The mission of the CLTI is to (re)develop and preserve long-term affordable commercial spaces through community driven ownership of land. Neighborhoods where local BIPOC businesses can grow and thrive, residents claim spaces through decision-making power and ownership of land, and together are building a vibrant human-centered economy. Ultimately, the CLTI wants to ensure that individuals, families and communities who have been historically (and currently) excluded from access to land ownership have the tools, resources and opportunity to share in the economic activity of any given neighborhood.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of New Ulm "City leadership has identified a preferred alignment for the relocated crosswind runway in a true east-west configuration. A crosswind runway with a 9/27 alignment would not only provide better wind coverage than the existing crosswind runway but would also reduce the impact of required land acquisition by aligning with existing property lines and extending over land which is not planned for future development. This alignment would improve the Airport's overall wind coverage to over 98% which is excellent for a general aviation airport. The estimated cost to construct the relocated runway is $1,014,000, but the land acquisition will cost significantly less because it is solely land outside City limits and not planned for future development. The proposed Crosswind Runway 9/27 alignment is the best long-term solution for preserving the safety and accessibility of the New Ulm Municipal Airport. The Federal Funding would assist the City in moving forward with land acquisition, project design and construction of the turf crosswind runway." New Ulm MN $2,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of New Ulm The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) conducted an Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) study at the intersection of TH 14 and North Highland Avenue due to an increase in severe accidents at this location.  The ICE study resulted in a roundabout being warranted and the preferred construction alternative for this intersection.  Mn/DOT conducted two public outreach meetings and surveys to gain public input on the proposed intersection alternatives.  The roundabout option was overwhelmingly identified as the preferred alternative.  Mn/DOT and City staff completed applications for Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funding to pay a portion of this project cost.  The City was successful in securing $400,000 in HSIP funds and is obligated to fund the remaining $430,000 of its anticipated cost.  The project is currently in preliminary project research and design, scheduled with a FY 2024 construction timeline on this joint jurisdiction project.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Stearns County CSAH 12 is a major collector that connects to Trunk Highway 23 near Richmond on the south to Interstate 94 near New Munich on the north. It serves farm to market and commercial traffic as well as commuters and agricultural traffic. The proposed project includes a full reconstruction between CSAH 31 and CSAH 30 in the city of New Munich. The section of CSAH 12 proposed for reconstruction has very narrow shoulders with minimal, nearly non-existent ditches. Because of the lack of ditches, the roadway has drainage issues and a snow drifting problem. The narrow gravel shoulders require constant maintenance because of the wide farm equipment and trucks that use the road. The pavement is in poor condition, and the condition continues to worsen because of the heavy truck and agricultural traffic. The federal funding would be used to offset eligible road and bridge construction costs including upgrading to a 10-ton pavement design, widened shoulders and clear zone to meet current road design standards, storm water treatment and ADA upgrades to pedestrian facilities. Federal funding would enable the project to stay on schedule. Oak Township and City of New Munich MN $3,175,000 Website Letter
Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Olmsted County The project consists of a proposed interchange at CSAH 44 and TH 14, and an associated flyover structure at 7th Street NW. Infrastructure elements include four bridge structures, retaining walls, pavement, lighting, and active transportation facilities. The intersection of CSAH 44 and TH 14 is located on the west side of Rochester and has significant safety concerns due to a skewed geometric angle, an at-grade railroad crossing, a 65-mph speed limit on TH 14, and high traffic volumes on both the trunk highway and the county highway. By removing two at-grade intersections, 64 conflict points will be eliminated thus improving safety and increasing mobility. Efforts are moving forward for engineering services, environmental documentation, design, and right of way acquisition. Funding for construction of the interchange and flyover is needed.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Otter Tail County For the past 25 years, lakes in Otter Tail County have been rising. Some lakes, such as Nelson Lake, do not have a natural outlet and flooding becomes a problem for roads and property owners. County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 6 is a bituminous paved local farm to market route that sees about 540 vehicles per day on average. The road is used by the Postal Service, school buses, emergency vehicles, farmers, local residents, and tourists. CSAH 6 runs through Nelson Lake and was built when the water was much lower than it currently is. The road will need to be raised approximately 12.5 feet to ensure it will not flood again and to maintain a sturdy road base in the lake. Funds would be used for the design and construction of a road raise of approximately 12.5 feet through CSAH 6 through Nelson Lake. Presently, CSAH 6 is a bituminous paved local farm to market route that sees about 540 vehicles per day on average. The road will need to be raised approximately 12.5 feet to ensure it will not flood again and to maintain a sturdy road base in the lake. Otter Tail County MN $2,759,000 Website Letter
Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Owatonna This project fills a key gap in our trail system identified by the Parks and Trails System Master Plan. The current river crossing on the Muckle Trail at Bridge Street is considered substandard. After navigating a hairpin turn on the west side of the Straight River, trail users must use a narrow sidewalk (along Bridge street) on the bridge over the river before getting back onto the trail. In the last year, they had a serious incident where someone using the sidewalk, fell off of the curb into a lane of traffic. There is a significant rise in trail use over the last year, and the sidewalk cannot handle two-way traffic. This gap and issue was identified in the Parks and Trails System Master Plan. Funds will go towards the construction and installation of an angled bowstring bridge with overlook; removals as part of site preparation (trail, western parking lot, trees, bollards/amenities along connection); perimeter controls; embankment; a retaining wall adjustment; curb and gutters; concrete walk; bituminous Trail; lights; and signage, among other things.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Polk County, MN This program would allow the city to purchase an existing naturally-occurring affordable multi-family apartment building, then sell the physical building to a non-profit or mission-oriented developer to own and operate, while the city (or designated land-trust) retains ownership of the underlying land. The city and the developer would partner to make energy and sustainability improvements to the building such as energy efficient windows, doors, and appliances; high-efficiency HVAC and water heaters; improved insulation and weatherstripping; LED lighting; up to and including installation of solar and electric vehicle charging. The sale of the physical building would have certain covenants and restrictions requiring that the units be rented at an affordable rate to households not exceeding 60% of the area median income. By removing the land cost from the equation, this facilitates the affordable rents without requiring significant additional public investment and ensures the rents remain affordable in perpetuity.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Red Wing The $3.7 million in federal funds will be used for engineering and environmental review, final engineering design and capital construction costs. The preliminary project plan is to realign 1,700 feet of Levee Road from the existing round-a-bout adjacent to railroad rights-of-way. This will allow the reconfiguration of the brownfield area and the rehabilitation-restoration of an adjacent adjoining wetland area. A new dual use parking lot/semi-truck fleeting/staging area will be constructed on a portion of the brownfield. The constructed design of the roadway and parking/truck fleeting area will alleviate parking pressure, redirect and realign the grain truck traffic movements which will improve efficacies of grain truck fleeting operations during the harvest season. At other times the space is needed for overflow parking for the boat launchers and park visitors, especially during city festivals. Approximately 650 feet of the abandoned Levee Road surface adjacent to the Ol Miss Marina will be kept and repurposed for a parking area for Marina users and other visitors with a riverfront promenade being built. To fully utilize the entire area, the balance of the impermeable gravel and hard pan brownfield acreage would be used for storm water treatment, connecting trails, paths, green space, parklands, festival lawn area and potentially an outdoor amphitheater with the natural grass lawn berm of the pedestrian bridge landing serving as a natural seating area. Two other project components are the rehabilitation of the city’s two Mississippi River Upper Harbor bulkheads and the construction necessary for the implementation of a riverfront Railroad Quit Zone. The bulkheads are primarily used by the Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for barge fleeting and mooring. The USACE offloads dredge spoil from barges during Mississippi River dredging operations. The dredging is necessary to maintain the Mississippi River nine foot channel for commercial shipping. The storage pad for the dredge spoil is located less than 14 mile west on Levee Road from the bulkheads. Portions of the bulkhead steel sheet piling, steel cap and mooring fenders need repair and replacements. Red Wing MN $3,700,000 Website Letter

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Tracy, MN The City of Tracy, MN needs funding for safety related improvements to Runway 11/29 Runway Safety Area (RSA). The RSA is a margin of safety around the paved surface of the runway that is 150 feet wide and extends 300 feet beyond each runway end, required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which is expected to be smooth, level, and free of obstacles in case of a runway overshoot, undershoot, or runway excursion. A stream and its associated small ravine run to the south of Runway 29 threshold, compromising this surface due to the sharp drop in elevation. This safety issue was magnified by the July 3, 2018 flood, also known as FEMA Disaster DR-4390, in which the City of Tracy received over 10 inches of water in 3.5 hours, flooding the entire community and further washing out the streambed and ravine. Federal Funds will be used to construct a 650 long 4x6 box culvert to maintain necessary water flow, while bringing the RSA into compliance with FAA dimensional requirements. The steam is not regulated by City, Township, County, or State requirements, and it is not a state or federal protected waterway. The installation of a culvert would provide the city with the ability to preserve the stream course and to build up the ground elevation in the RSA to bring it into compliance.

Senator Markey MA Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Northeastern University Northeastern University is requesting $1 million in funding to build out its capacity to house and serve more early-stage companies within its facilities on ICBM by creating a Life Sciences Spinout Innovation Center. This investment would facilitate the creation of a shared wet lab facility within Elliott Hall on ICBM, to enable new early-stage life sciences companies to join the campus and be part of the already-established vibrant innovation ecosystem. These new companies would be co-located alongside Northeastern’s Biopharmaceutical Analysis Training Laboratory (BATL), which is committed to enabling innovative biopharmaceutical education, global regulatory convergence, industry partnerships and use-inspired research for the benefit of patients worldwide. This new space will also enable our Department of Defense partners to interact with small companies working at the cutting edge of biomedical sciences, which is a critical priority for defense agencies. The shared wet lab model has proven successful, in the case of ICBM’s existing Barracks Venture Creation Center (VCC), which houses early-stage companies that require fume hoods for their research. Overall, this proposed wet lab project would significantly bolster Massachusetts’ ability to grow its capacity within the life sciences industries. Burlington MA $1,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Markey MA Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Hampden County Sheriff’s Office The Sheriff’s office has received intelligence in the past regarding contraband cellular devices and has confiscated cellular device accessories as a result. However, the Sheriff’s office is unaware of the scope of their problem because they do not currently have the means by which to detect and/or identify contraband cellular devices. Installing a MAS solution will help ensure they understand the risk at each of their facilities and can mitigate it. This will help ensure a safe and secure environment for staff and inmates, as well as the general public. Essentially, a MAS allows calls from approved phone numbers while preventing unauthorized phones from making or receiving calls. A MAS utilizes cellular base stations and a distributive antenna system(s) to legally detect, intercept, and re-route wireless communications in a secure facility. MAS is essential because, unlike "jamming systems," they have the sophistication to detect and neutralize illegal wireless activity without interrupting 911 calls or other authorized communications inside prisons. MAS also does not cause any degradation in service to commercial wireless networks outside of the prison boundary that often occurs with jamming systems. Ludlow MA $1,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Anna Maria College Anna Maria College is in a unique position to address the burgeoning mental health crisis in Emergency Medical Services (EMS), both within and outside of the profession. The College already educates both EMTs and Paramedics. EMS is increasingly called upon to serve and treat patients in acute emotional and psychological distress. However, the current national curriculum does not adequately address the demands these patients place on providers. Additionally, research shows that on a daily basis, law enforcement, EMTs, nurses and firefighters face more than 10% of their calls involving someone with a mental illness. The complicated and emotional nature of these calls have resulted in increased levels of emotional and mental health disruptions in these professions. The goal of this project is to increase the number of instructors in MHFA across all public safety sectors: law enforcement, fire science, paramedic medicine, corrections, etc. This project would establish a permanent Institute that will ultimately serve the entire spectrum of public safety professionals and civilians throughout Massachusetts, to adequately and appropriately respond to individuals with mental illness. In addition, it will provide the resources needed to integrate Mental Health First Aid Training across our curriculum to ensure that every student graduates with MHFA certification upon entering the workforce.

These complex, vital, mission-critical systems require connectivity between the multiple devices and their remote locations back to the headquarters dispatch and control equipment. The current method of connectivity is leased copper circuits provided by Verizon. These antiquated copper circuits are prone to regular failure and are increasingly unreliable. These failures result in faulty radio communication, impeding police and fire units in the field. Verizon no longer supports these copper circuits, meaning the Town relies on a vendor service contract. Finding parts to make the repairs is continuously growing more difficult as the obsolete infrastructure deteriorates. The Town must choose another method of connectivity to support the public safety communication systems. Saugus MA $1,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Springfield Museums Corporation The Springfield Museums is requesting funds to support the upgrade and installation of immersive exhibits and technology improvements in FY22, that will strengthen the Springfield Science Museum’s role as principal STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) learning center for Western Massachusetts. This request amplifies our mission by modernizing and connecting signature museum assets within our Astronomy Hall in order to make the wonders of the night sky accessible to learners and enthusiasts near and far. We propose the following upgrades: Seymour Planetarium: In continual operation since its opening in 1939, the planetarium houses the oldest known star projector in the world, and the oldest American-made star projector in existence. The centerpiece of our astronomy program, we regularly offer fully-live, interactive shows presented by one of our knowledgeable and seasoned presenters. We plan to optimize planetarium operations by installing a new digital full dome projection system with state of the art software. Rooftop Observatory: Added to the Science Museum in 1972, our 20-inch reflecting telescope was hand-built by local volunteers from the Springfield Stars Club. The observatory’s small space limits visitor capacity and there is no elevator access to the observatory for visitors with limited mobility. Through technological upgrades, we propose to create remote access to the observatory and related educational public programs, making them available as astronomy programs in our Planetarium Theater, in our International Space Station Gallery and Astronomy Hall, and on our website. By providing an inclusive opportunity to experience astronomy that can be experienced onsite or at home, it is our hope that more diverse members of our community and beyond will join our community stargazing nights. Tactile Exhibit: In partnership with the National Federation for the Blind, the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind, Tactile Images and the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the Science Museum proposes to add multiple 3D tactile exhibits presenting a high impact opportunity to interpret Astronomy Hall for our blind and low-vision visitors, visitors with disabilities and neuro-diverse learners.

Senator Markey MA Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Worcester State University Increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the sciences is a challenge. WSU feeder schools are diverse but the students often face challenges (underprepared, time commitment, math placement scores) that inhibit a career in science. Here we propose to build a sustainable model to lower these obstacles and recruit/retain underrepresented STEM undergraduates from our diverse community. Our program will provide incoming students a transformative summer experience on regional climate change that includes that integrates lab, field, computational education and research. Students will be enrolled in a newly developed climate minor retaining student involvement in climate science while at WSU. To substantially increase DEI in the sciences, we must work to lower barriers and shift the culture. Here we propose a 6-week summer research experience for 20 students for two years. Students completing the program will (1) earn 3 science credits (tuition free), (2) develop basic and essential lab, computational, and field skills, (3) ensure adequate Math Placement scores for entry into STEM majors by integrating applied math and providing math tutors, (4) provide a pathway to work in modern labs on cutting-edge climate science as a climatology minor, and (5) help advance regional climate science. Funds will be used to develop a cross discipline ecology-environmental science lab and computational climate lab dedicated to undergraduate student learning and climate science research strengthening the research and educational integration. Existing STEM summer programs at the university has revealed food security and transportation to campus to be additional obstacles for lower income perspective students. To overcome such student barriers, this project includes a residential component where food and housing will be offset. Students stipends will allow students hiatus from employment; stipends will help offset costs for computational tools necessary to enter in a science degree. Worcester MA $1,677,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Energy and Water Development University of Massachusetts at Amherst Many Massachusetts communities are at risk of being left behind when it comes to clean energy. Gateway Cities suffer from poor air quality and sky-high asthma rates, while rural towns fear being exploited for land resources in the expansion of utility-scale solar power. Research and engagement efforts at ETI will center vulnerable communities and work with them on developing solutions to grid resilience, heating electrification, and clean power generation. Solutions developed for Massachusetts communities can be adapted and scaled for use across the Northeast and across the country, from California to Texas and the Gulf Coast, where improved infrastructure can save lives by reducing catastrophic outages. This project includes direct benefits to western Massachusetts cities and towns. ETI’s partnership with the Massachusetts Municipal Wholesale Electric Corporation (MMWEC) will benefit municipal utilities in towns like Shrewsbury as they future-proof their electric and broadband infrastructure. In collaboration with Neighbor to Neighbor Massachusetts, ETI researchers will engage directly with families and residents in Holyoke, MA to support community-based planning for their local energy transition. Holyoke residents will benefit from working with ETI on co-design of energy solutions, including heating electrification and energy storage installations to reduce energy burden and increase reliability.

Senator Markey MA Homeland Security Town of Provincetown This project will help alleviate a hazardous and property damaging condition. During rain events, surface storm water collects at Court Street and floods the local businesses. The flooding also blocks vehicular and pedestrian passage to both residences and businesses. This flooding has been a long standing condition, which has become worse with increased development in the area. This flooding condition damages property and business operations. It also creates a hazard, as vehicles often become stuck in the flood water, and pedestrians try to climb over uneven terrain to pass around the flood water. The condition cannot be alleviated by normal storm water drainage treatments, such as catch basins, due to the topography and high water table. A more sophisticated design and construction project is necessary, and will include a pump station and water retention area. Town of Provincetown MA $3,500,000 Website Letter

Mercy Medical Center also plans to engage, train, and support residents to advocate for food policy changes that increase access to healthy foods. Springfield, Hampden County’s largest city, is a vibrant, diverse community with people of color accounting for the majority (67%) of the city’s population. Springfield residents experience numerous socioeconomic challenges that can impact health, especially in the Mason Square, North End, South End and Downtown/Metro Central neighborhoods. The median family income in Springfield is less than half the statewide median income, and 30% of the city’s population lives below the Federal Poverty Line. The pandemic is intensifying economic challenges. The March 2020 unemployment rate was 3.4%, and by June the rate had jumped 17.4%. While employment is rebounding slowly, the unemployment rate for October was 7.2% (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). As a result, more families are struggling to access stable housing, transportation, and necessities. The inequities in the region have consequences, with Springfield residents experiencing one of the highest premature mortality rates in Massachusetts (441.0 vs. the statewide rate of 282.2 per 100,000). Thousands of Springfield residents are facing a food crisis because they cannot afford and/or do not have access to affordable and nutritious food. In Springfield, 37% of the population is obese. In the Mason Square community of Springfield, 9% of households experienced moderate to severe hunger and 19% were food insecure. Aside from food insecurity being such a prominent issue, the Community Health Needs Assessment conducted in 2019 identified other significant health needs within the Mercy Medical Center community.

Senator Markey MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Wellesley Centers for Women, Wellesley College Today, far too many youths are struggling with mental health concerns, especially depression. This can lead to suicidal thoughts and actions. During the COVID pandemic, many adolescents report an increase in stress and isolation, contributing to more youth feeling depressed and becoming clinically depressed. In particular, African American and Latinx adolescents as well as LGBT youth are at elevated risk for depression and are much less likely to seek mental health support, and youth with disabilities, including youth with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), experience disproportionately high rates of depression. Building on a current PCORI-backed project that is comparing a technology-based intervention to a group-based cognitive behavioral depression prevention program for youth at risk for depression, the CATCH-IT project would help those most in need of mental health intervention at that critical stage before they are clinically depressed. The project would adapt CATCH-IT by using online technology tailored to the demographic and identity groups that are most vulnerable to negative mental health outcomes, applying a self-guided resource-based system based on the evidence of effective theoretical modeling that strengthens individual coping. This kind of technology-based intervention offers several distinct advantages over more traditional face-to-face approaches, including easy access, privacy, personalization, and decreased cost. In fact, technology-based interventions are non-consumable, i.e., once developed, they can be used repeatedly, and globally, without losing their preventative power, and may be accessed by multiple people simultaneously, without cost to people who may otherwise not have the resources for prevention or treatment of depressive symptoms. The CATCH-IT technology uses these design elements and targets adolescent character stories, with peer videos that are relatable and tailored, and focuses on adolescents and young adults who are at risk for depressive illness, with the goal of providing access to an inexpensive therapeutic intervention that can help them increase healthy activities, build a healthy cognitive style, improve interpersonal relationships, prevent clinical depression and suicide, and engage more positively in their community. Finally, a NIMH-funded clinical, multi-site trial of this technology showed that this program, when used by adolescents who presented with elevated symptoms of depression, was associated with decreased risk for depressive disorders across a 6-month follow-up interval.

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head Aquinnah This funding would be used by the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head Aquinnah to build two affordable housing units. Tribal Members are being forced to leave the island of Martha’s Vineyard due to the lack of available rental housing, the astronomically high cost of land, and cost of construction or the cost of any available existing homes to purchase or rent. This housing crisis is severely impacting the ability of tribe members to live or work here. Over the years, the cost of housing and construction has steadily escalated, and the disparity of income levels is stark. All too often income tables are skewed by the fact that the average income calculation is based on an island wide population and not specific to Tribal Members. Due to the fact that most year-round residents must hold more than one job in order to afford housing, they are often considered over income. However, many of the multi-seasonal residents or ultra-wealthy year-round residents have incomes that inflate the average costs to purchase or rent properties. So, despite working multiple jobs just to make ends meet, Tribal Members and others are over-income for subsidized housing. Additionally, since the COVID-19 Pandemic, more wealthy people have moved to the island and are purchasing houses, building houses or offering to pay two to three times the already inflated rents, disproportionately displacing Tribal Members from their rented homes. Without affordable housing, the Tribe is unable to employ management staff or professionals to work for the Tribal government to oversee or administer our critical and necessary programs and service to our Tribal Members. By providing additional housing, the Tribe can offer affordable housing to Tribal Members and attract quality personnel to help administer its programs and services.

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Cape Cod Commission (Barnstable County) This funding would be used by the Cape Cod Commission for the implementation of a Regional Capital Plan, which will benefit Cape Cod communities as they make generational investments in infrastructure to address degraded coastal water quality, improve transportation systems and encourage alternative means of transportation, transition to renewable energy, and prepare for climate change impacts. Cape Cod has leveraged regional approaches to reduce costs to towns through the 2015 Cape Cod Area Wide Water Quality Management Plan, which provides a framework for watershed-based planning, intermunicipal coordination, implementation of sewers in areas that make sense, and the regulatory flexibility needed to support use of innovative technologies. Identifying efficiencies through the development of a Regional Capital Plan has the potential to further reduce costs for municipalities and expedite implementation of necessary infrastructure improvements to address the region’s key challenges.

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Salem, Massachusetts This funding would support the expansion of the Salem Skipper, an on-demand public transit service in Salem, MA, to the neighboring communities Beverly, Lynn, Danvers, and Peabody, creating an accessible, flexible, and cost-effective transit system on the North Shore. The Skipper currently serves over 700 riders a week within the City of Salem. By expanding the service to new communities, they would expect to serve over 2,000 rides a week, facilitating cross community trips that are not currently served by public transportation. While transit options in Boston are ubiquitous, residents on the North Shore currently have few public transit or active transport options when it comes to commuting within their own community or across North Shore communities. Transit carries more work trips into Boston’s core than reverse commute trips or commute trips within the North Shore area. As a result, the existing transit network is more suited to commuting in and out of Boston than in meeting the more localized and east/west work trips. In order to expand access to jobs, healthcare, groceries, and other social services, communities in the North Shore need to invest in improved transit options.

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Emerald Necklace Conservancy (In partnership with This funding would be used by the Emerald Necklace Conservancy to revitalize Charlesgate Park, a highly neglected 13-acre greenspace divided by a highway and rife with pollutants. The proposal will enliven the area, which is currently a “dead-zone” in the middle of Boston. Proposed improvements include the creation of a universally accessible playground, the creation of inclusive children’s play area, the creation of one of Boston’s largest dog parks, investment in green infrastructure and ecological improvements to the Muddy River, and the restoration of a broken link in Boston’s parks system for the first time in 60 years. The proposed design has the opportunity to also connect to the upcoming MassDOT project to rebuild and expand a people-friendly and regional pathway network, restoring connections between the Emerald Necklace, Charles River Esplanade and Commonwealth Mall for the first time in more than five decades. When complete, this restored system will allow direct walking and cycling connections between locations as distant as Boston’s North Station, Charlestown, Dorchester, Cambridge and Watertown.

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies The Trustees of Reservations This funding would support the Trustees of the Reservation to construct an innovative community-led project on the East Boston waterfront, Piers Park III. The creation of Piers Park III advances a bold vision for iconic, public open space on Boston’s Harbor, managing a world-class park that supports diverse community needs, brings value to the city’s climate resiliency goals, and serves as welcoming public outdoor spaces helping people stay physically and mentally healthy and active. Piers Park III would be among the first climate resilient parks of this size in Boston, advancing the industrial re-use of an abandoned pier and turning it into a critical public amenity. This exciting green development represents an important opportunity to build a public park along an evolving East Boston waterfront. The design for Piers Park III will take full advantage of its unique East Boston location, providing the community and park visitors with a stunning experience of the New England coastline and new green infrastructure that will contribute to the protection of this vulnerable waterfront. Piers Park III will be strategically designed to help to buffer East Boston from flooding events due to storms, tidal flooding, and sea level rise; the park space will also help mitigate heat island effects.

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Newton and Town of Needham This funding would be used by the City of Newton and the Town of Needham for the reconstruction of the Christina Street Bridge, an abandoned and dangerous rail bridge over the Charles River which connects a portion of Christina Street in Newton and Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) land and trails in Needham. The bridge has been used by recreational walkers, cyclists, fishers, and religious communities for years. The Barry Price Center, the landowner of the Newton terminus, is very supportive of providing access to a bridge crossing, but the existing bridge is a significant safety concern. Closure of the bridge by the Price Center has shined a spotlight on the substantial community support for reestablishing this connection. This regional connectivity project is a high priority for Newton and Needham and has garnered initial support from DCR. This project will help revitalize the Needham St/Highland Ave area; provide a safe and accessible off-road connection for residents, commuters, and employees; provide access to businesses; provide safe access to DCR trails; allow congregations to resume religious activities on the bridge; reduce vehicle miles traveled and support progress toward carbon neutrality.

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Pittsfield This funding would support the City of Pittsfield to carry forward complete streets projects in 38 locations throughout the city, as well as sidewalk replacement and intersection ramp upgrades to meet current accessibility standards from a survey completed along 37 miles of the 145 mile network within the city. The MassDOT Complete Streets program prioritization plan, along with an existing limited sidewalk survey combined with an ongoing city-wide survey expected to be completed by end of June 2021 forms the base for the approach the city is taking to maintain or replace sidewalk infrastructure. The total estimated cost to provide much needed immediate repairs is $8.5M and includes sidewalk repairs and replacements, new sidewalk connections, signal improvements, bicycle facilities, road diets, pedestrian buffer zones, intersection treatments for bicycles and corner radii reduction among other things. The estimated cost for the Complete Streets Program portion is $5.1M with an expected allocation from Community Development Block Grant of $180,000 and other non-federal funding sources of $840,000. The estimated sidewalk specific work is $3.4M with an expected allocation from Community Development Block Grant of $120,000 and other non-federal funding sources of $560,000.

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Town of Danvers The Town of Danvers, MA, is fortunate to sit at the crossroads of two significant rail-to-trail corridors with substantial regional importance. The major north-south trail running through Town is called the East Coast Greenway, which stretches from Maine to Florida. In downtown Danvers, the Greenway intersects with the Northern Rail Trail, a rail line that once connected Boston to Quebec. Severalsegments of the Northern Rail Trail are currently online, with more projects coming every year detailed in the MAPC Map submitted with this response. The Town of Danvers Open Space & Recreation Plan 2017 states one of the Town’s core values quite eloquently, “The protection of undeveloped space and the establishment of recreational areas are vital to the health of a community and the quality of life of its residents. The Town of Danvers is fortunate in that it has recognized this importance over the years.” Through the 2020 pandemic, the Danvers Rail Trail was and still is a valued resource for those who seek outside recreation and for this and several other important reasons, we seek funding to extend the Danvers Rail Trail. Specifically, the Town is seeking assistance to construct the Northern Rail Trail in Danvers for which preliminary design work has been completed for the segment starting in downtown Danvers continuing on the north and south trial, under Interstate 95 and US Route 1 then to Middleton. The Commonwealth controls a section of the Northern Trail and the Town has conducted preliminary consultation with the State. The stakeholders at MassDOT thought it was positive, and a conceptual plan has been drawn up. To move the project ahead, the initial design work must go through a more formal design process requiring additional funding. Creating more connections to downtown is critical to align with the Town’s goal of revitalizing the downtown area to support socio-economic growth along with preserving the natural resources located within the town as well encouraging healthy lifestyles for those who reside, visit and work in the Town of Danvers. The Town is taking concrete action to support these goals. A February 2020 special town meeting rezoned more than 80 acres of downtown to encourage mixed-use development along this Rail Trail Extension corridor. Rezoning this area has already generated dozens of inquiries and several applications to our Planning Board. Secondly, the Town will be constructing a shortsection (Phase 1) of the Northern Rail Trail this calendar year, connecting more than 500 homes, two elementary schools, and the local YMCA(all within a quarter mile of the trail). Funding assistance to help us design and construct Phase 2 and Phase 3 of this facility to help strengthen the economic and social benefits this project will contribute to our ongoing downtown revitalization efforts. The trail expansion is identified in a community survey conducted by the Danvers Rail Trail Advisory Committee (RTAC) and is recognized as a top priority. In the past few years, Town Meeting has appropriated $160,000 toward this project, which inspired several private donations totaling over $30,000. Unfortunately, to keep this project moving in sequence with other segments coming online to our north, the Danvers’ portion requires more funding than the Town can provide due to critical capital investment projects to our existing utility infrastructure and the construction of the Ivan G. Smith Elementary School scheduled for completion Fall 2021. Research conducted by the Trails and Greenways Clearinghouse published in the Benefits of Trails and Greenways states, “Trails and greenways positively impact individuals and improve communities by providing not only recreation and transportation opportunities, but also by influencing economic and community development.” This research mirrors the Town’s goals to preserve recreational green space, support health and wellness as well as revitalize the downtown of Danvers. The Rail Trail Extension supports making connections with nature, family, neighbors, local businesses, surrounding communities, and heritage. “To make a greenway is to make a community”, Charles Little, Author of Greenways for America Danvers MA $7,925,000 Website Letter

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies NewVue Communities This funding would be used by NewVue Communities for its Fitchburg Arts Community Project, as they redevelop three vacant and blighted historic Fitchburg municipal buildings into 68 units of mixed income artist-preference housing. The Fitchburg Arts Community is a vital project in the City’s efforts to improve the North of Main Neighborhood, one of North Central Massachusetts’ most diverse and poorest neighborhoods. When completed, the project will be only the second one in Massachusetts to combine Low Income Housing Tax Credits with an artist-preference housing for tenants. The Fitchburg Arts Community will meet the historic design and construction standards developed by the National Park Service, qualifying the project to be listed on the National Register for Historic Places. The building will also be certified as an Enterprise Green Communities building to help reduce energy needs and address our current climate challenges. These blighted buildings will be transformed into a cutting-edge campus of economic dynamism, resident housing and vitality. Fitchburg MA $500,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Framingham This funding would be used by the City of Framingham to create a community center, as the City currently lacks such a facility that could house everything from historical presentations to public meetings to art exhibitions to theater performances and concerts. The proposed location is Athenaeum Hall, in the village of Saxonville, and is one of the oldest public buildings in the City of Framingham. Athenaeum Hall is steeped in historical significance, was originally constructed in the 1840s and was renovated and enlarged in 1877. Athenaeum Hall has served the Commonwealth for a multitude of uses during its time of service, including serving as a school, jail, meeting place, health clinic, and in later years, housed American Legion Post 256. The Hall would be a significant historical preservation, rehabilitation, and re-dedication of a Community Hall for public use for all of the residents of Framingham and the Commonwealth writ large, possibly hosting regional events and performances. The City of Framingham would like to reinvigorate the Hall as a community venue for a wide range of events, including performances for small groups, presentations, organizations meetings and public gatherings, art shows, music, drama, film, and lectures to larger audiences on the second floor. The City’s goals of creating a community center for Framingham are to provide a fully accessible center while maintaining the historical character of the Hall and maximizing energy efficiency, coupled with considering alternative energy sources.

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Town of Ipswich This funding would be used by the Town of Ipswich for the Argilla Road Reconstruction Project, which would include raising Argilla Road and installing new, larger culverts, which will prevent road flooding for decades to come. This road experiences periodic flooding from high tides and storm surges and by 2030, Argilla Road is projected to be chronically inundated with water nearly every day during high tide - making passage impossible for more than 350,000 residents and visitors to Crane Beach every year and negatively impacting the town and region’s economy. The project will also allow tidal flows to move naturally through the Great Marsh, helping to make the marsh healthier and more resilient to climate impacts, and will strengthen a naturally resilient ecosystem, protecting people and critical wildlife habitat while also supporting fisheries and the overall ecosystem. This critical infrastructure project will serve as a new model for other coastal communities throughout Massachusetts and nationally, as cities and towns prepare for increased coastal flooding due to sea level rise, storm surge, tidal flooding and other climate impacts.

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Lawrence CommunityWorks, Inc. This funding would be used by Lawrence Community Works for the DyeWorks Building Redevelopment project, which directly responds to challenges in Lawrence, MA regarding equity, wealth building, and social inclusion. The proposal will ensure that future occupants of the space are dedicated to Lawrence’s diverse community, and provide key, desired services to its majority Latinx and Spanish-speaking residents. The Latinx-owned grocery store will provide 50-60 permanent jobs to folks who may otherwise have difficulty finding a job due to language barriers, and access to healthy produce and prepared foods in a food desert. It will attract various people and visitors to Lawrence and the neighborhood, where they can mingle and interact with Lawrence residents and build cross-cultural understanding. The community health center and pharmacy will provide critical preventative and palliative health services to Lawrence residents in a manner accessible to the city’s diverse ethnic and linguistic communities. The site will serve as an anchor that helps stimulate further positive activity and economic spillover in the area and connect current residents, as well as other adjacent Mill District tenants, to expanded green space and recreational opportunities in the area.

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Malden This funding would be used by the City of Malden for the Spot Pond Brook Greenway project, which is a shared use path project that will link the Northern Strand Trail and the Malden River Greenway to the Malden Center and Oak Grove MBTA stations. As part of a larger shared-use path network, the city’s goal is to connect pedestrians and bicyclists from the Oak Grove neighborhood in northern Malden to the Malden River and Northern Strand Community Trail. Like Malden’s construction of the Northern Strand Trail, this project serves as a catalyst project which will result in a shared use path connecting communities North of Malden (Wakefield and Melrose) to communities South of Malden (Everett, Boston, Somerville.) The project will also connect multiple MBTA stations (Oak Grove, Malden Center, and Wellington.) This request involves funding for the second phase of the project which follows a comprehensive feasibility study as well as a robust community engagement process, including 3 public meetings. This funding would enable the city to complete the design and finalize the details with a goal toward the completion of construction documents. This would include community meetings as part of the process. The aim is to design over 5,000 feet of landscaped shared-use path through the urban core of Malden which is designated an Environmental Justice community by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Malden MA $340,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Melrose This funding would be used by the City of Malden for the Ell Pond Park project. Dedicated in 1921 to serve Melrose’s high-density downtown area, Ell Pond Park is a treasured community and regional resource that consists of active and passive recreational facilities surrounding Ell Pond. The 19.1-acre park has long served as the focal point for the City’s recreational needs and has undergone various upgrades throughout the last century. Facilities within Ell Pond Park today include the Melrose Skate Park, Lewis-Monk Little League Field, Richard D. Lyons Tennis Courts, West Knoll Field, Memorial Knoll, Melrose Dog Park, Cabbage Patch Field, Crystal Street Tennis Courts, and the parking area around The Knoll. For the past year, the City of Melrose has been working with consultant Weston & Sampson to conduct a feasibility for the Ell Pond Park property. The purpose of the feasibility study is to identify necessary improvements to existing park facilities and features, approximate the cost of improvements, determine potential sources of funding, and prioritize the order of upgrades based on feedback from Melrose residents and other potential users of the park. While Ell Pond Park is a prized resource for the City of Melrose, it is also an important regional resource with many people coming from outside the community to play games on the athletic fields, bring their dogs to the dog park, to access the nearby swimming pool owned by the Department of Conservation and Recreation, and more. Melrose MA $1,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Town of Merrimac This funding would be used to complete pavement repairs to the deteriorating roadway infrastructure in the Town of Merrimac, and repair sidewalks that are over 50 years old and do not meet ADA/MAAB compliance. The project will consist of pavement repairs between the two schools of approximately 1.5 miles of roadway repairs and replacing approximately 6 miles of sidewalks between the Sweetsir School and the Donaghue School making these locations safer and more accessible to all individuals based on the information provided in the Town’s Pavement Management Plan. Merrimac MA $850,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of New Bedford This funding would be used by the City of New Bedford for the construction of the Quest Center Parking Structure, which will eliminate the lack of district parking that is significantly impeding the growth of the City’s premier co-working space, Groundwork New Bedford. Founded in 2014, Groundwork is a partnership of the E for All New Bedford Business Incubator, the MassDevelopment Finance Agency, the New Bedford Economic Development Council, and the City of New Bedford. The long-standing limitation on parking has greatly restricted the potential of the entire Quest Center including Groundwork, the diminished prospects for the redevelopment of the nearby Armory, and impeded the future redevelopment of the now available Glaser Glass properties (private ownership). The proposed solution to the parking challenge is widely recognized as the lynchpin to the future success of Groundwork and the catalyzing of the next level of economic activity in this area of the City. New Bedford MA $11,500,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Bristol Community College Bristol Community College seeks funding for facility improvements at the National Offshore Wind Institute (NOWI), in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Specifically, funding is needed for renovation of facilities to improve areas for training simulator laboratories; training tank; hydraulic, electrical and mechanical laboratories; classrooms; industrial kitchen; office and cubicle spaces; registration and technology spaces; and fire simulator area. With these capital improvements, Bristol can ensure that the workforce in Massachusetts and the SouthCoast region has the skills required for careers in the offshore wind industry. With investment in the NOWI, Massachusetts will be at the forefront of the offshore wind industry. New Bedford MA $5,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of New Bedford This funding would support the City of New Bedford’s proposed West Rodney French Improvement Project, which would be undertaken to coincide with a major housing redevelopment project in the City at the adjacent, towering Kilburn Mill. The proposed $40 million project would transform four historic red brick mill structures into nearly 200 new housing units (10 units affordable, 40 units of workforce, and 139 market rate). Many of the units will enjoy breathtaking views of Clark’s Cove and the downtown. The housing complex will include the original office building and new parking and green space that will create a campus-like environment. This full historic rehabilitation project will also benefit from close access to the hurricane barrier walkway, and will be seen as a beacon when traveling south on JFK Memorial Boulevard into the Clark’s Point peninsula of New Bedford. The redevelopment of the Mill has taken important steps towards completion in recent years, and remains a top local housing priority. New Bedford MA $2,967,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of New Bedford This funding would be used by the City of New Bedford for the Blue Lane Working Waterfront Connector project, which is a key part of the City’s share-use path network that stretches from the CoveWalk and HarborWalk along the South End peninsula to the planned RiverWalk on the banks of the Acushnet River in the North End. The Connector would fill a critical 1.5 mile north-south gap in the network. The proposed project represents a key capital investment in the Port of New Bedford, the backbone of the local and regional economy. In total, the Port of New Bedford generates $11 billion in economic activity annually, or close to 2% of Massachusetts Gross State Product, concentrated in a 3-mile stretch of waterfront. The Project is also located within the Whales Tooth Transit Oriented Development (TOD) area, making it important to state efforts to connect New Bedford to the commuter rail network in Eastern Massachusetts. The Project would be the primary bicycle and pedestrian access route to the future Southcoast Rail MBTA commuter rail station (Whales Tooth station) from downtown, the State Pier Ferry terminal. Fairhaven residents looking to access the MBTA station by foot or bike would also benefit from the improvements. New Bedford MA $2,800,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of North Adams This funding would be used by the City of North Adams for a Downtown Shared-use Infrastructure Improvements Project. The City’s downtown, once a vibrant commercial district comprising numerous intersecting roadways creating blocks of multistory, mixed-use buildings, was remade by mid-century Urban Renewal. Buildings containing small businesses and residences were demolished, roadways were eliminated, and single-story, strip mall-style buildings and large surface parking lots were built in their stead. The changes made to the built environment reduces the walkability and livability of the city’s downtown. As a result, numerous historic buildings have, for decades, remained partially and, in some instances, entirely, vacant while downtown business turnover remains high. In order to combat the high number of vacancies and frequent business turnover, the Vision 2030 plan recommends increasing downtown walkability and livability by enhancing multimodal connections among downtown amenities, such as MASS MoCA, Main Street, and Eagle Street, to improve circulation, increase capital investment, and attract new residents and visitors to the downtown. The Downtown Shared-use Infrastructure Improvement project will do just that by transforming the car-centric downtown into a more pedestrian- and bicycle-oriented district using bike paths and creative streetscape designs. North Adams MA $5,369,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Northampton his funding would be used by the City of Northampton to complete the Rocky Hill Greenway shared use path and connect it to the existing regional trail network. The City has already built 1.5 miles of the Rocky Hill Road Greenway, but those sections are isolated and do not connect (Route 66 to Florence Road and Burts Pit Road to Sandy Hill Road). This project would fund the construction of 1.1 miles that is shovel ready and the last remaining one mile gap that needs design, acquisition, and construction funding. This section would link two completed sections of the trail (Route 66 to Florence Road and Burts Pit Road to Sandy Hill Road). Northampton MA $4,600,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Massachusetts Military Support Foundation, Inc. This funding would be used by the Massachusetts Military Support Foundation (MMSFI) to purchase a property in Norton, MA to support their expanded geographic area of services to Veterans and their families in Massachusetts. The purchase of the property will permit immediate use by the MMSFI for its food and other consumables distribution work while building a multi-service enterprise, Patriot Industries, to benefit Veterans and the communities in which they live. Massachusetts is home to 343,000 veterans of which 50% are over the age of 65, many of whom have immediate and extended families, some have former families and veterans who have given their lives in service may have surviving families. MMSFI serves them all and makes sure that every Veteran family is offered support making the actual reach exponentially larger than the 343,000 Veterans alone. The property was recently a textile manufacturing site which is located close to the Norton Commerce Center and the Myles Standish Industrial Park. MMSFI is proposing to establish and grow the Patriot Farm programs for the benefit of local Veterans and the surrounding communities. The Patriot Farm is an innovative response to identified needs and will be dedicated to the training, vocational growth, employment and housing of military veterans and their families. Patriot Farm will engage homeless and at-risk Veterans through transitional and permanent housing options, employment, and personal development opportunities. It will be a center for storage, processing and distribution for non-profits serving Veterans and other at-risk populations. Norton MA $630,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Pittsfield The William Stanley Business Park, has three of its parcels occupied, a fourth will be under construction this summer, and six sites remain available for new business and industry. Site 9, the largest and most prominent section of the park, has remained undeveloped due to its deplorable condition for over twenty years. Improving the condition of the parcel will make it a more attractive option for private sector development, which meets the goals of PEDA and the City by addressing the blighted condition and increasing the prospect of attracting businesses, creating jobs, generating income, and enhancing the City’s tax base. Pittsfield MA $6,225,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Revere The project would create a new commuter rail platform and multimodal transportation connector in the City of Revere. The commuter rail station would add a Revere stop on the Newburyport/Rockport line where none now exists. A pedestrian connection would be made to the MBTA Blue Line intermodal transit facility approximately 1000 feet to the east. The enhanced multimodal connecter would also serve bus riders, bicyclists, and could serve as a designated TNC pick-up/drop-off area. Funding will provide the resources for design and permitting pre-construction. Federal funds will then be sought for construction with sate match provided under a Transportation Bond. Revere MA $5,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Somerville This funding would be used by the City of Somerville for the proposed Interstate 93 Public Housing Environmental Health Equity Project, which is intended to protect the health of residents of public housing adjacent to Interstate Highway 93 in the city. Extensive research has documented harmful levels of traffic-generated air pollution and harmful levels of noise affecting residents of the Somerville Housing Authority’s Mystic Apartments neighborhood. Excessive rates of cardiovascular disease and pulmonary disease including COVID-19 have been documented in this low-income community, and have been empirically linked to air pollution produced by the 200,000-vehicle per day traffic pattern on the adjacent Interstate 93/MA State Route 38 corridor. The City of Somerville and its partners in community-based organizations have articulated a vision to address long-standing health disparities by replacing apartment windows at the public housing buildings to improve indoor air quality and attenuate dangerous highway noise. The City proposes to replace all windows at the 455-unit apartment complex with safe, efficient triple-glazed windows and frames. In addition to the urgent public health and environmental justice benefits of this proposed building retrofit, additional benefits will include energy use reductions for heating, cooling and maintenance activities. Somerville MA $1,873,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Revitalize Community Development Corporation This funding would be used by Revitalize CDC to support their GreenNFit Neighborhood Revitalization Program in the Western Massachusetts communities of Springfield, Holyoke, and Chicopee, which have aging housing stock - much of which was built prior to 1940. Almost 90% of the homes were built before 1978 with an increased risk of environmental hazards such as lead paint and asbestos. Older homes have issues of moisture mold, pest problems, lead paint, and other housing issues that lead to morbidity related to asthma and other health conditions. All three cities are racially/ethnically diverse and all three have median household incomes well below the Commonwealth level of $81,215 (Springfield has an AMI of $39,432; Holyoke has an AMI of $40,769; and Chicopee has an AMI of $53,225). #GreenNFit Neighborhood Rebuild will focus on low-income households in CDBG targeted neighborhoods of these cities. Since 2012, Revitalize Community Development Corporation has held #GreenNFit Neighborhood Rebuild events in the Old Hill Neighborhood and north end of Springfield. Holyoke #GreenNFit events began in2016 and Chicopee events began in 2019. A #GreenNFit Neighborhood Rebuild event braids together the contributions of over 100 supporters with 1,000 skilled and unskilled volunteers, construction-related businesses, neighborhood residents, previous #GreenNFit recipients, and other local community-based organizations to revitalize an entire city block. Springfield, Holyoke, and Chicopee MA $250,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Town of Wakefield This funding would support the Town of Wakefield’s Broadway At-Grade Rail Crossing Improvement Project. Broadway Street is bisected by a railroad operated by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) which carries commuter train and freight service. The Town is proposing to replace the existing railroad crossing gates with a four-quadrant gate system to improve railroad crossing safety. Additionally, the Town is eager to utilize the time of gate system replacement to advance improvements to the roadway and pedestrian sidewalk facilities and enhance multimodal transit of the crossing. The project as constituted will provide much needed funding to permanently re-open this vital arterial roadway within the Town by adding increase safety mitigation measures while meeting the town’s quiet zone requirements. Wakefield MA $1,200,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Town of Westport This funding would be used by the Town of Westport for their Route 177 at Tickle Road Roundabout Project. Route 177 transits Mass and Rhode Island and is a heavily used collector road in Westport, MA. The intersection of Route 177 at Tickle Road is a heavily used highway that has significant traffic safety problems, high speeds, and high traffic. This project would address a serious traffic safety hazard caused by large numbers of vehicles transiting Westport at high rates of speed and would reduce traffic accidents by slowing down vehicles as they navigate the traffic roundabout. This project would reduce traffic accidents by making it safer for vehicles attempting to leave or enter Route 177 from Tickle Road and Robert St in the town. Westport MA $2,300,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Town of Westport This funding would be used by the Town of Westport for the Drift Road @ Kirby Brook Culvert proposal.

The project would include correcting and existing safety hazard by addressing a substandard guardrail, addressing a substantive environmental pollution problem by reducing untreated stormwater over an alewife migration waterway, and addressing a major structural deficiency by replacing severely deteriorated steel culverts. Westport MA $750,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Worcester Regional Strategic Opportunities Foundat Worcester Union Station is an intermodal transportation hub that is vital to public transit access in both the Gateway City of Worcester as well as the surrounding Central Massachusetts community.

The Worcester Regional Food Hub is an integral part of capital improvements. The lower level space of the station is slated to become the Food Hub's new permanent location, including a shared commercial kitchen. The costs in the proposal will fully cover these capital expenses. Worcester MA $3,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Moran KS Financial Services and General Government University of Kansas / KU Innovation Park As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the University of Kansas, KU Innovation Park has seen a significant increase in the existing need for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) laboratory space, primarily from within the KU Innovation Park’s cluster of drug-development companies. Several companies are working directly on solutions to the COVID pandemic, including developing testing, therapeutics, and vaccines. As part of these research and development efforts, these companies require GMP space to produce small-volume active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) for human trials. Currently, the KU Innovation Park does not have GMP capable lab facilities and equipment. Without dedicated GMP capabilities, these companies must outsource their small-scale manufacturing and production to external Contract Research Organizations (CRO), resulting in both increased costs and longer development timelines. Additionally, there are few labs in Kansas capable of manufacturing small-volume small molecule API. This shortage has been exacerbated by the effects of the pandemic, further increasing the need for companies to engage with CROs outside the region. These facilities are extremely capital-intensive, highly specialized, and are used only intermittently within each trial, making it prohibitively expensive for small and early-stage companies to develop their own dedicated GMP laboratories. For these reasons, a shared GMP laboratory within the University of Kansas, KU Innovation Park would be leveraged by several small companies, as well as by the University of Kansas, to maximize the value and utility of the space. Developing shared GMP facilities at the KU Innovation Park will not only assist these existing companies as they work to address the COVID-19 pandemic, but also addresses an existing need in Lawrence and the NE Kansas region, enhancing the KU Innovation Park’s ability to create, recruit, and retain high-growth companies and create high-paying jobs.

The new system is expected to be located across the street, away from the river and train tracks. This state and local project is a good use of taxpayer funds because it will address a critical wastewater need while also protecting human and environmental health. Planning assistance for this project is on Vermont’s forecasted Draft FY21 Clean Water State Revolving Fund Intended Use Plan (IUP). While the entire project is not on the IUP yet, it is an important project that will address a number of challenges for a relatively small amount of federal investment.

Senator Sanders VT Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Town of Bethel The Town of Bethel’s plan to upgrade its drinking water infrastructure is on Vermont’s Draft FY21 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Intended Use Plan (IUP), and will replace a galvanized water line with a lead component. While undertaking this major infrastructure project, which will involve removing part of a road and repaving, the town will also improve stormwater problems by adding a new stormwater drain and eight new storm drain basins. Lastly, the town will improve fire suppression capabilities by installing two new fire hydrants. This project will ensure access to safe drinking water, improve water quality by reducing phosphorus via stormwater runoff, improve fire safety, and encourage economic development in the Town of Bethel. This project is a good use of taxpayer funds because it will help a small, rural town ensure its residents have safe drinking water, while simultaneously improving fire safety and hazardous drainage issues.

Senator Sanders VT Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Milton Mobile Home Community, Inc. The Milton Mobile Home Cooperative (MMHC) is a nonprofit, limited equity, 100-unit manufactured housing community. The community was built in the late 1960s and was purchased by the residents in 2012. This low-income community is currently at 100 percent occupancy and seldom has vacancies. MMHC is a critical source of affordable homeownership in Chittenden County, which has one of the highest costs of living in the state. With the requested funding, MMHC would execute a long-planned water and sewer project, which is fully designed and permitted, with multiple additional funding commitments in place. Without this federal funding, the financial viability and community health of this critical homeownership opportunity in Milton, Vermont is at risk. MMHC member-owners understand their role in this project and have voted to borrow at their maximum capacity to realize this project. This project is a good use of taxpayer funds because it will improve wastewater treatment and delivery of safe drinking water, while stabilizing lot rents for low-income, elderly, and disabled residents. Chittenden County VT $994,000 Website Letter
Senator Sanders VT Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Town of Montgomery This project, which is on Vermont’s current (FY20) and draft (FY21) Clean Water State Revolving Fund Intended Use Plans (IUPs), will construct basic public wastewater infrastructure in Montgomery’s Village Centers to replace existing failing on-lot septic systems and resolve a significant environmental and public health risks. The federally-designated Wild and Scenic Trout River runs through Montgomery, and 40% of on-site septic systems in the village are in direct conflict with the Town's water system's source water protection area. Further, 19 existing systems within the service area have been identified as troubled or failing. Currently, 92 percent of systems in the service area are on small lots without suitable replacement options that would meet state requirements, restricting growth and suppressing property values. Banks will not finance homes or commercial enterprises on these lots due to the inability of borrowers to afford replacement systems, disproportionately affecting lower-income families. Engaged community leadership has already successfully leveraged federal, state, and local resources, but this additionally congressionally-directed spending is needed to make this project viable. This project is a good use of taxpayer funds because it will have significant economic, environmental, and public health benefits for the area residents by improving failing water infrastructure while creating or retaining over 100 jobs. Montgomery VT $2,870,000 Website Letter
Senator Sanders VT Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Pittsford Village Farm The nonprofit Pittsford Village Farm (PVF) features two historic structures, an 18th century farmhouse and 19th century barn. The buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2018, after extensive community engagement, a nonprofit organization was formed and charged with creating a community gathering space including a child care center. With the requested funding, PVF will conduct preconstruction activities including: architectural, structural, and electrical plans; civil engineering design for site modifications, roadwork, parking and drainage; and other various required studies and consultants including Environmental Review, Historic Preservation Review, and Archeology Review. The majority of this funding will be used for the initial phase of restoration in the western part of the building that will house the child care center. This is a good use of taxpayer funds because it restores a farm in the center of a rural village that is on the National Historic Register, and because it provides a child care center that is needed for the community to flourish. Pittsford VT $400,000 Website Letter
Senator Sanders VT Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Townshend Historical Society The West Townshend Stone Arch Bridge was built in 1910 by Townshend farmer-turned-stonemason James Otis Follett and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is at the heart of the West Townshend Historic District. At a span of 37 feet, it is Follett's longest bridge in Townshend. While its stone arch remains structurally sound and it remains open to traffic, the bridge is in urgent need of repair. Erosion over its 111 year lifespan caused by weather events, snow plowing, water runoff, and, most recently, increased use by heavy trucks and equipment, threatens its stability and will ultimately lead to structural failure and closure. Repair and restoration will include removal of the present parapets and road bed materials, and the dismantling and rebuilding the spandrel walls using the same dry stone masonry techniques as used by the original builder. This project is a good use of taxpayer funds because it will preserve a historic structure that is an important part of the history and heritage of Vermont, while preserving this important transportation route.

Senator Sanders VT Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Vermont Housing and Conservation Board With the requested funding, the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board (VHCB) will implement the first step of the transformative 2020 Master Plan of the Tri-Park Cooperative Housing, located in Brattleboro, VT. Specifically, this funding would allow for the relocation of homes located in the flood plain and help stabilize the operations of this innovative housing cooperative. With a total of 333 mobile home lots that house over 800 low- and moderate-income residents, Tri-Park is Vermont’s largest and longest operating resident-owned manufactured housing cooperative. Tri-Park makes up fully ten percent of the housing in Brattleboro and is one of the largest unsubsidized providers of affordable housing for low-income people in the state. Tri-Park's residents, infrastructure, and finances were severely damaged by Tropical Storm Irene in 2011 and remain at risk today. In fact, a decade later, many needed repairs and improvements have yet to be made due to lack of resources. Therefore, these vulnerable residents, many of whom are elderly and disabled, live with the daily reminder of the harm flooding can do, while remaining in direct threat of future flooding. This funding would enable new sites to be created to allow homes to be relocated out of the flood plain. Tri-Park proposes to move an existing structure and construct 16 mobile homes sites and necessary associated infrastructure. An additional 18 scattered infill sites will be developed in future phases as the full Master Plan is implemented. Further, funding will increase the resilience and sustainability of this critical low-income community for years to come.

Senator Sanders VT Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Champlain Housing Trust This project is a partnership between the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ (VFW) Howard Plant Post 782, located in Burlington, VT and the Champlain Housing Trust (CHT), which is Vermont’s largest and oldest affordable housing nonprofit. With the requested funds, the VFW and CHT would partner to transform the existing post into a veterans service center, which would include permanently affordable rental housing, some of which would be special purpose apartments targeted for veterans. CHT has significant experience partnering with community-based organizations to redevelop their sites to create new, vibrant community facilities. The Howard Plant VFW Post, located in Vermont’s most populous city and in close proximity to Vermont National Guard headquarters, is well-situated to serve a proportionately large number of the Vermont veterans community. Together, CHT and the VFW will use this funding to build a new, four-story building at the VFW’s current site to serve as the location for both the service center as well as new, permanently affordable apartments, with priority given to individual veterans and veteran families, including those experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless. The service center will expand programs to assist combat veterans with post-deployment reintegration, camaraderie, and assistance with obtaining VA health care and benefits. Further, the center will house a computer lab for professional and personal development training, a multipurpose room to be used for veteran-focused events and therapeutic program spaces.

Senator Sanders VT Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Cooperative Development Institute With the requested funding, the Cooperative Development Institute (CDI) will support the purchase and conversion to a limited equity cooperative of Breezy Acres and Hillcrest Manufactured Housing Communities in Colchester, Vermont by their residents. Together, the two communities are home to a total of 235 low- and moderate-income households. Grant funding is essential to preserving this affordable housing resource in one of Vermont’s highest priced housing markets and to keeping lot rents perpetually affordable for low-income, elderly and disabled mobile home owners. This funding would account for the remaining nine percent of the total project costs, which will enable residents to avoid taking out additional loans to facilitate this ownership conversion. Without this funding, debt service would force mobile home lot rents to rise to $530-$550 per lot per month, the highest lot rents in the state and decidedly unaffordable for this low-income community.

Senator Sanders VT Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Vermont Agency of Transportation The Lamoille Valley Rail Trail (LVRT) is a four-season transportation and recreational trail that was initially established in 2013 by a congressionally-directed appropriation secured by Senator Sanders. Since then, the trail has served as a cornerstone for transportation, recreation, tourism, and economic development in a very rural and economically disadvantaged region of Vermont. While the trail is not yet complete, the segments that are open have quickly become community assets, supporting local recreation, transportation, and economic development. The requested investment would allow for essential user experience enhancements and community investments for the trail, and would be well-timed with the Vermont Agency of Transportation’s plans for the completion of trail construction by the end of calendar year 2022. Upon completion, the trail will span 93 miles across northern Vermont. This funding would be distributed as matching grants to communities along the trail to develop projects to improve its function as a means of transportation for the public, including but not limited to trail infrastructure, such as trailheads, picnic areas, kiosks, and connections to downtowns; signage; art and history installations; marketing efforts; and ambassador programs. Additionally, this investment could fund a study and 10-year overarching master plan for the trail, which will include a recommendation as to whether the trail should ultimately become a state park. The LVRT has long been a priority in state planning, and it is also supported in Regional Planning Commissions’ planning documents.

Senator Sanders VT Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Vermont Housing and Conservation Board The Vermont Housing and Conservation Board (VHCB), an instrumentality of the State of Vermont, administers the state’s share of federal HOME and Housing Trust Fund dollars. Its highly successful Shared Equity Homeownership program creates permanently affordable homeownership opportunities that are resold at affordable prices. Homeownership grant funds provided by VHCB subsidize the cost of purchasing a home, helping the initial purchaser as well as future generations of homebuyers. In exchange for the purchase subsidy, the purchaser agrees to share increases in equity with the next buyer at resale, ensuring perpetual affordability. Working in partnership with Vermont’s nonprofit housing network, VHCB has funded shared equity grants for over 1,300 homes and has assisted 1,862 households through the program. With the requested funding, VHCB would expand affordable, shared equity homeownership opportunities to low- and moderate-income Vermonters statewide. Specifically, this funding would allow VHCB to offer increased down payment assistance, access to funding for solar and energy efficiency upgrades, rehabilitation funding, and technical assistance to support the marketing of homeownership opportunities to historically and currently underserved communities.

Senator Sanders VT Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies United Church of Underhill This proposal is a partnership between the United Church of Underhill and Green Mountain Habitat for Humanity to purchase a nine-acre parcel of land behind the church, subdivide the property into lots, and build approximately ten permanently affordable, shared equity homes. The project will bring new, affordable homeownership opportunities to a town where most homes are not affordable and the town plan calls for the creation of affordable housing. The homes will be maintained as affordable into perpetuity through subsidy covenants. The proposed homes will be located adjacent to a designated village center where concentrated housing is environmentally appropriate and consistent with state land use planning goals. The CDS investment will encourage economic and racial diversity in the costly and racially and ethnically homogenous Underhill-Jericho area. In addition to new affordable housing, the project will also conserve approximately two acres of open space for recreation, gardens, and other community purposes.

Senator Schatz HI Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies YWCA of Hawaii Island The nationally accredited YWCA Developmental Preschool has served East Hawaii since the 1960s, providing an educational structure geared towards the development of the whole child. This funding will help our program and our children through the difficulties of COVID recovery by supporting technology, supplies, teacher training, curricula and accreditation support. Recent events on Hawaii Island (volcano eruption in 2019, COVID in 2020/2021) has resulted in the YWCA Developmental Preschool seeing additional stressors on families and the preschool had to pivot to help families deal with the stressors as well as comply with COVID related restrictions. The resulting pivots had a positive impact on children and their families as well as with staff. The preschool, to maintain some of the momentum of the positive results is designing the next school years to continue or modify some of the actions. However, these changes, as well as compliance with COVID regulations, was fiscally devastating and the preschool had to put aside needs and funnel their resources to support the families and children more. The requested funding would allow the preschool to continue to keep the positive changes in place, proceed with some of the planned expenditures that have been put off, and provide additional support to participating families.

This facility will be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition, the new facility will have required temperature controls, reliable data connectivity, a bio-waste storage area and other technologies to ensure that BBH is able to respond to any new pandemic or emergency, in addition to securing an uninterrupted blood supply. BBH is the sole blood provider for all of Hawaii’s hospitals, and this new facility will serve patients on every island in Hawaii. Honolulu HI $2,111,000 Website Letter

Senator Schatz HI Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Guide Dogs of Hawaii The CANE Program is an orientation and mobility training program, incorporating basic adaptive technology to provide blind and visually impaired (BVI) individuals with the means to become more independent through tech aids, social activities, staff, and program supplies and operations. The goal is to provide BVI individuals with the means to become more independent and assertive about their own place in the world. The CANE Program will be conducted in two phases. The first phase will focus on the City and County of Honolulu since, as is the case statewide, 70-75% of BVI individuals in Hawaii reside on the island of Oahu. This will allow Guide Dogs Hawaii (GDH) the opportunity to beta-test and fine tune the program before expanding it to the neighbor islands. Phase 2 will then address the needs of additional clients registered on Oahu and expand services to neighbor islands. Honolulu HI $554,000 Website Letter

Senator Schatz HI Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Parents and Children Together The Work with a Future program would engage unemployed youth aged 17-21—particularly those exhibiting high risk and disruptive lifestyles—in productive training and jobs. This pilot program will be developed for youth in Kalihi (with the hub at Kuhio Park public housing) where there are majority populations of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders with low incomes, high rates of unemployment, and higher rates of court involvement. Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander youth in Kalihi are often not adequately served by Hawaii’s public schools or other currently available systems—resulting in dropping out of school, high incidences of substance abuse, chronic unemployment, high crime rates and disruption for families. In addition, tangible skills and solid employment opportunities with living wages are possible for these youth if there are programs in the state build the training programs and assemble supports that substitute for those resources unavailable to them. Furthermore, while workforce development for high risk populations is not without cost, the benefits are quickly recognized and have long-term positive effects on community resources.

Senator Schatz HI Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies YMCA of Honolulu The YMCA of Honolulu is requesting funds to restart its Kauhale Adolescent Substance Abuse Aftercare Program (Kauahale) after a break in programming due to COVID-19. This program offers after-care for 125 adolescents who have recently completed a substance-abuse treatment program. Kauhale provides support, structure and a re-entry point for youth who otherwise may not be able to participate in positive youth development programs based in their own communities. While in school, youth in treatment have the structure, multiple support systems (teachers, counselors, and school administrators), and resources to remain clean and sober. It is in the after school hours and when school is on break where youth are more prone to relapse. This is due to the lack of structure, adult role models, and resources the youth faces that leads to an increased risk of alcohol and drug relapse. To address this, the Kalihi YMCA created and implemented the Kauhale Program beginning in 2016. This 12-session program was designed using curricula from a variety of sources including Living in Balance by Jeffery Hoffman, Building our Beloved Community created by Puanani Burgess, Stages of Change (also called the Transtheoretical Model) developed by Prochaska and DiClemente and sessions on Healthy Living, Life Skills and Youth Development.

Senator Schatz HI Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies YWCA of Oahu YWCA Oahu’s Fernhurst Program offers both a structured re-entry work furlough program and transitional housing for the women of Hawaii. Both these programs offer structure, case management, life skill training, financial literacy, and a host of other program offerings all to allow the women residents the best opportunity to create and sustain their new beginnings. Fernhurst allows the women a safe place to reside while working and saving money with the goal of becoming financially self-sufficient, equipping them with the needed life skills and support network to sustain them through their life journey. Fernhurst is unique because of the provision of wrap around services it offers to its residents – to not only meet the women’s basic needs for food and shelter, but to also provide the mental and emotional support through counseling and case management, and the employment, financial literacy, and life-skills training that the women need to become more productive, contributing, law-abiding members of society. Funding will help provide justice involved and economically disadvantaged women a safe place to live as they develop the social, life and financial skills they will need for a stable and productive life. Participants will have access to a six-month re-entry program and an optional six months of transitional housing program. Honolulu HI $200,000 Website Letter
Senator Schatz HI Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Best Buddies International, Inc. The Best Buddies in Hawaii Inclusion Project for Students with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities would create opportunities for greater access to community-based inclusion, subsequently providing the type of environment that will help middle and high school students with IDD develop the social and emotional skills needed for their successful transition into post-secondary education and the workforce. Students with intellectual and developmental disabilities spend most of their school day in separate classrooms, preventing them from developing the social and emotional skills they will need for success in the community and the workplace after school. Best Buddies overcomes this separation by creating one-to-one friendships between students with disabilities and their typical peers, a proven model that is not duplicated by any other organization. The project would support 37 Best Buddies chapters at middle and high schools in Hawaii, providing opportunities for friendship and leadership development to a minimum of 978 students with IDD and their typical peers and engaging them in 272 inclusive activities throughout the year. The 978 project participants will have a positive impact on the lives of 9,780 people in Hawaii. Honolulu, and Hawaii and Maui Counties HI $401,000 Website Letter
Senator Schatz HI Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies University of Hawaii System The University of Hawaii (UH) Rural Health Research Center (RHRC) would focus on rural health workforce policy and health equity in the University’s Office of Strategic Health Initiatives to conduct high-quality and policy-relevant research and develop policy recommendations to improve rural health care in Hawaii. This project is part of the existing UHealthy Hawaii initiative and in partnership with key local rural health stakeholders. The RHRC’s primary areas of focus for FY22 and beyond are developing national, state, and local policy recommendations through evidence-based data and research to address Hawaii’s health workforce shortage issues in rural areas and advance health equity, including by seeking to increase physician reimbursement. The proposed new Rural Health Research Center at UH would provide a critical new hub for advancing policy and evidence-based research related to rural health and—specifically in Hawaii—rural health workforce policy and health equity. The Center is consistent with the UHealthy Hawaii initiative, which aims to leverage the UH System to improve health and health care in Hawaii and the Pacific through four primary areas of focus: ensuring a robust statewide health workforce; discovering and innovating to improve and extend lives; promoting healthier families and communities; and advancing health in all policies. UHealthy Hawaii has 35 community partners across the state of Hawaii, including from the state government, health systems, primary care providers, insurers, health associations and advocacy groups, business community, and more.

Senator Schatz HI Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Partners in Development Foundation The project—Kiapu: A Navigation and Work Collaboration (KNAV) to support Justice-Involved Youth and Young Adults—would provide educational and workforce development for justice-involved youth ages 14-24, especially at-risk Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. This proposal represents a collaboration of community-based and state and city entities to: offer re-entry services; serve at-risk youth and at-risk young adults; and serve families of incarcerated and formerly-incarcerated opportunity young adults (OYA). Wraparound case management and navigation services will ensure youth stay engaged with the program, have basic needs met, receive mentoring and culturally relevant programming, and have access to immediate support to remediate skill gaps. Youth will have opportunities to access education and training to obtain living wage jobs in in-demand fields such as: nursing, food services, hospitality, agriculture, custodial, and construction. KNAV will target three high poverty, high crime regions in the state. Windward Oahu is home to the state’s youth correctional facility, the state’s only Women’s Community Correctional Center, a residential shelter and access center for homeless OYA and drop in services for young street youth, a safe house for commercially and sexually exploited minors, and a vocational training program for opportunity youth who are disconnected from school and work. The Leeward coast of Oahu is home to some of the country’s poorest census tracts and the lowest educational attainment in the state, including Waianae where the poverty rate is 24.4% compared to 9.3% statewide. Partners include Ke Kama Pono Safehouse, Leeward Community College, American Job Center, and others. On Molokai, poverty and unemployment rates are typically the highest in the state, unemployment was 6.6% compared to 2.7% statewide pre-COVID.

Senator Schumer NY Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Town of Eden Through the course of the Town's Comprehensive Plan update, the potential to develop a community center for the residents of Eden was identified as an opportunity to build social interaction and provide a valuable community resource. The conceptual idea for a community center is a non-traditional/ flexible communal space that takes an alternative approach to space design this would allow for an accommodation of a variety of needs and users/age-groups in a cost-effective manner. The intended design of the community center is influenced by the barns of the farm culture that dot the landscape of Eden. The space would feature a basic approach of a one room, multipurpose space for gatherings and functions that can transform based on the programming needs. Depending on design, this space could be changed from an open court recreational court to a gathering space for special events. An extended overhang with multi-functional windows would help allow for growth and cater to different needs during the warmer season months. The surrounding park space would be improved to include better sports fields and a splash pad for child water play. Eden, Erie County NY $2,900,000 Website Letter

This much needed facility would provide quality, safe and affordable childcare for the Central Catskill region. We will to locate the facility at 393 County Hwy 38 located in Arkville, which is currently owned by Delaware Association for Retarded Children (Del ARC), a 501c3 not for profit organization.

Senator Schumer NY Energy and Water Development SUNY Geneseo "The SUNY Geneseo campus has approximately 50 buildings, totaling 2.4 million square feet of space. The buildings contain both a mix of emergency loads and non-essential loads connected to the power generation system. The campus is considered a residential campus that needs reliable power during the loss of utility in order to aide in the well-being of the student population. Academic buildings need emergency power for critical life-safety applications. SUNY Geneseo is also an emergency shelter for Livingston County and as such needs reliable emergency power. A campus wide power generation study (proj # 061050) was completed by CS Engineers in October 30,2020 and in review of the overall distribution system and the need for emergency power in order to serve the SUNY Geneseo campus community and Livingston County as an emergency receiver, the campus should consider an emergency generation system to provide full back-up power to the campus in the event of electrical utility failure. After thorough review of the existing electrical distribution system and discussions with campus representatives, the most cost effective and practical solution in order to meet the future vision and goals of the campus resulted in implementing a diesel generation system.

Senator Schumer NY Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies New York City College of Technology Major cities and their constituent communities are at the forefront of both vulnerability and the need for adaptation to climate change impacts. As the urban population is anticipated to increase from 55% to 80% by 2050, these impacts are expected to be exacerbated and compounded especially for cities that are near coastlines. As climate change shifts both the means and the extremes of the urban-coastal micro-climate, there is abounding evidence (Metro East Coast Study, NPCC1, NPCC2, and NPCC3) that global cities such as New York are already being adversely impacted by climate change, with more serious consequences in the decades to come. For instance, fatalities from heat waves in urban regions exceeds any other natural disasters in the United States. The need for better understanding of the urban-coastal micro-climate at the neighborhood scale and its response to climate change impacts/stimuli for local communities is becoming more and more critical for urban-dwellers, stakeholders, and policy makers. For New York City, climate variability and change present both complex challenges and unique opportunities that necessitate immediate action. It is, therefore, imperative that equitable, resilient, flexible adaptation pathways and strategies be developed and implemented to reduce the climate change risks and vulnerabilities to communities within the five boroughs of New York City. The New York City College of Technology will use the requested funds to implement and to execute critical climate change projects throughout New York City.

Senator Smith MN Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) is the state's criminal investigative agency providing law enforcement services, investigative assistance in complex proactive and reactive criminal investigations, forensic laboratory analysis, criminal justice records, and training to all 87 counties within Minnesota as well our other partners at the local, state, and federal levels. The BCA currently operates from two primary locations in the state. BCA headquarters is located in Saint Paul and houses the majority of the agency staff and operations. A regional facility is located in Bemidji, MN and supports operations for greater MN. The Bemidji Regional Facility was built in 2001 with the goal to provide equitable services and response times to those served in the northern portion of the state. Over the past 20 years, this facility has provided exceptional services in support of northern MN criminal justice efforts. However, the existing facility is no longer adequate to address the needs of greater MN as the service demands continue to increase in volume and complexity. An expansion of the existing facility is needed to continue providing the cutting edge law enforcement resources required to serve the northern portion of the state including Bemidji and the communities in northeastern and northwestern Minnesota. Recent trend analysis projects service demands to increase with required staffing expected to double in the next 20 years. The BCA Bemidji Regional Office opened its doors in October of 2001 to serve BCA partners in the northern half of our state. This facility was comprised of the Forensic Services Laboratory and the Investigations Division. At that time, the forensic laboratory was staffed with less than 10 full time employees. Since then, the staff of the laboratory has grown to 20 FTEs who provide forensic analysis in firearms, latent prints, biology, chemistry, and crime scene response with demand for services, more than tripling. The addition of Rapid DNA technology and Digital and Multimedia Evidence (DME) analysis capabilities, as well as increased expedited evidence screening services have further challenged the limited space available for the vast array of services offered to law enforcement. One example of the lack of space includes the recent retrofitting of a windowless storage closet in order to house the recently added DME section of the laboratory. This space serves as the workspace for two DME analysts and their equipment. This arrangement clearly provides less than ideal work conditions for such challenging work and precludes additional capacity building for this critical service. Unfortunately it was necessary as other areas in the building had already been repurposed to address space needs. The BCA Investigations Division currently has ten Special Agents located in the Bemidji Regional Office. These Special Agents work closely with all law enforcement agencies within the northern portion of the state. With the recent formation of the Force Investigations Unit, the BCA has shifted resources to northern Minnesota to be more responsive and efficient when requested to investigate and officer involved shooting or use of force cases. This unit should remain physically separated from local law enforcement so that there are no conflicts of interest when called upon to investigate these crimes. This facility would also allow specialized investigative functions such as polygraph exams, facial reconstruction, digital evidence examination, audio/video enhancement, 3D Scanner data review and preparation, to be completed within this new facility. This proposal is for an expansion of an existing BCA Bemidji Regional Facility which is expected to increase the building from approximately 25,000 to 50,000 square feet. It would house personnel from the various divisions within the BCA including Investigations, the Forensic Science Services, and Minnesota Justice Information Services (MNJIS). The expansion would impact all aspects of the services provided from this location including standard office space, interview/polygraph room, laboratory space, evidence storage, meeting/training room(s), and garage area(s) to maintain response vehicles as well as a space for processing evidence. The building would require heightened security measures included in the building design, with security cameras, perimeter fencing, break-in alarms and access control to be compatible with existing BCA security protocols.

Senator Smith MN Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Hennepin County The creation of a FDTC is a tool to address the opioid crisis in Hennepin County. Opioid-related deaths in Hennepin County have steadily increased from 2011 to 2020, without signs of slowing. Many adults are identified as having an opioid use disorder through their involvement in the child protection system. A FDTC is a solution that provides assistance, treatment, resources, and recovery to individuals and families who need interdisciplinary care the most. It aims to help decrease the opioid overdose related deaths, keeps families intact, and decreases recidivism in the criminal justice system. Furthermore, it addresses the racial disparity in our community's Native American population where opioid use disorder and involvement in the child protection system significantly overlap.

Services provided by the BCA include providing investigative assistance in complex proactive and reactive criminal investigations, laboratory analysis, criminal history record keeping, and training throughout the state. The BCA currently operates from two primary locations in the state. BCA headquarters is located in St. Paul and houses the majority of the agency staff and operations. A regional facility is located in Bemidji, MN and supports operations for the northern portion of the state. With the goal to provide equitable services and response times to those served in the southern portion of the state, a new regional facility has been proposed for the Mankato, MN area.

Senator Smith MN Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies City of Saint Paul The City of Saint Paul requests funding to replace 600 end-of-life police portable radios to sustain the interoperable communications necessary to investigate, respond to, and prevent crime in the community. The City depends on 1,974 radios operating on the State of Minnesota's P25 ARMER network to provide public safety and service to residents. The radios, first procured in 2003, have been out of manufacturer's support since 2018 and reached their end of life. Full replacement would cost nearly $10M and add to the financial burden of our recovering communities. The police department operates 1,215 radios to maintain interoperability and perform its role in the City's Community First Public Safety strategy. Of these, 600 portable (handheld) radios directly support sworn officers in responding to Saint Paul and mutual-aid community public safety needs. Replacing 600 end-of-life portable radios would meet the most critical need in Saint Paul and allow the City to partner additional funding to sustain the interoperable communications necessary to investigate, respond to, and prevent crime in the City.

Senator Smith MN Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies City of Saint Paul There are great benefits when a Police Department reflects the community it serves - with officers and community members who share common understandings and experiences. The SPPD increased its percentage of BIPOC officers from 18% to 28% in just four years; but the community is also diversifying rapidly; Saint Paul increased from 40% to 49% BIPOC from 2010 to 2019. The LECPA is a collaboration that builds a pathway to law enforcement careers for young adults who have traditionally faced additional barriers; e.g., low-income, with no previous college education, female or BIPOC. Its graduates are helping to diversify the SPPD, but even those who have not become SPPD officers have gained college degrees and work experience and have provided hundreds of hours of community service because of their time in LECPA.

Senator Smith MN Financial Services and General Government African Economic Development Solutions African Economic Development Solutions (AEDS) has purchased a long vacant, condemned former Chevrolet dealership at North Snelling and Blair Avenues to create the Little Africa Plaza. The project establishes an important visual and social anchor by launching a grocery store stocking cultural foods and Halal meat, space for two or three small retail businesses, and African museum, and offices for AEDS. A small museum/gathering space is designed to showcase African art and cuisine and sell art and cultural clothing. These small businesses have built-in financial and technical support to ensure success. The project fulfills the government and philanthropy's racial equity and anti-displacement strategies. The former car dealership was built in 1926 and is structurally sound. There is a small second-floor office mezzanine, a partial but full height basement and garage doors front and rear. The exterior brick is deteriorated, the roof needs replacement, the walls lack insulation and there is no useful heating or cooling system. Rooftop HVAC units will be added, facilitating the expansion of the second floor as office space. A LULA lift or elevator will be required, along with new accessible bathrooms, window replacements and new flooring. Saint Paul MN $3,000,000 Website Letter

The intent of this project is to seek the development of unused, city-owned property on the existing site for the enhancement of training and response capabilities of multiple partners - those being local, regional and state public safety, emergency planners, utility providers and transportation agencies. The EOTF is home to Minnesota Task Force One, a multi jurisdictional response team that provides responses in catastrophic situations across Minnesota. Currently, Minnesota Task Force One sends trainees to Wisconsin as that is the closest site with the needed facilities. The goal of this project is to keep training costs down by having a local facility. Partners committed to using the upgraded and specific training facilities include BNSF Rail, CP Rail, Xcel Energy, CenterPoint Energy, Minneapolis Police, Minneapolis Public Works, St. Paul Fire St. Paul Police, MN Department of Public Safety, MN State Fire Marshal's Office, MN Task Force 1, MN Bomb Squad, MN Air Rescue, MN State Patrol, and the 55th CST.

Senator Smith MN Homeland Security Oslo Region Joint Powers Board For an 8-minute video summary of the project, please see fixtheflood.org The Red River of the North, bordering MN and ND, is extremely susceptible to spring and summer flooding events, overtopping roads and rail transportation and inundating farmland. This disrupts traffic by closing I-29 and all highway access through Oslo, MN on MN Hwy 1, and to ND Hwy 54, a trunk highway connecting northern Minnesota to I-29, as well as rail commerce delivering agricultural products to market. In the last 25 years, there have been 13 major flood events. The city of Oslo and farmyards are typically without access for up to 6 weeks when this happens. The project is a well-studied and publicly accepted solution to mitigate the frequency and intensity of flooding. Removing blockages in the river channel, including the two bridges that do not accommodate current flow rates, and replacing them with appropriately sized bridges allows the Red River to flow within its natural channel rather than overflow its banks. Additional protective levees and removal of 40 blockages in the river channel which produce significant reduction in flood occurrences and duration, as shown by recent modeling research by Houston Engineering. See Oslo Area Hydraulic Study-Phase 2.  Because of the many entities concerned, this project requires bi-state cooperation, including watershed districts, highway departments and DNR agencies. It should be stated that the water flooding the Oslo region is not local run-off, but the result of the entire Red River from the southern end of Minnesota that drains an area of 20,000,000 acres with a population of 631,000 people, including the upstream communities of Fargo, ND/Moorhead, MN and Grand Forks, ND/East Grand Forks, MN. The fact that the bridges and land features at the Oslo area cause a pinch point in the river flow has been a problem for decades, amplified by increased waterflows, that cannot be handled merely with the local population. The Oslo Region Joint Powers Board (ORJPB) applying for the funds is a governing body representing border townships established for the purpose of reducing the flooding occurrences by coordinating efforts of all affected agencies in the Oslo area.

SUD is an increasing health, social and economic crisis in Minnesota, exacerbated by widening racial and ethnic disparities and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Through MRC’s spectrum of programming, individuals stabilize their lives; access mainstream networks and institutions such as healthcare; secure safe housing; connect to education; gain job skills; and become fully contributing members of Minnesota’s community, skilled workforce and economy. 7-County Twin Cities Metropolitan Region MN $200,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Minnesota Department of Health has released Preliminary FY 2020 Drug Overdose Deaths Report. This report showed that Greater Minnesota drug overdose deaths increased 21% from 2019 to 2020. The increase from Quarter 1 to Quarter 2, drug overdoses was 43%. The MDH data also shows that adults aged 25 to 34 years had the highest number of opioid related drug overdose deaths increased by 57% that is 98 more individuals that lost life in 2020 than in 2019. The disparities from metro areas to greater Minnesota are apparent in all areas of support services and were highlighted during the pandemic. Mille Lacs Band proposed to open a culturally based treatment facility in Greater Minnesota. At this time there are only 9 treatment facilities in the Greater Minnesota region. With the Band’s proposal we can contribute to combatting the opioid crisis in rural regions with multiple barrier to self-sufficiency and a healthy lifestyle.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Forum of Regional Arts Councils of Minnesota While the Americans with Disabilities Act “prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public,” many of Minnesota’s arts and cultural venues do not meet this minimum requirement. This creates a great disadvantage for Minnesotans with disabilities to fully participate in the arts the way they should and could throughout the state. Recognizing the need to make the arts more accessible in Minnesota, Regional Arts Councils of Minnesota seeks to fund physical improvements to bring venues up to the standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Dakota Child and Family Clinic Despite the Medicaid expansion, approximately a half-million Minnesotans remain uninsured. Dakota Child and Family Clinic (DCFC) serves as a safety net for these vulnerable Minnesotans by expanding health care access to the underserved/uninsured, regardless of their ability to pay. Their populations include but are not limited to farmers and migrant farmworkers, racial/ethnic minorities, immigrants with language barriers, low-income children with mental health disorders, pregnant, rural populations, and people who are disabled, elderly, or experiencing homelessness. These patients have unmet social needs such as hunger, unemployment, language and transportation barriers, domestic violence etcetera causing them to slip through the cracks of major health care systems. To better address the needs of the people they serve, DCFC piloted the ImPaCT program and expanded access to clinic hours on Saturdays to help working families access care. Last year, the program was able to serve about 200 underinsured/uninsured families. Through ImPaCT, DCFC looks to expand their Saturday hours to full days, increase telehealth appointments, integrate dental and eyecare services, and increase staff capacity at the Family Assistance and Navigation (FaN) center.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Southern Anoka Community Assistance (SACA) Since its founding in 1976, SACA Food Shelf and Thrift Store has remained committed to providing basic needs services to the communities of Columbia Heights, Hilltop, Fridley, Spring Lake Park, and NE Minneapolis. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, our goal is to serve participants with dignity and respect, in hopes of providing a pathway to stability and self-sufficiency. Last year alone SACA served over 44,000 individuals and gave out 804,976 pounds of food to those in need. SACA has always had a home in Columbia Heights. We are thankful for the building that houses us, but we are bursting at the seams which makes it difficult to serve the rising need. The increased demand for services due to the COVID-19 outbreak, has made it clear that SACA needs a larger space earlier than originally planned. Columbia Heights MN $1,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Northwest Technical College Rural western Minnesota has long been faced with a critical shortage of healthcare workers throughout the region (Minnesota Department of Health, 2017). This shortage has been particularly discernible with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. The need for a more robust and extensive healthcare workforce calls for an immediate and collaborative response to produce a substantial number of properly trained and certified employees who can support the health and vitality of these communities. Along with a shortage in healthcare professionals, Beltrami and Mahnomen counties located within western Minnesota have the highest poverty rates of any other county in the state (Minnesota Department of Health, 2017). Additionally, many District 7 counties face some of the lowest health factors and outcomes (County Health Rankings, 2021). Therefore, it is clear the need for a solid, and diverse healthcare workforce is imperative to better support these rural Minnesota communities. The proposed project is an extension of an existing and successful high school career academy model that integrates community resources. The project enables the expertise of three Minnesota State higher education institutions to train a new cohort of nursing assistants and introduce individuals to other career opportunities in the medical field. Success with this model will create a more robust pathway for employment, specifically, the ability to fill a significant void in our healthcare workforce. This project will also create educational access for those interested in obtaining the nursing assistant credential but have been limited by financial and accessibility barriers.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Churches United in Ministry (CHUM) This proposal will address the critical need for permanent supportive housing in Duluth for people experiencing homelessness who also experience mental illness and/or substance abuse. About two-thirds (600+) of the people who come to CHUM’s emergency shelter each year fall into this category. There is almost no hope for recovery without stable housing. As the operator of St. Louis County’s largest homeless shelter, CHUM has seen a tragic cycle of people going to treatment, returning to the street/shelter environment and relapsing. To break this cycle we propose to build a facility, modeled after Duluth’s San Marco Apartments, which would provide permanent supportive housing and medical/mental health support in the same way that San Marco provides housing, medically supervised alcohol programs and sobriety supports to chronic alcoholics. For people with chronic substance use and mental health disorders, stable housing is an essential form of health care. The proposed project would complement St. Louis County’s Clarity Project. The Clarity Project is a collaborative initiative of numerous partners from across the Arrowhead Region of Minnesota designed to respond to a growing need to serve those who need mental health, behavioral health, and substance use services (https://www.stlouiscountymn.gov/departments-a-z/public-health-human-services/adult-services/clarity-project). The Clarity Project has two parts, and this proposal would add a third. For the past four years, the Clarity Project Partners have been working on the first part: to develop a regional initiative to build partnerships to improve quality and coordination of care for people experiencing mental health or chemical health crises, especially at transitions of care. The second part of the project is to build a physical space in Duluth, called the Clarity Center for Wellbeing, that will serve as a hub for services across the region and will provide on-site, tele-medicine and tele-phonic services to serve the needs of individuals across the region. The vision of the Clarity Center for Wellbeing is to provide patient-centered, holistic support and care to any age individual who is experiencing a substance use and / or mental health crisis through comprehensive care models facilitated by caring professionals. Funding for the construction of the Clarity Center for Wellbeing has been allocated from bonding from the MN Legislature and construction is targeted to begin in the spring of 2022. This proposal would add the third leg of the program: stable housing to support long-term recovery. We envision a 50-unit building, with efficiency apartments (including kitchenettes), that would also include office and clinical space for provision of mental health and/or chemical health services, including medically assisted treatment and telehealth. The facility would include community space that would serve both as a community living room and for congregate dining. The housing model would follow housing first, harm reduction and trauma-informed principles. It would be staffed by licensed alcohol and drug counselors, peer support specialists, and social workers. There would be a secure front desk, staffed 24/7. Potential tenants would be identified through the St. Louis County Continuum of Care, with similar eligibility as the State of Minnesota’s “Housing Supports for Adults with Serious Mental Illness” (HSASMI) grant to the Human Development Center and St. Louis County’s grant for housing supports for people with substance abuse disorder (SUD). CHUM is a sub-recipient on both of these grants. The limiting factor on both the HSASMI grant and the SUD grant is available units with supports to maintain housing and mental or chemical health stability. This proposal would help meet that need. In addition to the clinical and medical services on site, tenants would be eligible for Housing Supports and Housing Stabilization Services (part of Minnesota’s Medicaid Expansion). Rental subsidies could be available through Housing Supports, or tenant-based vouchers through the Duluth Housing and Redevelopment Authority. We would apply for project-based rental assistance as part of the development plan for the Clarity Project Housing. Duluth MN $25,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Accessible Space Inc. Since their founding in 1978, Accessible Space, Inc. (ASI) has played a significant role in providing accessible, affordable housing to those who need it most. Currently, ASI seeks to develop a 55 unit, affordable, accessible senior housing project at Morgan Park Senior Apartments in Duluth, MN. Developing this housing would connect older adults with the long-term services and supports necessary to keep them out of institutional settings. Financial burdens resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have challenged ASI, and the pandemic has only heightened the demand for affordable housing. Amidst a critical need for new housing, ASI’s ability to successfully finance new housing initiatives is challenged by ongoing and significant increases in construction materials and related construction costs, as well as by continued low housing tax credit values which reduce funding available for construction.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Lake Superior College Lake Superior College in Duluth, MN offers a nationally recognized aviation maintenance technician program which produces highly skilled and in-demand Airframe and/or Powerplant (A&P) certified mechanics. In 2018, Delta Air Lines selected Lake Superior College as an approved national partner college in training future aviation maintenance technicians (AMTs). Delta TechOps evaluated numerous AMT schools throughout the country with a goal to find colleges that are committed to meeting FAA standards and Delta’s principles of excellence to help meet the high demand for Aviation Maintenance Technician positions expected over the next several years. While LSC greatly values the relationship and partnership with Delta, the college also strives to recruit and retain talent in northeast Minnesota. Prior to the pandemic, LSC worked very closely with AAR in Duluth. More than half of the nearly 300 employees at Duluth’s AAR were trained at LSC. In 2019, LSC and AAR announced an expanded partnership to continue to recruit and retain talent for years to come by launching the Eagle Pathway Program. The program was vastly successful from the start, allowing AAR to expand their hiring in the summer of 2019 and even extend their lease in the City of Duluth for an additional twenty years, with great confidence. AAR was adding a fourth maintenance line/night shift, while LSC had three full cohorts and was preparing to add a fourth when the pandemic hit which devastated the airline industry. AAR lost their primary customer in United Airlines and was forced to close their Duluth operation in June of 2020. In the meantime, LSC’s AMT program continues to maintain strong enrollment and continues to seek a new aviation partner in the existing hangar. Several aviation partners have expressed in interest in the hangar, including MRO Holdings. A new aviation partner could bring as much as 300-500 new jobs to the area and take advantage of the already thriving aviation industry in Duluth/NE Minnesota. In order to help recruit, partner with, and successfully support another aviation partner, LSC needs to update their increasingly outdated equipment to meet industry standard and ensure students are learning on modern equipment. The attached proposal includes $2.6M in needed equipment which would bring the program and its equipment to modern standards and enhance LSC’s ability to recruit, retain and train our region’s future aviation workforce. As a member of the Minnesota State system, Lake Superior College is a member of the Minnesota Transportation Center of Excellence which includes the two other AMT programs in the State of Minnesota: Northland Community and Technical College (NCTC) in Thief River Falls and Minneapolis Community and Technical College (MCTC). Together, our three campuses, along with St. Cloud State University, have been discussing ways to promote the AMT programs, career opportunities and increasing workforce needs. LSC/Duluth has a unique, competitive advantage in the sense that there is an empty hangar ready for a new aviation partner to begin taking advantage of the pipeline of highly trained aviation talent being produced by LSC. As the only AMT school in northeast Minnesota, LSC wants to ensure Duluth/NE Minnesota remains a premiere aviation maintenance training destination and a thriving aviation hub. Thank you for your support. This would be a huge win not only for LSC and aviation, but for the entire regional economy. Duluth MN $2,618,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota Over more than a century of service, Bethany Crisis Shelter – Duluth has functioned as an orphanage, a crisis shelter, and a place of safety and care for generations of children. Throughout this time, LSS has adapted the service delivery method to care for children in crisis and meet family needs. Between 2012 and 2017 there was a significant increase in the number of very young children requiring emergency shelter in St. Louis County. In the last few years, there is a greater mix of ages between birth and 17, with more large sibling groups and a decreased length of stay. The trauma experienced however, is more significant in recent years and youth are disproportionately from BIPOC communities. To meet the change in needs, LSS has improved the service model, providing more specialized training for staff and incorporated Children’s Therapeutic Supports and Services (CTSS) into programming. We’ve also hired a Clinical Therapist who is embedded in our youth and family services to provide mental well being services to children and families on a voluntary basis. LSS is committed to continue offering emergency shelter in a safe environment where children can escape, recover, and heal from trauma. In order to do so, we are rebuilding the Bethany Crisis Shelter – Duluth to be a space that is safe, comfortable and flexible enough to welcome all children, regardless of age or need. At the same time LSS recognizes the need for additional services that remove barriers and address family needs by supporting families before crisis occurs. We continue to see families in need of support and resources related to education, employment with livable wages, safe and affordable housing, mental health and chemical health. Parents seek connection in community, safety and security for themselves and their children. And we know that providing access to resources stabilizes families, helps them remain together and prevents crisis. With a vision of service model improvement, the rebuilt Bethany Crisis Shelter will include space for family reunification, supervised visits, parent coaching, and more. Whether crisis has occurred or resources are provided to prevent crisis, LSS Bethany Crisis Shelter – Duluth will be able to offer the support to partner with families to regain stability, increase resiliency and remain whole. With vast community support and engagement, LSS has raised sixty-five percent of the funds required for the project. Congressionally Directed spending would allow LSS to move forward in rebuilding Bethany Crisis Shelter – Duluth, to provide safety, comfort, and healing for Northland families now and in generations to come.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Nexus Family Healing The North Metro Minnesota Mental Health Center will fill a critical gap in the region’s mental health support network by offering multiple levels of services more readily accessible to children, adults and families the right care at the time they need it most. The lack of flexible mental health services throughout Minnesota today has rippling and crippling effects on families, communities and health care systems. The widely documented lack of mental health services creates: - Expensive and emotionally distressing backlogs of children and adults being boarded for days and sometimes weeks in area hospitals; - Failure to address youth mental health needs when they emerge, leading to a large amount of out of state placements that rip youth from their communities resulting in extreme stress for the children and families in addition to high strain on public funds. - Involvement in law enforcement to address mental health challenges, leading to detention, arrests and jail time when a mental health intervention is needed Nexus Family Healing has been directly contacted by three counties and one ten county region around the dire need for “no wrong door” behavioral health services in the past year. There is a clear need to fill this gap for short term crisis services, longer term stabilization services and higher end residential for youth with extreme mental and behavioral health challenges.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Northland Community & Technical College Mental health resources and support continue to be a significant need throughout our communities. Although empirical data are just now becoming available, pandemic-related stressors coupled with social and political unrest have exacerbated mental health and substance abuse issues. For example, a 2020 study found that 30.7% of adult Minnesotans surveyed reported experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression. This figure is contrasted with a study three years prior with 19.3% of adults reporting any type of mental illness. Further, the Minnesota Department of Health reports that upwards of 40% of adolescents may experience mental health issues in a given year and nearly 2.4% of Minnesotans ages 12 and over report drug dependence. Based on these findings, it is imperative that we offer critical resources and training to community members to ensure they have the necessary tools to support their own and others’ mental health and wellness. That is why Northland Community & Technical College seeks to increase mental health first aid access and training through an evidence-based mental health training program. Targeting rural areas in Western Minnesota, where access to mental health resources and training are more limited, this program will provide hundreds of people with the knowledge and tools to support and offer resources to those who may be experiencing mental health challenges.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Apple Tree Dental Apple Tree operates eight Centers for Dental Health serving low-income, underserved, children, families, people with special needs, and the elderly, the majority of whom are on Medical Assistance. Our Critical Access Dental clinics and mobile sites are located across the state, in Coon Rapids, Fairmont, Fergus Falls, Hawley, Little Falls, Madelia, Mounds View, and Rochester. Our programs serve patients from 85 of the Minnesota’s 87 counties. Shortages of dental care are particularly acute in rural communities, as documented by the Minnesota Department of Health, and by the fact that Apple Tree has thousands of families on waiting lists seeking care. The result is a critical need for federal appropriation to fund the creation of Minnesota’s first rural dental residency program, and the expansion our rural mobile dentistry program. In spite of the pandemic’s many challenges, Apple Tree provided 66,990 dental visits to 29,158 patients with a service value of nearly $24 million in 2020. 82.5% of Apple Tree’s patients depend on Medical Assistance. Our Centers were among a small number of clinics that were prepared and trained to stay open to provide critically needed urgent dental care that kept people out of hospitals. During mid-2020, nearly a third of the patients we treated were new patients, referred by regional hospitals, health plans, and other dental clinics that couldn’t provide care. Apple Tree is designated by the Minnesota Department of Human Services as a Critical Access Dental (CAD) Provider. With an integrated team of professionals that includes specially trained dentists, dental therapists, and a multilingual staff, we prioritize preventive care while also providing a full range of needed treatments and advanced services for people with complex medical, behavioral and dental needs. Using our mobile delivery systems, we provide comprehensive care on-site at 145 locations across the state in collaboration with local health, education, and social services organizations. We are the largest provider of dental care to long-term care facilities statewide. Founded as a non-profit in Minnesota in 1985, Apple Tree’s mission is to overcome barriers to oral health, and our vision is to inspire partnerships that foster healthy communities. Apple Tree is nationally recognized for its pioneering approach to integrating dental care as part of overall health and well-being. In addition to 36 years delivering care in long-term care facilities, Apple Tree has several ground-breaking medical-dental integration projects at three of its Centers located within hospitals, a program that integrates dental care within a pediatric medical clinic, and a collaboration with Minnesota’s Department of Human Services’ Special Care Dentistry Clinic located within our new Fergus Falls Center. 20 years ago, Apple Tree led the nation in using tele-dentistry at Head Start Centers, and has been recognized for expanding teledentistry during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Red Wing Ignite Despite doing well in STEM classes early on, studies show that many girls do not pursue STEM subjects or majors due to lack of experience, confidence and perception of lack of fit in the domain due to social and environmental factors. Understanding this, Red Wing Ignite seeks to provide an introductory woodworking summer camp to young girls in order to create a time and place to safely build skills, gain confidence and witness their own ideas brought to life. They are given tasks and opportunities to practice fine motor, observational, planning, spatial and visual processing skills. Exposure to the basic woodworking tools and projects is instrumental in developing problem solving skills. Female instructors, who are positive role models, create a welcoming and comfortable environment. In addition to woodworking, they have a series of team building activities. There is empowerment for the girls in knowing how to work with these basic tools and decrease intimidation. One final and significant component of the camp is giving back to the community. They have a collective project they build and donate to a local organization on the final day. This hands on demonstration of their efforts, making a real difference in their own community, reinforces empathy and concern for others. Goodhue County MN $19,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies City of Lamberton The City of Lamberton, MN needs funding to build a 24-unit assisted living facility for its aging residents. The need for lower income housing for seniors is driving many residents to neighboring / larger cites. To sustain population and growth for the community as a whole, rural communities need to retain residents. The City of Lamberton needs to provide members of its senior population with activities for daily living while meeting nutrition and healthcare needs. The lack of care facilities in rural communities can cause hardship and difficult choices for individuals and their families. When not available, families must decide if home care is possible or if relocation to a facility outside of their community is necessary. A move to another community can be stressful, and family members might not be able to visit as often as they would like.

Our Critical Access Dental clinics and mobile sites are located across the state, in Coon Rapids, Fairmont, Fergus Falls, Hawley, Little Falls, Madelia, Mounds View, and Rochester. Our programs serve patients from 85 of the Minnesota’s 87 counties. Our statewide dental access crisis is revealed in the Twin Cities Public Television documentary: https://www.tpt.org/uncovered-minnesotas-dental-crisis/ Shortages of dental care are particularly acute in rural communities, as documented by the Minnesota Department of Health, and by the fact that Apple Tree has thousands of families on waiting lists seeking care. The result is a critical need for federal appropriation to fund the expansion our dental facilities. In spite of the pandemic’s many challenges, Apple Tree provided 66,990 dental visits to 29,158 patients with a service value of nearly $24 million in 2020. 82.5% of Apple Tree’s patients depend on Medical Assistance. Our Centers were among a small number of clinics that were prepared and trained to stay open to provide critically needed urgent dental care that kept people out of hospitals. During mid-2020, nearly a third of the patients we treated were new patients, referred by regional hospitals, health plans, and other dental clinics that couldn’t provide care. To learn more, please view a short 2-minute video about Apple Tree Dental: https://youtu.be/H-es3kTqaIU. Apple Tree is designated by the Minnesota Department of Human Services as a Critical Access Dental (CAD) Provider. With an integrated team of professionals that includes specially trained dentists, dental therapists, and a multilingual staff, we prioritize preventive care while also providing a full range of needed treatments and advanced services for people with complex medical, behavioral and dental needs. Using our mobile delivery systems, we provide comprehensive care on-site at 145 locations across the state in collaboration with local health, education, and social services organizations. We are the largest provider of dental care to long-term care facilities statewide. Founded as a non-profit in Minnesota in 1985, Apple Tree’s mission is to overcome barriers to oral health, and our vision is to inspire partnerships that foster healthy communities. Apple Tree is nationally recognized for its pioneering approach to integrating dental care as part of overall health and well-being. In addition to 36 years delivering care in long-term care facilities, Apple Tree has several ground-breaking medical-dental integration projects at three of its Centers located within hospitals, a program that integrates dental care within a pediatric medical clinic, and a collaboration with Minnesota’s Department of Human Services’ Special Care Dentistry Clinic located within our new Fergus Falls Center. 20 years ago, Apple Tree led the nation in using tele-dentistry at Head Start Centers, and has been recognized for expanding teledentistry during the COVID-19 pandemic. To meet the dental access needs of thousands of underserved Minnesotans, Apple Tree Dental is respectfully requesting funding for the following initiatives: 1) Little Falls Center for Dental Health construction and equipment to serve Morrison County in Central Minnesota 2) Mobile dental offices and equipment to be used by staff from our Fairmont and Madelia Centers for Dental Health to serve nursing homes, group homes and other sites in Southern Minnesota. 3) Remodeling at our Rochester Center for Dental Health that will support expanded dental services in Southeastern Minnesota. 4) Truck and mobile dental offices needed to launch a new mobile dental program at our Fergus Falls Center for Dental Health in West Central Minnesota.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Vinland National Center Vinland National Center is the only residential SUD program in the state of Minnesota that meets the complex needs of adults with disabilities seeking treatment for drug and alcohol abuse, specializing in brain injuries and other cognitive issues as well as those clients with severe and persistent mental illness. The project will provide for a Meaningful Living Skills portion to Vinland’s treatment program. This would help clients learn basic computer skills, so that they might be able to learn how to conduct online banking, or to search out recovery support meetings and/or podcasts, apply for jobs and search for a place to live. Teaching these basic skills will help individuals when transitioning from Vinland back to the outside world. Loretto MN $140,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies MRCI Since 1953, MRCI has focused on individuals with a menu of services that offer person centered choices at home, at work and in the community. MRCI has continued to operate as a true leader in the field of disability services by providing employment programs that assist in their achievement of personal goals and by focusing on the people we serve through individualized planning. Unemployment has risen sharply because of the COVID-19 crisis, particularly among people with disabilities. Approximately 1 million U.S. workers with disabilities have lost their jobs since the World Health Organization proclaimed the outbreak a pandemic in March, according to the New Hampshire University Institute on Disability. Since March, 1 in 5 workers with disabilities have been dismissed from employment, compared with 1 in 7 in the general population, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. When the COVID-19 virus began to hit businesses, many employees were laid off or furloughed. Furthermore, the greatest job losses have been in the retail and hospitality sectors, where many people with disabilities had found community-based jobs. Some employers have been hesitant to hire people with disabilities during the pandemic out of fear that reasonable accommodations would be expensive. The pandemic "financially decimated many employers," limiting their ability to accommodate workers with disabilities as robustly as before the spread of COVID-19. Mankato MN $550,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies YMCA of the North The YMCA of the North requests Congressionally Directed Spending funds to support our Neighborhood Centers (launched in 2002), a unique program based in affordable housing communities designed to help families increase success, close opportunity gaps, address family barriers, and enhance health and wellness. Programming is delivered at no cost to participants. We offer a two-generation approach to disrupting the cycle of poverty. Neighborhood Centers is offered year-round based in an affordable housing communities in the Twin Cities metro suburbs. Our approach provides strengths-based supports accessed in a safe environment within their housing community. Families participating in YMCA Neighborhood Centers face multiple barriers to achieving success: • All participants have low or very low incomes. • More than 96% of families are people of color or recent immigrants (majority from Afghanistan, Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Russia). These families may be adjusting to a new and different culture in Minnesota. • Participants speak at least 10 different languages at home, and some are English language learners. • Many have lived through civil war, refugee camps, or other traumatic events. Some may have post-traumatic stress from experiencing unstable living situations, violence, or uncertain citizenship statuses. • Youth often face additional responsibilities in the home. Adults in many of the families we serve are often short on time as they work long hours, multiple jobs, or attend training to gain skills that will qualify them for higher-paying jobs. Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic: The pandemic has exacerbated racial and economic disparities in our community. Per data from MN DEED, the Impact of COVID-19 on Minnesota's Labor Market, by Alessia Leibert, delivers multiple insights. Leibert notes: Between March-August 2020, 678,225 Minnesotans filed a jobless claim that was certified as eligible for benefits. This figure is 85% above the baseline. Emergent trends noted by Leibert show that the pandemic has disproportionately impacted specific groups: • Race: African American claimants represent 11% of the jobless population while they made up 6% of the labor force, and experience the highest average number of weeks claimed, followed by American Indians. • Education: People without education beyond high school are overrepresented (38%) and have the longest duration of unemployment and highest probability of still being out of work. • Wage Level: Layoffs disproportionately affected workers whose earnings were below the statewide median wage; the pandemic has taken a toll on the working poor and individuals earning less than $14.70/hour pre-COVID-19 are the most likely to be still out of work. The families we serve are amongst those who have been the hardest hit by the pandemic. Many struggle with generational poverty as well as poverty related to immigration. Low-income families, immigrants, and people of color have moved to suburbs to access housing, suburban schools, lower crime rates, etc. These dynamics have created pockets of poverty, producing gaps, and poverty has continued to grow. Yet, compared to cities in the urban core, suburban communities do not offer as robust a network of resources therefore, lower-income families are facing barriers with less access to resources: • Economic Assets: In 2018, the median household income for Black families was $38,600 in Minnesota, compared to $70,300 for White people (US Census). • Academic Achievement: A 2019 report from the Minnesota Department of Education showed: 35% of low-income students met 3rd grade reading standards and 36% met 8th grade math standards, both indicators of probable high school graduation; and 62% of Black, Native American, and Latino students graduate on time compared to 88% of Caucasian students. • Health Impacts: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted health inequities as more people of color face disproportionate impacts from COVID-19 on their health. YMCA Neighborhood Centers are designed to meet needs by providing an array of supports. The YMCA is delivering a research-guided approach. Our centers are resource rich environments that are designed to address the disparities. Given the challenges of ending the generational cycle of poverty, and the increasing number of homes with single guardians, non-parent guardians, and multiple generations in one household, our multi-generational approach is critical. We believe we have a service model that could be replicated as one that demonstrates results for increasing healthy child and family development and holistic wellbeing.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Southwest Minnesota State University Foundation The Southwest Minnesota State University Center for Integrated Agriculture and Food Systems will create multidisciplinary experiential educational opportunities within research projects that encourage sustainable agricultural practices, expose a diverse student population to rural career paths, and address food security issues. The migration of young college-bound students from rural to urban areas is creating a lack of educated workers willing to settle in rural Minnesota. This trend has a significant impact on the agriculture and food production industries due to their dependence on rural communities. There is also a need to address food security issues in rural communities and throughout Minnesota. Further, the future of sustainable agriculture, the rural environment, and food security can benefit from programs designed to expose undergraduate students to hands-on experiential education opportunities that inspire innovation.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Indian Health Board of Minneapolis, Inc. Based on a March 2015 Urban Diabetes Care and Outcomes Summary Report from the Urban Indian Health Institute (UIHI), approximately 71% of American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) live in urban areas. 14.3% of IHB’s service area population report having diabetes, which is the 4th leading cause of mortality in the service area. The ability to address the mental health and social supports needs of our population is essential. In all Urban Indian Health Organization (UIHO) service areas, 15.0% of AI/ANs report rarely or never receive emotional and social support, compared with 9.2% of the general population. Yet, in IHB’s service area, a higher percentage of AI/ANs report having frequent mental distress (19.9%) compared to 7.1% of the general population. In IHB’s service area, the report states that 78.0% of AI/ANs identified one or more providers from whom they usually receive care, compared to 76.5% of the general population. This measure shows how valuable an asset IHB is to the community by providing quality staff that patients trust. IHB, now in its 50th year, was the first Urban Indian Health Organization (UIO) in the nation. It is important to note that while 70% of Native people live in urban centers, UIOs get less than 1% of the IHS Budget. Further, UIOs do not have access to IHS building/ facilities capital which requires us to seek other sources of funds for our capital projects. IHB is developing the Indian Health Board Wellness Campus in the heart of Indian Country in South Minneapolis to provide traditional healing as well as medical, dental and specialty services to better serve our clients.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Hennepin Healthcare The Hennepin Healthcare East Lake Clinic was destroyed during the civil unrest after George Floyd’s death. This clinic and the primary zip codes served in South Minneapolis are in a Federally Designated Medically Underserved Area (MUA). The rebuilt clinic will be co-located within the new Hennepin County Human Services Center at 2215 East Lake Street, just across Hiawatha Ave. The new location enhancements include situated on the light rail transit route to help with transportation barriers and co-located with critical Hennepin County Public Health and Human Services programs to align with their services, easy patient access cross-referrals, and group space. Hennepin County has invited this co-location partnership to pilot a promising new expansion of traditional primary care with one-stop access to improve access to Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) services, behavioral health care, and insurance and other benefit application assistance. Hennepin Healthcare has received a Bush Foundation Community Innovation grant to create a new trauma-informed primary care model, taking into account systemic racism, Social Determinants of Health, and trauma. To be a trauma-informed care provider is to be aware that patients likely have a wide and varied personal history of events that have caused them to endure trauma and to provide care in a way that seeks to minimize re-traumatization. An 18-month community collaborative will lead the planning so patients, community members and partners will guide the work. Hennepin Healthcare plans to pilot the developed model at the East Lake Clinic. Minneapolis MN $4,600,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies City of Minneapolis The Minneapolis Tech Pathway aligns and scales the work of Step Up, Minneapolis Youth Works (WIOA) and MSP TechHire by building out a clear and comprehensive tech training and internship model for youth and young adults ages 16 to 24 in Minnesota Congressional District 5. While many youth and young adults may be on a college pathway, there are a significant number of young adults for whom college enrollment is not possible or expedient at this time. The Tech Pathway offers alternative access to high demand tech careers with credential training options in secondary schools and community organizations. By embedding tech training opportunities in schools and community-based organizations, participants still in high school can earn certifications before they graduate, and young adults can access training and certifications with the support of trusted community partners and youth service organizations. Following certification, youth will be supported by tech specific paid internships. Minneapolis MN $2,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Summit Academy OIC Minnesota at Work is a prosperity and wealth creation platform for people locked out of our society in Minnesota and left behind socially and economically. It is a talent-readiness solution designed to build foundational work skills on short-term assignments preparing participants (crews) for skilled training and/or full-time employment. The mission is to create opportunity, stability, and prosperity for works of today, tomorrow and the future in the poorest communities of Minnesota. Minnesota at Work aims to disrupt the growing dual public health crisis of crime and imprisonment by providing opportunities for those struggling in our communities the resources and connections they need to become productive citizens, employees, and neighbors. It positions communities of color to take advantage of the great “tech” explosion and the massive proposed infrastructure investments by providing the education, skills and relationships needed to take advantage of the opportunities out there and to become self-sufficient. Our economic prosperity platform consists of four key elements: 1) STEM education and IT training, 2) Credentialed and customized training for emerging business sectors, 3) Work readiness and WPA-style jobs, and 4) Direct placement with employers. This systemic approach is underway and is poised to expand. This multi-pronged approach will maximize talent attachment to the workforce in a time where employers are facing a skills and talent shortage. Minneapolis MN $2,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Minnesota Public Health Association The Minnesota Public Health Association (MPHA) was established in 1907 as the premier volunteer-driven membership organization of nearly 500 public health professionals from a wide range of disciplines across the state. Over the past few years, MPHA has committed to becoming a more anti-racist organization and has also identified a gap in public health workforce training for young leaders of color. Our work plans call for a sizable investment to realize our goals to further our internal anti-racist work and to initiate a leadership development program for public health leaders in Minnesota. This proposal directs a two-pronged approach to improve anti-racist public health in Minnesota through both top-down and bottom-up strategies. The first strategy calls for the creation of a cross-cultural public health advocacy training fellowship for current students, community public health advocates, and early professionals from communities of color and American Indians interested in public health. This fellowship would provide a framework for increasing participant’s efficacy in local advocacy efforts and the opportunity to network and collaborate with Fellows from other disenfranchised communities. The funding would help support the administration needs for maintaining a cohort of students as well as provide compensation for individuals participating in the fellowship. A common barrier in extracurricular training programs is the lack of funding provided to participants, resulting in programs being overwhelmingly upper-class White individuals who can afford to spend time without compensation. Providing a competitive and living wage for the training fellows as well as increasing our ability to support and engage with our local and state community will create a stronger workforce. The second objective consists of offering culturally based trainers representative of communities of color and American Indian nations to the existing statewide public health workforce throughout the state, including the 51 Minnesota Community Health Boards (local public health). It is undeniable that the demographics of Minnesota are changing rapidly and we must adequately prepare our workforce for cross-cultural work. By intentionally providing culturally relevant and anti-racism training to our local public health workforce, we can increase the capacity of our local public health practitioners to be able to meet the needs of the communities they serve. Through MPHA’s unique position as a long-standing, independent public health association, this two-fold strategy builds capacity to improve the health of all Minnesotans.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Greater Twin Cities United Way On any given night in the Greater Twin Cities, nearly 7,000 people will find themselves homeless. Those most likely to face this painful experience is hauntingly predictable: people of color were nearly four times as likely to experience homelessness vs. their white counterparts in 2018. Further, youth who have exited the foster care system and formerly incarcerated adults are vastly overrepresented among those experiencing homelessness. To combat this problem, community partners, coalition partners, etc. Greater Twin Cities United Way plans to launch an initiative that will break the pipeline into homelessness for these two vulnerable populations. This initiative was conceived with input from our many community partners. Pathways Home is an initiative to leverage the proven services (such as job training, mental health support, case management, and rent assistance) that help people facing homelessness maintain safe, stable housing, to proactively prevent homelessness among those at greatest risk: the 9,000 adults exiting incarceration and youth exiting foster care annually in Minnesota (among which Black and Indigenous Minnesotans and those of color are deeply overrepresented). We will leverage our deep partnerships with direct-service providers, grantees, and coalition partners to ensure services are extended to these vulnerable populations prior to homelessness ever occurring.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Native American Community Clinic In the last two years, NACC has doubled in size from under 40 employees to more than 80 currently due to the growing demands for culturally responsive health programming and the toll COVID-19 has taken on the Native American community. The clinic has implemented telehealth services, hosted testing pop-ups and vaccination clinics, and continues to work to address any emerging needs of the community in Minneapolis amidst the COVID recovery period. NACC has been planning a clinic expansion plan since 2019 and the pandemic has further proven their need for more space. The clinic expansion project will allow NACC to double its impact, from serving 5,000 unique patients to nearly 10,000 yearly with augmented clinic and outreach health services. Additionally, the expansion will allow the clinic to expand their services such as responsive COVID-19 care and recovery, chemical health programs, school-based programs, and pediatric health. Lastly, it will provide more than 20 new jobs for individuals within the community. Minneapolis MN $1,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies City of Minneapolis In Minnesota, suicide is the second-leading cause of death for 11- to 18-year-olds, and statewide surveys show increasing rates of youth depression, anxiety, and suicide. School based health care has pioneered a successful model of onsite mental health services that are culturally relevant. Having mental health services in a convenient, easy to access location, has been shown particularly beneficial for Minneapolis public school students. However, there are not enough therapists to meet the needs of students across Minneapolis' several high schools. MPS is seeking funding in order to hire three additional school-based mental health professionals, which would result in over 150 additional teens being served annually at South, Roosevelt, Henry, Washburn, Edison, and Southwest high schools. Adolescent clients will receive from 2 to 30 visits resulting in the addition of 525 to 776 visits annually. Minneapolis MN $900,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Hennepin Healthcare - Whittier Clinic Aquí Para Tí (APT)/Here for You is a comprehensive positive youth development clinic that provides medical care, behavioral health assessment, coaching, health education, and referrals to Latinx youths, their parents, and young adults. APT has been serving Minneapolis for over 20 years and has observed a dramatic 3-fold increase for the need for mental health services for youth in the past four years. The clinic's positive youth development approach focuses specifically on helping youth establish a positive cultural and racial identity through fostering critical consciousness, providing mental health services, ensuring academic success, and improving family relationships. This person-centered care allows APT to reduce the impact of social determinants on youth of color. COVID-19 sent a second wave of crisis that affected Latinx youth with increased force. The pandemic created multiple “shadow pandemics” (the Health-related, the Economic, the negative impact to mental health, and the increase of Gender-based Violence), all significantly affecting marginalized communities. APT experienced a surge in demand for services and has over 70 patients on the waitlist. Although the clinic has created a triage plan to ensure most teens were screened timely around higher needs, the team is still experiencing capacity issues. To meet the growing demand for the clinic’s family-centered, trauma-informed services, APT is seeking to increase access to care for its patient population. The clinic hopes to expand its program to develop and conduct training on sexual exploitation of youth, healthy relationships, safe sex practices, and general family planning. Additionally, APT hopes to allow new Community Health Workers (CHW) to receive specific training on identifying and preventing sexual exploitation of youth. The CHW will collaborate with Hennepin County Human Services program coordinators to build a strong referral network for youth who have been sexually exploited. This project will support APT’s goals to ensure timely coordination of care for high-need youth, increase awareness and education on sexual exploitation of youth, and improve collaboration across Hennepin Healthcare’s departments and external partners to serve youth of color.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Southside Harm Reduction Services Southside Harm Reduction Services (SHRS) is a grassroots, comprehensive harm reduction program that primarily serves the unsheltered, Indigenous community in South Minneapolis. Harm reduction and syringes services programs are CDC-backed health interventions, and evidence shows that people who engage with harm reduction services are more likely to access health care and ultimately cease their drug use. Among all states and the District of Columbia, Minnesota had the eighth-lowest rate of fatal overdose in 2018. But digging into the numbers by race, the statistics are severely inequitable. In 2019, Native Minnesotans were 7x more likely to die from a drug overdose as White Minnesotans; African Americans were twice as likely to die from a fatal drug overdose as White Minnesotans. In 2018, these race rate disparities were the worst, and second-worst, in the country. SHRS seeks to expand their ability to carry out core harm reduction services to ensure that everyone is able to claim their rights to health and dignity. Minneapolis MN $600,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies People's Center Clinics and Services Stigma, trauma from experiences of being a refugee and the opioid epidemic were subjects of increasing concern prior to coronavirus pandemic. PCCS was in regular dialogue with community partners and stakeholders such as the Brian Coyle Community Center, a Somali mothers group, Cedar Riverside Community Council, a newly formed youth organization - General Hope among others to identify ways to address the increased demand for mental health services and substance use treatment care in the East African community. With the lockdown that resulted from the pandemic, many of these groups and organizations either paused activities or shifted focus to deal with the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has put our community at greater risk than they have ever experienced in their history. Our patients have multiple co-morbidities and without interventions by People's Center to innovate and develop infrastructure to address those, they would be facing potential loss of life should they be infected with the virus. It is in this environment and this urgent purpose for co-creating with community input an expanded, integrated behavioral healthcare model to address the trauma due to historical racism, experience as a refugee and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Metro Meals on Wheels Metro Meals on Wheels (MMOW) has been serving meals across the metro area since 1997. While the primary recipients of meals have been seniors and individuals with disabilities, MMOW is seeking to fund meal delivery aimed at veterans, aged 50 and older living in the Metro Meals on Wheels service area. The meal service not only provides nutrition services for those in need but a daily visit from a trained volunteer able to access the living conditions and health of the individual. A lack of nutrition has well documented detrimental effects on health and wellness, but little is discussed concerning social isolation and the effects it can have on the most vulnerable. In a VA published study in 2018 it, "Among five forms of social connectedness, loneliness was tied to the highest levels of depression and suicide ideation, or thoughts of committing suicide, the researchers found. Loneliness was also associated with the lowest levels of patient efforts to manage their health and to seek help." In a survey conducted by Metro Meals on Wheels in 2020, 60% of meal recipients said that receiving a daily visit from a Meals on Wheels volunteer made them feel less lonely or less isolated. This program will serve both the physical and mental health of veterans also saving resources over the long term as recipients become more likely to manage and seek help if needed.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies ISD 319 School Board While several Iron Range school districts have replaced their aging buildings with the help of funding from the IRRRB, state aid, and local taxpayer referendums in recent years, Nashwauk-Keewatin continues to struggle with the expensive and growing challenges of operating two 100+ year-old buildings. Both Keewatin Elementary and Nashwauk-Keewatin High School are the oldest schools in the state of Minnesota. Although we have made the most of our limited maintenance budget to make essential repairs, the list of facility needs grows larger and more costly with each passing year. Recent assessments by independent experts concluded that maintenance and educational de?ciencies in our buildings extend far beyond the district’s budget. The tax base in district 319 does not support the building needs of the district. Significant properties are old mining areas, projected mining areas or areas used for the processing of mining iron ore. These properties are undeveloped or the taxes from these lands go through the IRRR and do not properly support a capital need of the district. Nashwauk MN $5,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Laura Baker Services Association (LBSA) Advocating for and coordinating services for families and guardians with a loved one with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) can be exhausting and time-consuming. The resulting time, effort and frustration required to find support and work through behavioral challenges can negatively impact home and work life and there isn’t adequate support to help loved ones navigate this journey. Even before COVID-19, the need for Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) for individuals with IDD was already increasing, and HCBS providers were experiencing organizational strain. To fill this gap Laura Baker Services Association (LBSA) is launching two new program expansion initiatives over the next year to answer unmet needs in the Intellectual and Developmental Disability (IDD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) communities in Minnesota and to create new sources of sustainable revenue for LBSA. Our Family Navigator Services program will help families and guardians of special needs people navigate the complicated IDD support world, identify and link to resources and provide education and ongoing support and connections to other people in the same situation. The Behavioral Consulting Services program will assist parents and guardians with young and adult children with the development of support plans to address behavioral challenges. These plans will be designed to stabilize behavior, with the goal of helping individuals remain in their existing housing environment and to increase their overall quality of life.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Ramsey County The Ramsey County Housing Stability Department (HSD) reduces homelessness and mitigates barriers to successful permanent housing placement, enabling individuals and families to thrive and be more self-sufficient. The proposed Caring Collective is a demonstration project that centers around whole-family stabilization and wrap-around support models, preventing long-term multi-generational homelessness trends. Children and unaccompanied youth age 24 and younger make up nearly half of those experiencing homelessness. The 2018 Wilder Minnesota Homeless Study surveyed individuals experiencing homelessness about selected Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs); many of these experiences are strongly related to the development and prevalence of a wide range of health problems throughout a person’s lifespan. A large majority of homeless youth (89%) had at least one adverse experience in childhood. Additionally, the study showed that a mere 28% of surveyed homeless Ramsey County families had “regular access to childcare.” Furthermore, the 2020 Minnesota Housing Finance Agency: Evaluation of Permanent Supportive Housing found that 46% of surveyed parents who recently transitioned out of homelessness to public housing stated that they needed help accessing childcare and other services for children including children’s mental health. With a goal to proactively combat the growing youth and family homelessness issue, the county’s proposed Caring Collective is a families’ first model that aims to break the cycle by targeting parents residing in homeless shelters and public and supportive housing facilities- connecting children to quality childcare and supporting families in their health care and employment goals. Caring Collective’s approach is unique in that the county will target services for children in shelters and those already housed- focusing on long-term stability and investment into our community’s future generations. The county will document their approach in order to create an effective model for long-term success, addressing what many communities experience as part of this nationwide challenge. Successful solutions will be shared with the MN Children’s Cabinet along with Head Start and HUD national and regional offices. Ramsey County MN $500,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies North Memorial Health Hospital North Memorial Health Care emergency department at the Robbinsdale Hospital requests $1,000,000 to provide seven negative air pressure rooms to contain and isolate COVID-19 or other infectious diseases. North Memorial Health Hospital-Robbinsdale has a Level I Trauma Center and handles some of the most difficult and tragic cases in all of Minnesota. In 2020, ambulance EMS runs to Robbinsdale totaled nearly 18,000. Those patients were seen in the Emergency Department all while COVID-19 protocols applied immense stress on the operation. The North Memorial request for federal help is made to prepare for the next pandemic. By now, we have all heard of the need for a different approach to air handling in all manner of buildings. Bringing the Emergency Department to state-of-the-art air quality standards is vitally important. As you well know, planning for life after COVID-19 subsides will require many changes.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Minnesota State HealthForce Center of Excellence Three of the top 10 most in-demand professions in Minnesota are Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Nursing Assistants. The vacancies in these career fields are stark, with the issue expected to worsen as demand for healthcare services increase, and healthcare workers exit the profession. The COVID-19 pandemic has placed incredible stress on the nursing workforce around the world, and Minnesota is no exception. The International Council of Nurses and the American Nurses Foundation report that nurses are retiring and leaving the workforce in greater numbers due to the stresses of the pandemic. Only 52% of registered nurses intending to leave the profession are doing so via retirement. Despite the heightened need for healthcare in the region due to long term effects of COVID-19, the nursing workforce is poised to be smaller, with the potential for ongoing burnout for overworked, understaffed, nursing professionals. According to MN DEED data, Minnesota is expected to have a deficit of almost 10,000 registered nurses and 4,000 licensed practical nurses by 2025. Minnesota healthcare employers are increasingly concerned about the nursing workforce. Rochester MN $3,250,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies ExercisAbilities The project aims to expand a physical rehabilitation program for survivors of spinal cord injury, stroke, developmental disabilities, and other chronic conditions, through acquisition of new capital equipment and necessary facility roof renovation required for some equipment, helping patients walk again with advanced health technology. It would serve children, adults and seniors in a non-profit community clinic located in Rochester. The project will address inequities in access to critical healthcare services, as these rehabilitation services in a community setting currently only exist outside Rochester, Olmsted County, and even Southern Minnesota. Such advanced treatment is typically reserved for patients at research hospitals or healthcare systems with large capital budgets and large donor networks. Outcomes will include paralysis survivors’ health and mobility improvements, greater independence, and less dependences on care providers thanks to effective treatment close to their homes.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies GRUAC The goal of the GRAUC Simulation Collaborative is to enhance, diversify, and expand Rochester area healthcare workforce by providing access to relevant, effective, and flexible simulation technology. Expanding simulation capacity ensures our regional colleges, universities, and healthcare institutions will educate providers for now and the future. In Southeast Minnesota, the current and future direct care provider shortage is critical, presently over 18,000 openings. These providers care for the growing diverse population in SE MN. Rochester is a destination for health and wellness, this community is experienced in bringing solutions to healthcare and diversity and equity challenges. In early 2020 the Greater Rochester Advocates for Universities and Colleges, GRAUC, met to discuss the limited availability for simulation resources for healthcare students and employees. Education partners confirmed that without more access to simulation space, it will be challenging for their programs to grow to the sizes needed to tackle the increasing demand for direct patient care professionals. Employer partners confirmed that without access to more simulation space it will be difficult for their current employees to receive much-needed ongoing training. Representatives from Olmsted Medical Center, WSU and Hawthorne outlined their challenges. Their narratives regarding the need for simulation technology follow. OMC: To assure a safe and reliable system that can help the patients achieve the best outcomes, the healthcare providers must be current, competent, and confident in their ability to deliver care. Assuring professional development and competency is a top priority as the healthcare environment continually changes. Critical thinking and decision-making skills coupled with the technical expertise are essential to meet the health needs in a constantly adapting environment. As new skills are required, nurses sharpen skills before caring for patients in an experiential learning environment. Access to a state-of-the-art simulation lab is paramount to ensure critical thinking, decision-making, competency for skills and professional development in the future. WSU: WSU-Rochester has admitted additional cohort of pre-licensure, undergraduate nursing students to the Rochester campus. WSU is doubling the number of pre-licensure nursing students on that campus from 50 to 100 admitted juniors annually for a total number of juniors and seniors to over 200 pre-license students. The program has unmet space needs due to changing rental space available to the program for skills training, lack of enough equipment and simulation space for education, lack of consistent and reliable access to key clinical areas for student training, and increased expectations of "pre-entry to the clinical site" education of our students by clinical partners. Simulation scenarios conducted will allow for expanded hands-on learning in a safe environment. Nursing students who take part in educational program involving simulation perform fewer healthcare errors in clinical settings and develop their critical thinking and clinical decision-making skills. Hawthorne: Each year,70+ adult learners in Hawthorne's Bridges to Careers program prepare for employment in the healthcare field. These diverse and low-income students have no access to simulation technology. Through the efforts of the Simulation Collaborative and the work of an Integrator, it is our goal that this deficiency will be lessened or eliminated. Bridges to Careers is a collaborative effort between Hawthorne, RCTC, Workforce Development, Inc., and area employers who are dedicated to a mission that meets the needs of Rochester Minnesota's diverse community and the employment market.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Dakota County Technical College (DCTC) The Minnesota State Commercial Driving Skills Center (CDSC) Project will address the severe shortage of commercial drivers in Minnesota by updating and enhancing the Minnesota State Commercial Driving Skills Center and Decision Driving Range at Dakota County Technical College (DCTC). In Dakota and Scott Counties, over 2100 jobs are currently posted for Heavy and Tractor-Trailer Truck Drivers. This is four times more than the next highest position posting. Over the next 5 years, opportunities in Commercial Truck Driving are anticipated to grow by an additional 2,783 jobs. Over 61,000 professionals will be needed to fill new demand, retirements and job changes. Drivers are needed across multiple sectors from manufacturing to online retail; without enough drivers, post-pandemic recovery of the state and region will be impaired. To address this need, DCTC needs to update and enhance our current driving labs. This includes replacing crumbling asphalt on the CDSC with a more durable concrete pad, adding additional trucks for Class A and B Commercial Driver’s License training, and resurfacing and repairing the Decision Driving Range (DDR). The DDR is a 2-8 mile track and wet skid pad used for both CDL training and safety training for more than 250 agencies, including police departments, paramedics, and state and local transportation departments. The updated labs will host the new Minnesota State Commercial Driver Training Academy, a public-private partnership the planning of which was recently funded by a Minnesota Job Skills Partnership (MJSP) Grant. This project would support economic recovery efforts in the region and make the Southeast corridor a leading area for transportation recruitment and training. Rosemount MN $2,175,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Minnesota Department of Health The cost of education and training to become a dentist or dental therapist is high; dental school is the most expensive graduate degree program in the Unites States. The National Center for Health Statistics reports that in 2019, 65.3% of Americans age 18 or older had a dental exam or cleaning within the previous 12 months. The global SARS-CoV2 pandemic has spotlighted oral health disparities and barriers to care. In the recently released State of Oral Health Equity in America 2021 Research Report #1 by the CareQuest Institute, an estimated 6 million American adults have lost their dental insurance because of a job loss or benefits change that was caused by COVID-19. 28 million American adults delayed getting dental care due to: cost of care, lack of insurance, and fear of contracting Covid-19. 46 million Americans (15% of total population) live in rural areas. Rural residents have higher rates of unhealthy behaviors, less access to health / dental care, may not have fluoridated drinking water, and have less access to healthy foods. These and other factors taken together result in poor dental health for individuals with low-incomes, especially if they live in an underserved area. To increase the availability and geographic proximity of dental professionals who supply care to people most in need, it is essential that the financial needs of those professionals be offset. Many dental professionals want to provide services to everyone who walks through their doors, however the “bottom line” is usually the decision maker. Academic debt burden is the single biggest driver of whether a given dentist or dental therapist can offer care delivery to all. By taking care of these professionals, the professionals will in turn take care of more Minnesotans who need it the most. This model is replicable nationally. Saint Paul MN $1,592,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies The Zero Abuse Project A significant and growing body of research documents the poor undergraduate and graduate training of child protection professionals and paraprofessionals. The United States Attorney General’s National Task Force on Children Exposed to Violence recommends the inclusion of “curricula in all university undergraduate and graduate programs to ensure that every child and family-serving professional receives training in multiple evidence-based methods for identifying and screening children for exposure to violence.” Child Advocacy Studies (CAST) is an interdisciplinary academic program for students entering the fields of criminal justice, social work, nursing, psychology, law, medical school, or seminary that teaches students the skills necessary to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team to identify and address situations involving child abuse and neglect. Early indications demonstrate that CAST graduates perform significantly better than their peers in identifying psychological and emotional abuse. Funding to further expand CAST and similar programs will ensure a more prepared workforce and have a significant impact on child welfare.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Ujamaa Place For over ten years, Ujamaa Place, a nonprofit organization in St. Paul, MN, has trained and prepared African American males ages 18-30, many of whom have been involved in the criminal justice system, including those who are currently on probation or parole, for a career path and gainful employment. Ujamaa’s main goal is to assist these men with career focused workforce training, maintaining their employment, and advancing within their careers. Currently, the unemployment rate for Black Minnesotans, especially young males, is highest of all groups at 9.5 percent. Ujamaa’s Workforce Training Program seeks to address this disparity by providing employment training and services that include in-demand employer partnerships and industries, plus Ujamaa’s wrap around services (housing, education, mental/chemical wellness, probation support, family relationships), as well as industry approved Workforce Assessments which determine the young men’s preparedness for gainful and sustainable employment. Ujamaa Place serves 350 men annually, but the need is much greater. Program participants do not pay for their services; however, program cost for an Ujamaa Man is approximately $7,000 per man per year of Ujamaa Place enrollment. This request for federal funding is to supplement Ujamaa’s current and future budget that will allow us to provide services to more men while growing the capacity of Ujamaa’s Workforce Training Program.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies International Institute of Minnesota The International Institute of Minnesota (“the Institute”) was founded in 1919 to address the unmet needs of immigrant families. The Institute has made “full membership in American life” accessible to immigrants and refugees and serving their changing needs. Clients regularly describe the Institute as their first “home” in the United States. In 2021, demand for Institute programs and services remains high despite a decline in immigration over the past four years. Many programs, including the Institute’s Medical Careers Pathway, operate a waiting list for eligible students. As we plan for more immigration and refugee resettlement as soon as FY2022, the only impediment to the Institute expanding its capacity ever more to bring motivated, hard-working New Americans into our community and workforce is a one-time investment of resources. For that reason, the Institute seeks general operating support to provide one-time investment to the Institute following the 2021 comprehensive renovation and expansion of its facility. This facility expansion provides the capacity to serve an additional 500 New Americans each year in its education and career pathway programs, but not the resources to fund the expanded program costs. The support will help the Institute keep its core programs and services strong while they invest in growing the program capacity of education and workforce programs. It will also expand the tax base and train workers in industries with critical workforce shortages, including healthcare and long-term care. Saint Paul MN $719,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Minnesota Department of Health Obstetric services are a core health care service, and rural communities are finding it increasingly challenging to offer them. Between 2003 and 2018, nine Minnesota counties have lost hospital birth services. Moreover, maternal morbidity, including complications in childbirth, has increased dramatically in the United States in the past decade. With these facts in mind, rural hospitals with obstetric services need more opportunities for providers to maintain their skills and improve the viability of keeping obstetric services open. In Cloquet, Minnesota, the Community Memorial Hospital Association has worked to acquire the necessary equiptment to provide opportunities for rural clinical teams to use advanced simulation training techniques to experience the range of normal to emergency obstetrics events and to practice skills needed to ensure a positive birth outcome for mothers and babies. This training program is located onsite and open to all interested rural providers. However, they now seek to create a mobile option and take the advanced simulation training on the road. Offering a mobile opportunity will bring the training to remotely located communities where travel or staffing limitations is a barrier to accessing a training over several days in Cloquet. A mobile training option also provides additional opportunities to attend the training when the Cloquet location is booked by another hospital team. There is a strong need for training in the pre-hospital to emergency room setting. A mobile unit would give the opportunity for additional providers such as emergency medical services (EMS), emergency room physicians and nurses to have access to a full offering of training or topic-specific workshops.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Minnesota Community Care Access to affordable care is imperative in supporting communities and leads to improved health outcomes. Health care delivery initiatives for children continue to be a challenge due to access barriers, compounded by the fact that as minors, and with few exceptions, children and youth are dependent upon adults to connect to primary health care services on their behalf, inclusive of mental health care. Barriers to access are affected by one's social determinants, often accruing over generations and cemented to disproportionately impact marginalized and historically oppressed populations. Improving health care access for uninsured and underinsured children requires systematic reform at the community level by establishing health resources targeting populations affected by social determinants. A known evidence-based intervention to improve health care access and health outcomes for children is through the implementation of school-based health centers (SBHC). Research evaluating SBHCs demonstrates that school-based initiatives support health outcomes in children regardless of their entwined social determinants. Positioned strategically where children spend most of their weekday hours, SBHCs interrupt social structural inequities like access barriers because of their unique location and affordability (no-cost, low-cost, or sliding-scale fees). Children, especially adolescents, are more likely to seek care in trusted, familiar settings. Research suggests that adolescents report greater satisfaction with care delivered at SBHCs compared to community or private clinics. Compared to community-based clinics and private clinics, SBHCs users are more likely to utilize preventative care and mental health care, have higher immunization rates, and fewer emergency department visits. School-based health centers contribute to socioeconomic development by bypassing larger social structural conditions that present barriers to care. Adolescents become more actively engaged in and knowledgeable about health and navigating care, improving their future socioeconomic future. To address childhood health care disparities, health system policy change must focus on SBHC expansion to improve community health. Saint Paul MN $600,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Elpis Enterprises Elpis Enterprises, a not-for-profit organization, is one of only a few career pathway building programs in the metro Twin Cities area designed to meet the unique needs of young people experiencing homelessness or unstable housing. Of trainees participating in our program, each year 80% to 95% identify as Black, Indigenous, or people of color (BIPOC). We operate social enterprises to provide a paid work experience, as trainees build skills, experiences, and connections needed to enter the workforce and launch a career pathway leading to family sustaining wages. Funds are requested to purchase a van that will replace our 20 year old van. The van fosters efficiency in the operations of our social enterprises and assists us in transporting our trainees to events in the community. During COVID 19, the van allowed us to pick up and drop off trainees who were hesitant to use public transportation. See Description of Proposal response. On any given night in the metro Twin Cities, there are an estimated 875 young people (24 years of age or younger) on their own who are experiencing homelessness. This does not include those who are in households with their parents (Source: Wilder Research 2018 Homeless Fact Sheet). Young people experiencing homelessness and unstable housing have limited opportunities to enter the workforce and build a career pathway leading to family-sustaining wages and benefits due to structural and systemic barriers. These barriers include: -Access to Workforce Development Programs: Among young people experiencing homelessness, only 28% report receiving employment assistance despite only 42% of adults experiencing homelessness are employed with most working part-time. (Source: Wilder Research, 2015, pgs. 20-23). -Cultural Bias: While showing grit and resilience, the skills used to survive homelessness (e.g., being focused on today, not trusting others) are often seen as ‘unreliable’ by others. Additionally, while recognizing the challenges faced by young people experiencing homelessness, many employers do not see themselves as having resources or expertise to support them and are hesitant to ‘take a chance’. -Racism: According to the Metropolitan Council, disparities in unemployment between BIPOC individuals in the metro Twin Cities and whites have grown since COVID 19 began. People of color (especially young people) are often employed in leisure, hospitality, and foodservice with many projecting that job recovery in these sectors may take longer. Also impacting job recovery is increased automation in warehouses that is altering the job descriptions of some traditional entry-level warehouse positions. -Privilege and Connections: Young people experiencing homelessness lack connections (e.g., school and family) that offer career exploration opportunities or connections that can help obtain that first job. This has also contributed to young people experiencing homelessness and unstable housing having limited awareness of the diverse careers that build on their unique interests and talents. The LEAP project in the Twin Cities (coordinated by Project for Pride in Living) estimates that the percentage of youth disconnected from school and employment has increased from 7% to 17% due to the pandemic. Addressing Barriers: Elpis Enterprises program design is intentional in addressing the barriers that young people experiencing homelessness face in launching a career pathway.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies St. Francis Regional Medical Center St. Francis Emergency Department Renovation and Expansion Project is a multi-year project making essential upgrades and modernizations that will enable the Emergency Department to better meet the changing needs of the community. St. Francis Regional Medical Center was last remodeled twenty years ago and since then we have seen our patient volumes nearly double. Through the majority of the pandemic, the entire project was put on hold. In late 2020, the project was reviewed and a new Phase 1A was planned to address the most pressing need to increase capacity for providing mental health emergency care. Currently, St. Francis Regional Medical Center’s Emergency Department has two mental health rooms, which is insufficient for meeting the increasing need for mental health emergency care. Under Phase 1A, four dedicated mental health rooms, and two swing rooms that can be used for mental health will be added in the Emergency Department. The total cost of Phase 1A is $6 million and is being partially funded by a $1 million donation from Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community. St. Francis Regional Medical Center is conducting a $5 million Capital Campaign in an effort to secure the remaining funds. Shakopee MN $1,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies AgCentric The Minnesota State Northern Agricultural Center of Excellence (AgCentric) is an educational leader in connecting industry and education to meet the regions’ needs. AgCentric is housed at Central Lakes College and is one of eight Centers within Minnesota State. According to needs studies, the Meat Cutting & Butchery program is vital for ensuring a more diverse network of meat cutters and local outlets for processing. The hands-on and entrepreneurial program design, short-term format and business ownership orientation will make sure that the program serves as a driver for economic growth within the District. While the meat processing “bottleneck” has long been recognized as a regional issue, the pandemic exacerbated the issue and clearly demonstrated both the negative economic impact and risk that the bottleneck poses to the industry and the region. The farmers experienced financial losses when animals could not be slaughtered in a timely manner, and in some cases were required to be desiccated all together. Furthermore, Central Lakes College has the capacity to launch these programs within their existing menu of related coursework and degree offerings. Central Lakes has the capacity to allocate space for the proposed renovation without adding more buildings to their inventory. Their geographic locations provide outstanding opportunities for partnership and wide coverage of the District to meet the common objective of economic growth. AgCentric has engaged multiple industry partners to ascertain the initial confirmation of need and the interest to support both the program at the college level and the mobile slaughter unit.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Valley Friendship Club Valley Friendship Club is a non-profit organization that provides kids, teens, and adults social and educational opportunities. This summer, our older teens and adult members have been invited to work at an outdoor coffee cart called, Traintrax and owned by the Zephyr Theatre. This is an amazing opportunity for our members to learn job skills, gain confidence in working with others, and to be a part of the community. Traintrax is a converted open-air train car that is located along the Gateway - Brown's Creek State (Bike) Trail in Stillwater, MN. This is a great location with lots of potential to interact with the community. This is an opportunity to employee 10-15 people with disabilities this summer. It will also be a good start to bridge the employment gap for people living with disabilities. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, in 2020 only 17.9% of people with disabilities were employed in the United States down from 19.3% employed in 2019. COVID has been exponentially difficult on those with disabilities, loss of jobs and socialization, this opportunity would hit both marks. Stillwater MN $3,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Appetite For Change, Inc Food is a human right. Actualizing that sentiment is a perennial human challenge fraught with complexity and based on systems and practices that damage the environment, exploit people of color, and concentrate power in the hands of a few. Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color have been harmed and continue to pay a profound toll in service to a food system that privileges efficiency, productivity, profitability, and convenience. The cost of a food system based on these principles manifests in numerous racial inequities, from higher rates of diet-related chronic disease; disproportionate impact of agricultural-related environmental problems; lack of reliable access to safe, affordable, healthy food; and no real say, influence, or meaningful resources in the current food system. Research shows that nationally, more than half of local produce sales were farms selling directly through intermediated marketing channels such as grocery and restaurants (Low and Vogel, USDA-Economic Research Service, 2011). More common direct to consumer marketing channels for local foods (community supported agriculture shares, farmers markets) are often too expensive for low-income families to purchase, with average price of CSA share ranging from $400 - 700 (“Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Resource Guide for Farmers.” NC State Extension, 2014, growingsmallfarms.ces.ncsu.edu/growingsmallfarms-csaguide.). The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted cracks in many of the systems the public has taken for granted as impervious to disruption, arguably most notably the food system. Marginalized populations have always seen and felt these cracks and this situation offers an opportunity to focus on strategies to mend them to equitably serve all communities. Especially for those from underserved backgrounds, lack of time, lack of transportation, access to affordable foods, and cooking/food skills may make low-cost, calorie dense, low-nutrient foods appealing and lead to increase consumption of food with less healthy nutrient profiles such as pre-packaged processed meals and away-from-home meals. Because research has linked these barriers to poor dietary and health outcomes (“Time Spent on Home Food Preparation and Indicators of Healthy Eating.” Am. J. Prev. Med , vol. 47, 2014, pp. 796–802.) working to increase food access and skills to prepare home-cooked meals within the constraints of busy at-risk families is a vital way to address this important social determinant of health. The average yearly family income for small and midsized farmers is under $20,000, and new sustainable markets are desperately needed. The food service environment during the COVID-19 pandemic has left an unknown future for small and midsized farmers to re engage those markets, thus small farmers and food hubs are looking for alternative outlets for potential crop overages. This program offers a steady market for locally grown produce from small and midsized farmers who don’t traditionally sell to larger food distributors. Partner organization, The Good Acre, emphasizes engagement with local farmer who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), activating an important market that can incentivize more growers of color to scale up their farming operations.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Hiawatha Valley Mental Health Center Hiawatha Valley Mental Health Center is working through the process to become a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) with the goal of becoming Minnesota State Certified in early 2022. As a CCBHC, we will be able to increase access to community based mental health and substance use disorder services (particularly to under-served communities) and advance integration of behavioral health with physical health care. Integrated care requires our organization to have established collaborative relationships with other providers and health care systems to ensure care coordination for consumers utilizing services at Hiawatha Valley Mental Health Center. In order to provide quality care coordination, we need to construct a portion of our Winona Clinic into six group rooms for coordinated care meetings. The rooms will allow anywhere from six to 16 individuals to meet and together improve communication between behavioral health and primary care which will result in overall improvement in the consumer’s outcomes and satisfaction. Beyond space needs for CCBHC use, Hiawatha Valley Mental Health Center also is in need of additional space to grow and expand group treatment services for those who need a supportive group treatment setting to help in recovery from substance use and abuse. Even though the care coordination rooms will be within our Winona Clinic, each space will allow for the consumer and their care team to connect with team members throughout the region using telehealth. Currently, Hiawatha Valley Mental Health Center only has one space where large group meetings can take place. The enhanced utilization of telehealth within this new space will improve our ability to coordinator care and engage all of those involved with a consumer’s overall health.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Carlton County County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 61 is a major collector that connects the Cities of Cloquet/Scanlon, the Village of Esko and Interstate 35. CSAH 61 was once State Highway 61 and the only major roadway to connect these communities. In 1974, the Minnesota Department of Transportation turned back State Highway 61 to Carlton County and the roadway was named CSAH 61. The roadway consists of a separated 4-lane roadway which carries an estimated 2800 vehicles per day. The current pavement is in need of repair and the structures under the roadway are failing. When Carlton County began making plans to reconstruct CSAH 61 the communities of Esko and Thomson Township reached out and requested an additional recreational trail along CSAH 61. Due to the amount of traffic the roadway carries and the feedback from the community, it has been determined that it would be most cost effective for future maintenance and safety implementations to turn the roadway into a two-lane roadway and repurpose two of the existing road lanes as a recreational trail. The County plans to reconstruct two of the current traffic lanes into the roadway and in collaboration with Thomson Township repurpose the other two lanes for recreational use. The project will consist of restructuring the roadway to a two-lane roadway, replacing all of the failing structures, constructing a recreational trail, and adding the following safety measures: paved shoulders, shoulder rumble strip with 6" wet reflective edge lines, centerline rumble strip, and we would be adding crosswalks, Rapid Flashing Beacons, and radar controlled speed signs around the Esko School.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Fergus Falls Architect Bill Hickey with Collaborative Design Group reported in January 2021 that an ongoing Regional Treatment Center (RTC) Reuse Master Plan study commissioned by the City of Fergus Falls reached two major conclusions. First, while affected by lack of occupancy, age, and deferred maintenance, the Kirkbride is structurally sound. Second, based on analysis of reuse options suggested by the community and recommended by the RTC Reuse Master Plan Advisory Committee, the most viable option is to redevelop and retrofit the Kirkbride’s east and west wings as housing for a mix of market segments, including market rate, affordable, low-income, Senior, Veteran, and supported housing. The analysis of options found that uses most suitable for the central tower complex would include ancillary and supportive functions that could be identified once housing redevelopment had been implemented. Mr. Hickey’s finding on the structural integrity of the Kirkbride was supported by a room-by-room survey and assessment that was conducted by his firm in November 2020. He reported that attributes of the building’s construction include a robust and sound composite structural system of masonry, steel, wood, and clay tile. The structural system contributes to the building’s mass, positive thermal inertia, and acoustic qualities and would make renovation and repair comparatively easy. He also reported that a number of Kirkbride features remain intact including extensive and attractive tile work, access to sunlight, and views. Therefore the proposed use of federal funds would encompass the following in order to spur development of housing and associated reuse: Site Costs – Walks, drives, landscaping, visitor parking Parking – 3 units, 2 level structured for residents Building Infrastructure – Mechanical and electrical systems, elevators, life safety systems Building Envelope – Roofs, masonry walls windows, doors Building Interior – general repair and upgrades, restoration of key features, new life safety items Tower Building – historic restoration Soft Costs – Permits, testing, design fees Fergus Falls MN $39,625,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Fergus Falls The City of Fergus Falls has spent significant time and money focusing on the development of the Riverfront in the downtown area. The Otter Tail River runs right through the heart of downtown Fergus Falls and has been an underutilized asset for many decades. The City is currently creating a public riverfront park, which includes a river market structure, splash pad, riverfront balcony and expanded river walk trail connections. The City and Port Authority have also acquired and have cleaned up the former Mid-American Dairy plant that is located directly on the river just west of downtown. This plant had not been in operation for nearly 20 years and the site was laden with environmental concerns. The blight has been removed with the building being demolished and the environmental concerns being abated and redevelopment opportunities are being explored. In partnership with the State of Minnesota, Fergus Falls is keeping the 11 acre riverfront parcel to serve as a perpetual recreational and environmentally protected area, while the remainder of the 28 acre parcel of the former plant will be redeveloped. The City is looking to connect this new recreational site and redevelopment project with the downtown improvements through the buildout of a trail system. We are looking to construct a trail from Union Ave, where our existing riverfront project ends, through the former dairy site along the river, through the Otter Tail County Historical Society and terminating on the M-State Fergus Falls Campus. This trail connection will provide connectivity to the downtown and the college, providing new opportunities for college students to more easily access services downtown and to more safely navigate the areas around the campus. This entire trail segment is part of the Glacial Edge Trail, which has been named a regionally significant trail in Minnesota by the Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission. This entire trail system has been mapped through a master planning process that involved significant public engagement. Otter Tail County has partnered with the City to further extend the Glacial Edge Trail and once fully built out, it would connect to Maplewood State Park and throughout the entire county.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Hennepin County Hennepin County bears a disproportionate burden in responding to the crisis of unsheltered homelessness throughout the Metro Region of Minnesota. Like many urban areas, we have experienced a rapid rise in encampments. Unlike most areas, the winter presents unique challenges to providing shelter and connection to services through several months of the year. Exposure is a fast lane to death in this part of the country. In 2019, Hennepin County set out a new vision of lowering barriers, improving outcomes and increasing capacity within the single adult shelter system. Specific recommendations were created in partnership with the non-profits that operate shelters and people with lived experience of homelessness. In particular, the advocacy group, Street Voices of Change, influenced and shaped the recommendations. One of the key recommendations was to establish a small-scale, service rich, housing focused shelter that exclusively serves people experiencing homelessness who identify as female. Hennepin County and Salvation Army committed operational funding totaling $1.2 million per year. This allowed the shelter to open at an interim location in the winter of 2020, operating in accordance with CDC guidance and best practices including operating on a 24-hour basis daily. All partners have been committed to identifying and securing a permanent site so that this vital service is available year-round to people experiencing homelessness.

This Project is in a rural area near the municipalities of International Falls and Ranier in Northern Minnesota, along the Canadian border. In direct support of the ROUTES initiative, the Project will improve safety and road conditions of rural transportation networks. The Project was developed through collaboration with local, county, and state officials, locally impacted businesses and residential communities[DR1] , U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Wisconsin Central Limited (WCL), a subsidiary of Canadian National Railway Company (Hereafter referred to as “CN” or “CN Railway”). The Project is the construction of the CSAH 24 Overpass across the rail corridor.The Project provides improved public safety and accessibility and will support the continued regional economic viability of this rural community located at a major international port of entry. The total cost of the project is $7.0 Million. The county is seeking $2.0 Million in federal funding, has already secured $3.0 Million in State Bonding, with the county contributing approximately $1.75 Million in local and State Aid funds, and an additional $250,000 funding contribution from CN Railway. Although a local funding match is not required, the county is committed to this large infrastructure project and will provide a 25 percent local funding and State Aid funds. This large funding commitment from a small rural county reflects the importance of this necessary investment in the community. Construction of the CSAH 24 Overpass will result in: Increased economic competitiveness and community viability due to improved freight movement efficiency Improved public safety by eliminating interaction between rail and personal vehicles, Enhanced quality of life for residents by eliminating daily delays resulting from trains blocking the crossing International Falls MN $2,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Western Mesabi Mine Planning Board U.S. Highway 169, known as the Cross Range Expressway, is the primary freight and passenger highway connection between Grand Rapids, Hibbing, and Virginia. This seventy mile distance was completed to a four lane divided highway between the 1960s and 1994, except for approximately 9.5 miles between Coleraine and Pengilly which was left as two lane undivided highway. Four miles were completed more recently, still leaving 8.4 miles of undivided two lane highway sandwiched between four lane divided highway both east and west of the unfinished section. The remaining undivided segment has grade, curve/visibility, shoulder and other constraints that result in traffic safety issues and is a potential economic constraint, choking both freight and passenger vehicles as traffic flows between the otherwise continuous four-lane divided highway of the Cross Range Expressway.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Karlstad, MN The City of Karlstad, MN is in need of funding for a proposed improvement project for the Karlstad Municipal Airport to expand aviation capabilities in order to support current recreational and business users in the area and to stimulate economic development and support future growth in the region. The existing airport includes a 2,606’ turf runway constructed in 1953 that does not meet modern needs due to characteristics that restrict its use. These characteristics include the runway being too short for all but the lightest aircraft, its chronically wet condition rendering it unusable much of the year, and its obstruction by highways, powerlines and nearby towers. Highway 11 runs immediately south of the airport and there is no public fuel or public hangar space, which adds to the current limitations of the existing airport. The proposed project would relocate the airport to a more functional and suitable location to provide the necessary foundation for future growth and expansion capabilities, bringing additional funding opportunities to the airport and new economic prospects to the local economy and its stakeholders.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Regents of the University of Minnesota Transportation network access, which measures how easily people can reach important destinations such as work, education, and healthcare, is widely acknowledged to be a critical indicator of transportation system performance and a key element of planning efficient and sustainable transportation systems. Directives to measure access are increasingly common at the regional and state levels, and have been included in major legislative proposals at the federal level. However, state and local transportation agencies often lack the resources or expertise to develop in-house tools for measuring access, and a fragmented approach to addressing this need reduces transparency and prevents the comparison of access data across projects and regions.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Bois Forte Band of Chippewa A transit facility will protect our fleet from the elements and provide shelter against extreme weather events and other natural disasters. Hail, straight winds and extreme cold are regular events in our region. Big Woods Transit buses and staff are an integral part of our Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Emergency Preparedness plans for the Tribe and for the two counties in which we are located; St. Louis & Koochiching. At an emergency preparedness planning meeting we were advised that with current climate change trends, we could anticipate our region being included in the tornado range within 5-8 years. During the winter months, salt on the highways has caused numerous repairs and extra maintenance to be ordered for the buses as wire harnesses, electrical systems, battery boxes, air conditioning intake, bottom steps, etc. have had to be replaced, sometimes several times. Bus wash bays do not exist in the region, even within a 60 mile range, and so the buses are not washed other than a garden hose spray during the summer months. There are three primary non-contiguous geographic sectors of the Reservation. In addition to being one of the only Reservations who are geographically divided, this northern Minnesota area is rural and extremely isolated. This creates a unique logistic environment. The travel time to neighboring communities, medical facilities or jobs training is one hour or more in any direction, depending on weather conditions which can be severe during Minnesota winters. Community programs are increasing their demand for transportation, for example; New Moon Supportive Housing, Elders, Veterans, Assisted Living for Elders and handicapped or disabled persons, etc. The operation of an effective tribal transit program is a priority. As we are a public transit program, the buses will provide many services to our regional communities, both Native and non-Native. The transit program provides linkages to essential community services, such as health care and education. It also functions as a mechanism for self-sufficiency by providing access to jobs, which are primarily beyond the Reservation boundaries. The benefit of caring for vehicles and keeping them in a state of good repair in the northern Minnesota severe weather fluctuations will extend the lifetime of the vehicles, reducing the amount of repairs and maintenance work while extending the length of time between replacements.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Olmsted County For several years, Olmsted County has led efforts on a proposed interchange at County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 44 (formerly County Road 104) and Trunk Highway (TH) 14, including an associated flyover structure at 7th Street NW. The intersection is located on the west side of Rochester and has significant safety concerns. A skewed geometric angle, a 65-mph speed limit on TH 14, and high traffic volumes on both the trunk highway and county highway, are contributing factors to approximately twelve crashes each year. This past summer, a former Olmsted County commissioner lost his life in a crash at the intersection. The proposed interchange, and associated 7th Street flyover, will remove two at-grade intersections. Sixty-four conflict points that drivers must navigate when turning, crossing, or traveling on the roadways will be eliminated. Safety will improve. Additionally, the interchange will provide increased mobility and support growth and economic development. The recently completed TH 14 Corridor Analysis Project from Rochester to Kasson identified construction of an interchange at the CSAH 44 intersection as an immediate, short-term (5 year) improvement.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Oslo Region Joint Powers Board The Red River of the North, bordering MN and ND, is extremely susceptible to spring and summer flooding events, overtopping roads and rail transportation and inundating farmland. This disrupts traffic by closing I-29 and all highway access through Oslo, MN on MN Hwy 1, and to ND Hwy 54, a trunk highway connecting northern Minnesota to I-29, as well as rail commerce delivering agricultural products to market. In the last 25 years, there have been 13 major flood events. The city of Oslo and farmyards are typically without access for up to 6 weeks when this happens. The project is a well-studied and publicly accepted solution to mitigate the frequency and intensity of flooding. Removing blockages in the river channel, including the two bridges that do not accommodate current flow rates, and replacing them with appropriately sized bridges allows the Red River to flow within its natural channel rather than overflow its banks. Additional protective levees and removal of 40 blockages in the river channel which produce significant reduction in flood occurrences and duration, as shown by recent modeling research by Houston Engineering. See Oslo Area Hydraulic Study-Phase 2. Because of the many entities concerned, this project requires bi-state cooperation, including watershed districts, highway departments and DNR agencies. It should be stated that the water flooding the Oslo region is not local run-off, but the result of the entire Red River from the southern end of Minnesota that drains an area of 20,000,000 acres with a population of 631,000 people, including the upstream communities of Fargo, ND/Moorhead, MN and Grand Forks, ND/East Grand Forks, MN. The fact that the bridges and land features at the Oslo area cause a pinch point in the river flow has been a problem for decades, amplified by increased waterflows, that cannot be handled merely with the local population. The Oslo Region Joint Powers Board (ORJPB) applying for the funds is a governing body representing border townships established for the purpose of reducing the flooding occurrences by coordinating efforts of all affected agencies in the Oslo area.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Otter Tail County, MN Fir Avenue (CSAH 1) is the primary east-west route through northern Fergus Falls. Due to railroad, lake and river issues east-west routes through the City are very limited. In 2019, CSAH 1 in the City of Fergus Falls was rerouted on to Tower Road and Fir Avenue to remove it from the downtown area of Fergus Falls. The rerouting of CSAH 1 increased traffic on Fir Avenue (CSAH 1) and has increased delays at the three intersections proposed for the placement of the roundabouts. The project will improve traffic flow and safety across northern Fergus Falls and on CSAH 1 through Fergus Falls and specifically through the three intersections. It will also improve access to local residents and business throughout the corridor. Otter Tail County MN $6,545,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Otter Tail County For the past 25 years lakes in Otter Tail County have been rising. Some lakes, such as Nelson Lake, do not have a natural outlet and flooding becomes a problem for roads and property owners. CSAH 6 is a bituminous paved local farm to market route that sees about 540 vehicles per day on average. The road is used by the Postal Service, school buses, emergency vehicles, farmers, local residents, tourist and the motoring public in general. CSAH 6 runs through Nelson Lake and was built when the water was much lower than it currently is. The road has been through the lake since at least 1912, well over 100 years. The water level of Nelson Lake is currently at around 1461.5 feet. Water has been on and off the road for the past few years, it has saturated the roadbed and soften the subgrade. Wave action continually washes away at the road’s shoulders. A couple years ago about one foot of aggregate base material was placed on the road through the lowest area to keep the road surface above the water. There has been at least one case where someone went off the road and into the lake due to the poor condition of the road through the lake. The road is currently closed to traffic, which is causing major inconvenience to local residents and those traveling through the area. The runout elevation of Nelson Lake is just slightly above 1469 feet, so the water will need to rise another 7.5 feet before the water will eventually run out of the lake naturally. The road will need to be raised approximately 12.5 feet to ensure it will not flood again and to maintain a sturdy road base in the lake. Otter Tail County MN $2,759,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Tracy, MN The City of Tracy, MN needs funding for safety related improvements to Runway 11/29’s Runway Safety Area (RSA). The RSA is a margin of safety around the paved surface of the runway that is 150 feet wide and extends 300 feet beyond each runway end, required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which is expected to be smooth, level, and free of obstacles in case of a runway overshoot, undershoot, or runway excursion. A stream and its associated small ravine run to the south of Runway 29’s threshold, compromising this surface due to the sharp drop in elevation. This safety issue was magnified by the July 3, 2018 flood, also known as FEMA Disaster DR-4390, in which the City of Tracy received over 10 inches of water in 3.5 hours, flooding the entire community and further washing out the streambed and ravine.

Senator Warren MA Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Hampden County Sheriff’s Office The Sheriff’s office has received intelligence in the past regarding contraband cellular devices and has confiscated cellular device accessories as a result. However, the Sheriff’s office is unaware of the scope of their problem because they do not currently have the means by which to detect and/or identify contraband cellular devices. Installing a MAS solution will help ensure they understand the risk at each of their facilities and can mitigate it. This will help ensure a safe and secure environment for staff and inmates, as well as the general public. Essentially, a MAS allows calls from approved phone numbers while preventing unauthorized phones from making or receiving calls. A MAS utilizes cellular base stations and a distributive antenna system(s) to legally detect, intercept, and re-route wireless communications in a secure facility. MAS is essential because, unlike "jamming systems," they have the sophistication to detect and neutralize illegal wireless activity without interrupting 911 calls or other authorized communications inside prisons. MAS also does not cause any degradation in service to commercial wireless networks outside of the prison boundary that often occurs with jamming systems. Ludlow MA $1,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Anna Maria College Anna Maria College is in a unique position to address the burgeoning mental health crisis in Emergency Medical Services (EMS), both within and outside of the profession. The College already educates both EMTs and Paramedics. EMS is increasingly called upon to serve and treat patients in acute emotional and psychological distress. However, the current national curriculum does not adequately address the demands these patients place on providers. Additionally, research shows that on a daily basis, law enforcement, EMTs, nurses and firefighters face more than 10% of their calls involving someone with a mental illness. The complicated and emotional nature of these calls have resulted in increased levels of emotional and mental health disruptions in these professions. The goal of this project is to increase the number of instructors in MHFA across all public safety sectors: law enforcement, fire science, paramedic medicine, corrections, etc. This project would establish a permanent Institute that will ultimately serve the entire spectrum of public safety professionals and civilians throughout Massachusetts, to adequately and appropriately respond to individuals with mental illness. In addition, it will provide the resources needed to integrate Mental Health First Aid Training across our curriculum to ensure that every student graduates with MHFA certification upon entering the workforce.

Senator Warren MA Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Town of Saugus There is a distinct need for a renovated vital communication system for first responders in the Town of Saugus. The current Town of Saugus Police and Fire Department radio communication systems are configured with transmitter and receiver devices located throughout the town in various locations to provide coverage for the portable and mobile radios to operate effectively. These complex, vital, mission-critical systems require connectivity between the multiple devices and their remote locations back to the headquarters dispatch and control equipment. The current method of connectivity is leased copper circuits provided by Verizon. These antiquated copper circuits are prone to regular failure and are increasingly unreliable. These failures result in faulty radio communication, impeding police and fire units in the field. Verizon no longer supports these copper circuits, meaning the Town relies on a vendor service contract. Finding parts to make the repairs is continuously growing more difficult as the obsolete infrastructure deteriorates. The Town must choose another method of connectivity to support the public safety communication systems. Saugus MA $1,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Springfield Museums Corporation The Springfield Museums is requesting funds to support the upgrade and installation of immersive exhibits and technology improvements in FY22, that will strengthen the Springfield Science Museum’s role as principal STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) learning center for Western Massachusetts. This request amplifies our mission by modernizing and connecting signature museum assets within our Astronomy Hall in order to make the wonders of the night sky accessible to learners and enthusiasts near and far. We propose the following upgrades: Seymour Planetarium: In continual operation since its opening in 1939, the planetarium houses the oldest known star projector in the world, and the oldest American-made star projector in existence. The centerpiece of our astronomy program, we regularly offer fully-live, interactive shows presented by one of our knowledgeable and seasoned presenters. We plan to optimize planetarium operations by installing a new digital full dome projection system with state of the art software. Rooftop Observatory: Added to the Science Museum in 1972, our 20-inch reflecting telescope was hand-built by local volunteers from the Springfield Stars Club. The observatory’s small space limits visitor capacity and there is no elevator access to the observatory for visitors with limited mobility. Through technological upgrades, we propose to create remote access to the observatory and related educational public programs, making them available as astronomy programs in our Planetarium Theater, in our International Space Station Gallery and Astronomy Hall, and on our website. By providing an inclusive opportunity to experience astronomy that can be experienced onsite or at home, it is our hope that more diverse members of our community and beyond will join our community stargazing nights. Tactile Exhibit: In partnership with the National Federation for the Blind, the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind, Tactile Images and the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the Science Museum proposes to add multiple 3D tactile exhibits presenting a high impact opportunity to interpret Astronomy Hall for our blind and low-vision visitors, visitors with disabilities and neuro-diverse learners.

Senator Warren MA Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Worcester State University Increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the sciences is a challenge. WSU feeder schools are diverse but the students often face challenges (underprepared, time commitment, math placement scores) that inhibit a career in science. Here we propose to build a sustainable model to lower these obstacles and recruit/retain underrepresented STEM undergraduates from our diverse community. Our program will provide incoming students a transformative summer experience on regional climate change that includes that integrates lab, field, computational education and research. Students will be enrolled in a newly developed climate minor retaining student involvement in climate science while at WSU. To substantially increase DEI in the sciences, we must work to lower barriers and shift the culture. Here we propose a 6-week summer research experience for 20 students for two years. Students completing the program will (1) earn 3 science credits (tuition free), (2) develop basic and essential lab, computational, and field skills, (3) ensure adequate Math Placement scores for entry into STEM majors by integrating applied math and providing math tutors, (4) provide a pathway to work in modern labs on cutting-edge climate science as a climatology minor, and (5) help advance regional climate science. Funds will be used to develop a cross discipline ecology-environmental science lab and computational climate lab dedicated to undergraduate student learning and climate science research strengthening the research and educational integration. Existing STEM summer programs at the university has revealed food security and transportation to campus to be additional obstacles for lower income perspective students. To overcome such student barriers, this project includes a residential component where food and housing will be offset. Students stipends will allow students hiatus from employment; stipends will help offset costs for computational tools necessary to enter in a science degree. Worcester MA $1,677,000 Website Letter

Senator Warren MA Homeland Security Town of Provincetown This project will help alleviate a hazardous and property damaging condition. During rain events, surface storm water collects at Court Street and floods the local businesses. The flooding also blocks vehicular and pedestrian passage to both residences and businesses. This flooding has been a long standing condition, which has become worse with increased development in the area. This flooding condition damages property and business operations. It also creates a hazard, as vehicles often become stuck in the flood water, and pedestrians try to climb over uneven terrain to pass around the flood water. The condition cannot be alleviated by normal storm water drainage treatments, such as catch basins, due to the topography and high water table. A more sophisticated design and construction project is necessary, and will include a pump station and water retention area. Town of Provincetown MA $3,500,000 Website Letter

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Bridgewater State University This funding would be used by Bridgewater State University (BSU) to upgrade and renew educational and scientific equipment, in order to maintain BSU’s high standards of STEM education. It is necessary to refresh and update scientific equipment in the Bartlett College of Science and Mathematics (BCoSM), which is housed in the Dana Mohler-Faria Science and Mathematics Center (DMF). STEM laboratory equipment has an average useful lifespan between five and eight years, so items purchased when the DMF was constructed (~10 years ago) are reaching the ends of their lives. BSU has successfully addressed equipment failures as they have occurred; however, due to tight budget constraints, critical items have often been repaired rather than replaced. BSU is now at a critical juncture, where important equipment has aged and become less relevant in the modern workplace. Many instruments purchased when the DMF was constructed are expected to break down and should not (or cannot) be repaired because they are obsolete. Bridgewater MA $1,418,000 Website Letter

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies UMass Memorial Health This funding would be used by Umass Memorial Health (UMMH) Harrington to support UMMH’s commitment to modernize Harrington’s electronic health records (EHR) system to better serve its patients. Pursuant to the merger agreement between UMMH and Harrington, UMMH has committed close to $100 million in total capital investment in Harrington, including an estimated $45 million to upgrade its outdated EHR system to the state-of-the-art Epic EHR system.UMMH has employed Epic to improve patient communication, enable virtual care and telehealth, improve efficiency, and track and analyze demographic and geographic health data to address health disparities (especially integral to UMMH’s COVID response). Transitioning Harrington to Epic will fully integrate it into a safety net health system and enable some of the Commonwealth’s most vulnerable patients to benefit from features that improve health outcomes and community health.

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies The Mercy Hospital, Inc. DBA Mercy Medical Center This funding would be used by Mercy Medical Center to establish a sustainable workflow for community health workers to integrate clinical and social care, and to expand the capacity of community- based organizations to take referrals and support those in need. Mercy Medical Center also plans to engage, train, and support residents to advocate for food policy changes that increase access to healthy foods. Springfield, Hampden County’s largest city, is a vibrant, diverse community with people of color accounting for the majority (67%) of the city’s population. Springfield residents experience numerous socioeconomic challenges that can impact health, especially in the Mason Square, North End, South End and Downtown/Metro Central neighborhoods. The median family income in Springfield is less than half the statewide median income, and 30% of the city’s population lives below the Federal Poverty Line. The pandemic is intensifying economic challenges. The March 2020 unemployment rate was 3.4%, and by June the rate had jumped 17.4%. While employment is rebounding slowly, the unemployment rate for October was 7.2% (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). As a result, more families are struggling to access stable housing, transportation, and necessities. The inequities in the region have consequences, with Springfield residents experiencing one of the highest premature mortality rates in Massachusetts (441.0 vs. the statewide rate of 282.2 per 100,000). Thousands of Springfield residents are facing a food crisis because they cannot afford and/or do not have access to affordable and nutritious food. In Springfield, 37% of the population is obese. In the Mason Square community of Springfield, 9% of households experienced moderate to severe hunger and 19% were food insecure. Aside from food insecurity being such a prominent issue, the Community Health Needs Assessment conducted in 2019 identified other significant health needs within the Mercy Medical Center community.

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Baystate Medical Center, Inc. This proposal seeks funding for Baystate Brightwood Health Center (BBHC) to enhance its telehealth capacity to address community needs. The capacity of BBHC clinical staff and patients to fully embrace and use telehealth is limited, and the digital divide is a well-known phenomenon in under-resourced communities. The enhancements will remove many of these barriers and create an environment that makes technology familiar, straightforward, and an expected part of care. The enhancements will also improve BBHC’s patient population’s ability to address several social determinants of health by providing enhanced knowledge and access to services via the internet.

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Baystate Medical Center, Inc This proposal seeks funding for Baystate Brightwood Health Center (BBHC) to address a community need for dedicated Office Based Addiction Treatment (OBAT) by renovating and repurposing space to create a private, dedicated OBAT Clinic. BBHC is committed to addressing the opiate crisis through a vigorous treatment program. However, given space constraints, the OBAT program is currently conducted adjacent to the waiting area, which is less than ideal for both OBAT patients and non-OBAT patients, including families and children in the waiting area. The proposed renovation will provide appropriate privacy and enhance our ability to provide excellent Opioid Use Disorder treatment. Springfield MA $375,000 Website Letter

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Community Care Cooperative, Inc. This funding would be used by Community Care Cooperative for their proposal to purchase EPIC, a top rated electronic health record (EHR) and population health system for Massachusetts health centers. The purpose is to strengthen primary care, improve financial performance, and advance racial justice. Beyond its value in primary care, Epic is a highly rated population health system. Today, all Massachusetts health centers take responsibility for the quality and cost of care of a population. However, they work in inferior system or use two systems to do this work, which means missed opportunities to improve community health and greater administrative burden for primary care teams. statewide MA $12,409,000 Website Letter

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies National Braille Press This funding would be used by National Braille Press for a proposal to develop resource kits for Teachers of the Visually Impaired (TVIs). TVIs and their students lack the necessary resources or technical training to teach braille, access to accessible technology, or tactile graphics. By funding this program, the resource gap which exists for this population of Massachusetts students will be addressed and the growth of their complete education can be achieved. Providing these resource kits to teachers will give them educational materials, training guidance, and improve their preparation to teach literacy and STEM subjects to these students in grades K-12. This will allow blind and visually impaired students to have equal access to the same information as their sighted peers, yielding a better educational outcome, and giving them the opportunity to excel in any subject matter and career in their future. statewide MA $615,000 Website Letter

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Wellesley Centers for Women, Wellesley College Today, far too many youths are struggling with mental health concerns, especially depression. This can lead to suicidal thoughts and actions. During the COVID pandemic, many adolescents report an increase in stress and isolation, contributing to more youth feeling depressed and becoming clinically depressed. In particular, African American and Latinx adolescents as well as LGBT youth are at elevated risk for depression and are much less likely to seek mental health support, and youth with disabilities, including youth with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), experience disproportionately high rates of depression. Building on a current PCORI-backed project that is comparing a technology-based intervention to a group-based cognitive behavioral depression prevention program for youth at risk for depression, the CATCH-IT project would help those most in need of mental health intervention at that critical stage before they are clinically depressed. The project would adapt CATCH-IT by using online technology tailored to the demographic and identity groups that are most vulnerable to negative mental health outcomes, applying a self-guided resource-based system based on the evidence of effective theoretical modeling that strengthens individual coping. This kind of technology-based intervention offers several distinct advantages over more traditional face-to-face approaches, including easy access, privacy, personalization, and decreased cost. In fact, technology-based interventions are non-consumable, i.e., once developed, they can be used repeatedly, and globally, without losing their preventative power, and may be accessed by multiple people simultaneously, without cost to people who may otherwise not have the resources for prevention or treatment of depressive symptoms. The CATCH-IT technology uses these design elements and targets adolescent character stories, with peer videos that are relatable and tailored, and focuses on adolescents and young adults who are at risk for depressive illness, with the goal of providing access to an inexpensive therapeutic intervention that can help them increase healthy activities, build a healthy cognitive style, improve interpersonal relationships, prevent clinical depression and suicide, and engage more positively in their community. Finally, a NIMH-funded clinical, multi-site trial of this technology showed that this program, when used by adolescents who presented with elevated symptoms of depression, was associated with decreased risk for depressive disorders across a 6-month follow-up interval.

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head Aquinnah This funding would be used by the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head Aquinnah to build two affordable housing units. Tribal Members are being forced to leave the island of Martha’s Vineyard due to the lack of available rental housing, the astronomically high cost of land, and cost of construction or the cost of any available existing homes to purchase or rent. This housing crisis is severely impacting the ability of tribe members to live or work here. Over the years, the cost of housing and construction has steadily escalated, and the disparity of income levels is stark. All too often income tables are skewed by the fact that the average income calculation is based on an island wide population and not specific to Tribal Members. Due to the fact that most year-round residents must hold more than one job in order to afford housing, they are often considered over income. However, many of the multi-seasonal residents or ultra-wealthy year-round residents have incomes that inflate the average costs to purchase or rent properties. So, despite working multiple jobs just to make ends meet, Tribal Members and others are over-income for subsidized housing. Additionally, since the COVID-19 Pandemic, more wealthy people have moved to the island and are purchasing houses, building houses or offering to pay two to three times the already inflated rents, disproportionately displacing Tribal Members from their rented homes. Without affordable housing, the Tribe is unable to employ management staff or professionals to work for the Tribal government to oversee or administer our critical and necessary programs and service to our Tribal Members. By providing additional housing, the Tribe can offer affordable housing to Tribal Members and attract quality personnel to help administer its programs and services.

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Salem, Massachusetts This funding would support the expansion of the Salem Skipper, an on-demand public transit service in Salem, MA, to the neighboring communities Beverly, Lynn, Danvers, and Peabody, creating an accessible, flexible, and cost-effective transit system on the North Shore. The Skipper currently serves over 700 riders a week within the City of Salem. By expanding the service to new communities, they would expect to serve over 2,000 rides a week, facilitating cross community trips that are not currently served by public transportation. While transit options in Boston are ubiquitous, residents on the North Shore currently have few public transit or active transport options when it comes to commuting within their own community or across North Shore communities. Transit carries more work trips into Boston’s core than reverse commute trips or commute trips within the North Shore area. As a result, the existing transit network is more suited to commuting in and out of Boston than in meeting the more localized and east/west work trips. In order to expand access to jobs, healthcare, groceries, and other social services, communities in the North Shore need to invest in improved transit options.

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies The Trustees of Reservations This funding would support the Trustees of the Reservation to construct an innovative community-led project on the East Boston waterfront, Piers Park III. The creation of Piers Park III advances a bold vision for iconic, public open space on Boston’s Harbor, managing a world-class park that supports diverse community needs, brings value to the city’s climate resiliency goals, and serves as welcoming public outdoor spaces helping people stay physically and mentally healthy and active. Piers Park III would be among the first climate resilient parks of this size in Boston, advancing the industrial re-use of an abandoned pier and turning it into a critical public amenity. This exciting green development represents an important opportunity to build a public park along an evolving East Boston waterfront. The design for Piers Park III will take full advantage of its unique East Boston location, providing the community and park visitors with a stunning experience of the New England coastline and new green infrastructure that will contribute to the protection of this vulnerable waterfront. Piers Park III will be strategically designed to help to buffer East Boston from flooding events due to storms, tidal flooding, and sea level rise; the park space will also help mitigate heat island effects.

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Newton and Town of Needham This funding would be used by the City of Newton and the Town of Needham for the reconstruction of the Christina Street Bridge, an abandoned and dangerous rail bridge over the Charles River which connects a portion of Christina Street in Newton and Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) land and trails in Needham. The bridge has been used by recreational walkers, cyclists, fishers, and religious communities for years. The Barry Price Center, the landowner of the Newton terminus, is very supportive of providing access to a bridge crossing, but the existing bridge is a significant safety concern. Closure of the bridge by the Price Center has shined a spotlight on the substantial community support for reestablishing this connection. This regional connectivity project is a high priority for Newton and Needham and has garnered initial support from DCR. This project will help revitalize the Needham St/Highland Ave area; provide a safe and accessible off-road connection for residents, commuters, and employees; provide access to businesses; provide safe access to DCR trails; allow congregations to resume religious activities on the bridge; reduce vehicle miles traveled and support progress toward carbon neutrality.

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Pittsfield This funding would support the City of Pittsfield to carry forward complete streets projects in 38 locations throughout the city, as well as sidewalk replacement and intersection ramp upgrades to meet current accessibility standards from a survey completed along 37 miles of the 145 mile network within the city. The MassDOT Complete Streets program prioritization plan, along with an existing limited sidewalk survey combined with an ongoing city-wide survey expected to be completed by end of June 2021 forms the base for the approach the city is taking to maintain or replace sidewalk infrastructure. The total estimated cost to provide much needed immediate repairs is $8.5M and includes sidewalk repairs and replacements, new sidewalk connections, signal improvements, bicycle facilities, road diets, pedestrian buffer zones, intersection treatments for bicycles and corner radii reduction among other things. The estimated cost for the Complete Streets Program portion is $5.1M with an expected allocation from Community Development Block Grant of $180,000 and other non-federal funding sources of $840,000. The estimated sidewalk specific work is $3.4M with an expected allocation from Community Development Block Grant of $120,000 and other non-federal funding sources of $560,000.

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Town of Danvers The Town of Danvers, MA, is fortunate to sit at the crossroads of two significant rail-to-trail corridors with substantial regional importance. The major north-south trail running through Town is called the East Coast Greenway, which stretches from Maine to Florida. In downtown Danvers, the Greenway intersects with the Northern Rail Trail, a rail line that once connected Boston to Quebec. Severalsegments of the Northern Rail Trail are currently online, with more projects coming every year detailed in the MAPC Map submitted with this response. The Town of Danvers Open Space & Recreation Plan 2017 states one of the Town’s core values quite eloquently, “The protection of undeveloped space and the establishment of recreational areas are vital to the health of a community and the quality of life of its residents. The Town of Danvers is fortunate in that it has recognized this importance over the years.” Through the 2020 pandemic, the Danvers Rail Trail was and still is a valued resource for those who seek outside recreation and for this and several other important reasons, we seek funding to extend the Danvers Rail Trail. Specifically, the Town is seeking assistance to construct the Northern Rail Trail in Danvers for which preliminary design work has been completed for the segment starting in downtown Danvers continuing on the north and south trial, under Interstate 95 and US Route 1 then to Middleton. The Commonwealth controls a section of the Northern Trail and the Town has conducted preliminary consultation with the State. The stakeholders at MassDOT thought it was positive, and a conceptual plan has been drawn up. To move the project ahead, the initial design work must go through a more formal design process requiring additional funding. Creating more connections to downtown is critical to align with the Town’s goal of revitalizing the downtown area to support socio-economic growth along with preserving the natural resources located within the town as well encouraging healthy lifestyles for those who reside, visit and work in the Town of Danvers. The Town is taking concrete action to support these goals. A February 2020 special town meeting rezoned more than 80 acres of downtown to encourage mixed-use development along this Rail Trail Extension corridor. Rezoning this area has already generated dozens of inquiries and several applications to our Planning Board. Secondly, the Town will be constructing a shortsection (Phase 1) of the Northern Rail Trail this calendar year, connecting more than 500 homes, two elementary schools, and the local YMCA(all within a quarter mile of the trail). Funding assistance to help us design and construct Phase 2 and Phase 3 of this facility to help strengthen the economic and social benefits this project will contribute to our ongoing downtown revitalization efforts. The trail expansion is identified in a community survey conducted by the Danvers Rail Trail Advisory Committee (RTAC) and is recognized as a top priority. In the past few years, Town Meeting has appropriated $160,000 toward this project, which inspired several private donations totaling over $30,000. Unfortunately, to keep this project moving in sequence with other segments coming online to our north, the Danvers’ portion requires more funding than the Town can provide due to critical capital investment projects to our existing utility infrastructure and the construction of the Ivan G. Smith Elementary School scheduled for completion Fall 2021. Research conducted by the Trails and Greenways Clearinghouse published in the Benefits of Trails and Greenways states, “Trails and greenways positively impact individuals and improve communities by providing not only recreation and transportation opportunities, but also by influencing economic and community development.” This research mirrors the Town’s goals to preserve recreational green space, support health and wellness as well as revitalize the downtown of Danvers. The Rail Trail Extension supports making connections with nature, family, neighbors, local businesses, surrounding communities, and heritage. “To make a greenway is to make a community”, Charles Little, Author of Greenways for America Danvers MA $7,925,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Essex National Heritage Commission This funding would be used by the Essex National Heritage Commission for the Border to Boston Trail network, which will increase recreational and transportation opportunities for communities throughout Essex County, MA. Continuing the multi-community trail network will provide intercommunity connections that foster economic and social benefits. Additionally, this funding will support “first mile/last mile” issues and help connect more people from forms of public transportation to their destinations around the county. Finally, advancing the Border to Boston Trail network will provide access to the dozens of natural resources that make up the Essex National Heritage Area. Community members have become very involved and engaged in the development of trails and have experienced the benefits of this trail network, especially in challenging times such as the pandemic. Trail stewards saw a significant increase in the usage of the Border to Boston Trail over the last year due to people engaging with outdoor resources in their community.

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies NewVue Communities This funding would be used by NewVue Communities for its Fitchburg Arts Community Project, as they redevelop three vacant and blighted historic Fitchburg municipal buildings into 68 units of mixed income artist-preference housing. The Fitchburg Arts Community is a vital project in the City’s efforts to improve the North of Main Neighborhood, one of North Central Massachusetts’ most diverse and poorest neighborhoods. When completed, the project will be only the second one in Massachusetts to combine Low Income Housing Tax Credits with an artist-preference housing for tenants. The Fitchburg Arts Community will meet the historic design and construction standards developed by the National Park Service, qualifying the project to be listed on the National Register for Historic Places. The building will also be certified as an Enterprise Green Communities building to help reduce energy needs and address our current climate challenges. These blighted buildings will be transformed into a cutting-edge campus of economic dynamism, resident housing and vitality. Fitchburg MA $500,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Framingham This funding would be used by the City of Framingham to create a community center, as the City currently lacks such a facility that could house everything from historical presentations to public meetings to art exhibitions to theater performances and concerts. The proposed location is Athenaeum Hall, in the village of Saxonville, and is one of the oldest public buildings in the City of Framingham. Athenaeum Hall is steeped in historical significance, was originally constructed in the 1840s and was renovated and enlarged in 1877. Athenaeum Hall has served the Commonwealth for a multitude of uses during its time of service, including serving as a school, jail, meeting place, health clinic, and in later years, housed American Legion Post 256. The Hall would be a significant historical preservation, rehabilitation, and re-dedication of a Community Hall for public use for all of the residents of Framingham and the Commonwealth writ large, possibly hosting regional events and performances. The City of Framingham would like to reinvigorate the Hall as a community venue for a wide range of events, including performances for small groups, presentations, organizations meetings and public gatherings, art shows, music, drama, film, and lectures to larger audiences on the second floor. The City’s goals of creating a community center for Framingham are to provide a fully accessible center while maintaining the historical character of the Hall and maximizing energy efficiency, coupled with considering alternative energy sources.

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Massachusetts Port Authority The Framingham facility is one of the busiest terminals in the Logan Express portfolio. Since opening with 1,037 spaces, the garage frequently reaches capacity with passengers having increased 50% in the last five years. With consistent demand for parking beyond capacity, and the benefit to the community of Framingham and the surrounding area, Massport wants to expand the facility to meet that need. In addition to increased capacity, expansion will allow for the installation of solar power panels on the garage façade resulting in 59 MWh/year and will offset an estimated 54 tons of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) annually. Framingham MA $1,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts, Inc. This funding would be used by the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts (“Food Bank”) to build a new Distribution Center and Headquarters to meet demand in the Western Massachusetts region. This new facility will be constructed on recently purchased property in Chicopee, MA, and the Food Bank will have the means to receive, store and distribute more food – especially fresh food – throughout their four-county region for decades to come. It will be twice the size of their current building, which has outgrown its use and can’t be expanded any further. The Food Bank is the clearinghouse of Western Massachusetts’ emergency food network, providing 171 local food pantries, meal sites and shelters most of the food to feed the community. The Food Bank also distributes healthy food directly to elders at 51 local senior centers and to households who live in food deserts at 26 Mobile Food Bank sites. The Food Bank serves a broad range of people facing food insecurity and hunger across all races/ethnicities, including children, elders, people with disabilities, veterans, working households on minimum-wage incomes and the recently unemployed – many for the first time – due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hampden County MA $3,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Town of Ipswich This funding would be used by the Town of Ipswich for the Argilla Road Reconstruction Project, which would include raising Argilla Road and installing new, larger culverts, which will prevent road flooding for decades to come. This road experiences periodic flooding from high tides and storm surges and by 2030, Argilla Road is projected to be chronically inundated with water nearly every day during high tide - making passage impossible for more than 350,000 residents and visitors to Crane Beach every year and negatively impacting the town and region’s economy. The project will also allow tidal flows to move naturally through the Great Marsh, helping to make the marsh healthier and more resilient to climate impacts, and will strengthen a naturally resilient ecosystem, protecting people and critical wildlife habitat while also supporting fisheries and the overall ecosystem. This critical infrastructure project will serve as a new model for other coastal communities throughout Massachusetts and nationally, as cities and towns prepare for increased coastal flooding due to sea level rise, storm surge, tidal flooding and other climate impacts. Ipswich MA $3,600,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Lawrence CommunityWorks, Inc. This funding would be used by Lawrence Community Works for the DyeWorks Building Redevelopment project, which directly responds to challenges in Lawrence, MA regarding equity, wealth building, and social inclusion. The proposal will ensure that future occupants of the space are dedicated to Lawrence’s diverse community, and provide key, desired services to its majority Latinx and Spanish-speaking residents. The Latinx-owned grocery store will provide 50-60 permanent jobs to folks who may otherwise have difficulty finding a job due to language barriers, and access to healthy produce and prepared foods in a food desert. It will attract various people and visitors to Lawrence and the neighborhood, where they can mingle and interact with Lawrence residents and build cross-cultural understanding. The community health center and pharmacy will provide critical preventative and palliative health services to Lawrence residents in a manner accessible to the city’s diverse ethnic and linguistic communities. The site will serve as an anchor that helps stimulate further positive activity and economic spillover in the area and connect current residents, as well as other adjacent Mill District tenants, to expanded green space and recreational opportunities in the area. Lawrence MA $2,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Malden This funding would be used by the City of Malden for the Spot Pond Brook Greenway project, which is a shared use path project that will link the Northern Strand Trail and the Malden River Greenway to the Malden Center and Oak Grove MBTA stations. As part of a larger shared-use path network, the city’s goal is to connect pedestrians and bicyclists from the Oak Grove neighborhood in northern Malden to the Malden River and Northern Strand Community Trail. Like Malden’s construction of the Northern Strand Trail, this project serves as a catalyst project which will result in a shared use path connecting communities North of Malden (Wakefield and Melrose) to communities South of Malden (Everett, Boston, Somerville.) The project will also connect multiple MBTA stations (Oak Grove, Malden Center, and Wellington.) This request involves funding for the second phase of the project which follows a comprehensive feasibility study as well as a robust community engagement process, including 3 public meetings. This funding would enable the city to complete the design and finalize the details with a goal toward the completion of construction documents. This would include community meetings as part of the process. The aim is to design over 5,000 feet of landscaped shared-use path through the urban core of Malden which is designated an Environmental Justice community by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Malden MA $340,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Melrose This funding would be used by the City of Malden for the Ell Pond Park project. Dedicated in 1921 to serve Melrose’s high-density downtown area, Ell Pond Park is a treasured community and regional resource that consists of active and passive recreational facilities surrounding Ell Pond. The 19.1-acre park has long served as the focal point for the City’s recreational needs and has undergone various upgrades throughout the last century. Facilities within Ell Pond Park today include the Melrose Skate Park, Lewis-Monk Little League Field, Richard D. Lyons Tennis Courts, West Knoll Field, Memorial Knoll, Melrose Dog Park, Cabbage Patch Field, Crystal Street Tennis Courts, and the parking area around The Knoll. For the past year, the City of Melrose has been working with consultant Weston & Sampson to conduct a feasibility for the Ell Pond Park property. The purpose of the feasibility study is to identify necessary improvements to existing park facilities and features, approximate the cost of improvements, determine potential sources of funding, and prioritize the order of upgrades based on feedback from Melrose residents and other potential users of the park. While Ell Pond Park is a prized resource for the City of Melrose, it is also an important regional resource with many people coming from outside the community to play games on the athletic fields, bring their dogs to the dog park, to access the nearby swimming pool owned by the Department of Conservation and Recreation, and more. Melrose MA $1,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Town of Merrimac This funding would be used to complete pavement repairs to the deteriorating roadway infrastructure in the Town of Merrimac, and repair sidewalks that are over 50 years old and do not meet ADA/MAAB compliance. The project will consist of pavement repairs between the two schools of approximately 1.5 miles of roadway repairs and replacing approximately 6 miles of sidewalks between the Sweetsir School and the Donaghue School making these locations safer and more accessible to all individuals based on the information provided in the Town’s Pavement Management Plan. Merrimac MA $850,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of New Bedford This funding would be used by the City of New Bedford for the construction of the Quest Center Parking Structure, which will eliminate the lack of district parking that is significantly impeding the growth of the City’s premier co-working space, Groundwork New Bedford. Founded in 2014, Groundwork is a partnership of the E for All New Bedford Business Incubator, the MassDevelopment Finance Agency, the New Bedford Economic Development Council, and the City of New Bedford. The long-standing limitation on parking has greatly restricted the potential of the entire Quest Center including Groundwork, the diminished prospects for the redevelopment of the nearby Armory, and impeded the future redevelopment of the now available Glaser Glass properties (private ownership). The proposed solution to the parking challenge is widely recognized as the lynchpin to the future success of Groundwork and the catalyzing of the next level of economic activity in this area of the City. New Bedford MA $11,500,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Bristol Community College Bristol Community College seeks funding for facility improvements at the National Offshore Wind Institute (NOWI), in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Specifically, funding is needed for renovation of facilities to improve areas for training simulator laboratories; training tank; hydraulic, electrical and mechanical laboratories; classrooms; industrial kitchen; office and cubicle spaces; registration and technology spaces; and fire simulator area. With these capital improvements, Bristol can ensure that the workforce in Massachusetts and the SouthCoast region has the skills required for careers in the offshore wind industry. With investment in the NOWI, Massachusetts will be at the forefront of the offshore wind industry. New Bedford MA $5,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of New Bedford This funding would support the City of New Bedford’s proposed West Rodney French Improvement Project, which would be undertaken to coincide with a major housing redevelopment project in the City at the adjacent, towering Kilburn Mill. The proposed $40 million project would transform four historic red brick mill structures into nearly 200 new housing units (10 units affordable, 40 units of workforce, and 139 market rate). Many of the units will enjoy breathtaking views of Clark’s Cove and the downtown. The housing complex will include the original office building and new parking and green space that will create a campus-like environment. This full historic rehabilitation project will also benefit from close access to the hurricane barrier walkway, and will be seen as a beacon when traveling south on JFK Memorial Boulevard into the Clark’s Point peninsula of New Bedford. The redevelopment of the Mill has taken important steps towards completion in recent years, and remains a top local housing priority. New Bedford MA $2,967,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of New Bedford This funding would be used by the City of New Bedford for the Blue Lane Working Waterfront Connector project, which is a key part of the City’s share-use path network that stretches from the CoveWalk and HarborWalk along the South End peninsula to the planned RiverWalk on the banks of the Acushnet River in the North End. The Connector would fill a critical 1.5 mile north-south gap in the network. The proposed project represents a key capital investment in the Port of New Bedford, the backbone of the local and regional economy. In total, the Port of New Bedford generates $11 billion in economic activity annually, or close to 2% of Massachusetts Gross State Product, concentrated in a 3-mile stretch of waterfront. The Project is also located within the Whales Tooth Transit Oriented Development (TOD) area, making it important to state efforts to connect New Bedford to the commuter rail network in Eastern Massachusetts. The Project would be the primary bicycle and pedestrian access route to the future Southcoast Rail MBTA commuter rail station (Whales Tooth station) from downtown, the State Pier Ferry terminal. Fairhaven residents looking to access the MBTA station by foot or bike would also benefit from the improvements. New Bedford MA $2,800,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of North Adams This funding would be used by the City of North Adams for a Downtown Shared-use Infrastructure Improvements Project. The City’s downtown, once a vibrant commercial district comprising numerous intersecting roadways creating blocks of multistory, mixed-use buildings, was remade by mid-century Urban Renewal. Buildings containing small businesses and residences were demolished, roadways were eliminated, and single-story, strip mall-style buildings and large surface parking lots were built in their stead. The changes made to the built environment reduces the walkability and livability of the city’s downtown. As a result, numerous historic buildings have, for decades, remained partially and, in some instances, entirely, vacant while downtown business turnover remains high. In order to combat the high number of vacancies and frequent business turnover, the Vision 2030 plan recommends increasing downtown walkability and livability by enhancing multimodal connections among downtown amenities, such as MASS MoCA, Main Street, and Eagle Street, to improve circulation, increase capital investment, and attract new residents and visitors to the downtown. The Downtown Shared-use Infrastructure Improvement project will do just that by transforming the car-centric downtown into a more pedestrian- and bicycle-oriented district using bike paths and creative streetscape designs. North Adams MA $5,369,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Northampton his funding would be used by the City of Northampton to complete the Rocky Hill Greenway shared use path and connect it to the existing regional trail network. The City has already built 1.5 miles of the Rocky Hill Road Greenway, but those sections are isolated and do not connect (Route 66 to Florence Road and Burts Pit Road to Sandy Hill Road). This project would fund the construction of 1.1 miles that is shovel ready and the last remaining one mile gap that needs design, acquisition, and construction funding. This section would link two completed sections of the trail (Route 66 to Florence Road and Burts Pit Road to Sandy Hill Road). Northampton MA $4,600,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Massachusetts Military Support Foundation, Inc. This funding would be used by the Massachusetts Military Support Foundation (MMSFI) to purchase a property in Norton, MA to support their expanded geographic area of services to Veterans and their families in Massachusetts. The purchase of the property will permit immediate use by the MMSFI for its food and other consumables distribution work while building a multi-service enterprise, Patriot Industries, to benefit Veterans and the communities in which they live. Massachusetts is home to 343,000 veterans of which 50% are over the age of 65, many of whom have immediate and extended families, some have former families and veterans who have given their lives in service may have surviving families. MMSFI serves them all and makes sure that every Veteran family is offered support making the actual reach exponentially larger than the 343,000 Veterans alone. The property was recently a textile manufacturing site which is located close to the Norton Commerce Center and the Myles Standish Industrial Park. MMSFI is proposing to establish and grow the Patriot Farm programs for the benefit of local Veterans and the surrounding communities. The Patriot Farm is an innovative response to identified needs and will be dedicated to the training, vocational growth, employment and housing of military veterans and their families. Patriot Farm will engage homeless and at-risk Veterans through transitional and permanent housing options, employment, and personal development opportunities. It will be a center for storage, processing and distribution for non-profits serving Veterans and other at-risk populations. Norton MA $630,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Pittsfield The William Stanley Business Park, has three of its parcels occupied, a fourth will be under construction this summer, and six sites remain available for new business and industry. Site 9, the largest and most prominent section of the park, has remained undeveloped due to its deplorable condition for over twenty years. Improving the condition of the parcel will make it a more attractive option for private sector development, which meets the goals of PEDA and the City by addressing the blighted condition and increasing the prospect of attracting businesses, creating jobs, generating income, and enhancing the City’s tax base. Pittsfield MA $6,225,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Revere The project would create a new commuter rail platform and multimodal transportation connector in the City of Revere. The commuter rail station would add a Revere stop on the Newburyport/Rockport line where none now exists. A pedestrian connection would be made to the MBTA Blue Line intermodal transit facility approximately 1000 feet to the east. The enhanced multimodal connecter would also serve bus riders, bicyclists, and could serve as a designated TNC pick-up/drop-off area. Funding will provide the resources for design and permitting pre-construction. Federal funds will then be sought for construction with sate match provided under a Transportation Bond. Revere MA $5,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Somerville This funding would be used by the City of Somerville for the proposed Interstate 93 Public Housing Environmental Health Equity Project, which is intended to protect the health of residents of public housing adjacent to Interstate Highway 93 in the city. Extensive research has documented harmful levels of traffic-generated air pollution and harmful levels of noise affecting residents of the Somerville Housing Authority’s Mystic Apartments neighborhood. Excessive rates of cardiovascular disease and pulmonary disease including COVID-19 have been documented in this low-income community, and have been empirically linked to air pollution produced by the 200,000-vehicle per day traffic pattern on the adjacent Interstate 93/MA State Route 38 corridor. The City of Somerville and its partners in community-based organizations have articulated a vision to address long-standing health disparities by replacing apartment windows at the public housing buildings to improve indoor air quality and attenuate dangerous highway noise. The City proposes to replace all windows at the 455-unit apartment complex with safe, efficient triple-glazed windows and frames. In addition to the urgent public health and environmental justice benefits of this proposed building retrofit, additional benefits will include energy use reductions for heating, cooling and maintenance activities.

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Revitalize Community Development Corporation This funding would be used by Revitalize CDC to support their GreenNFit Neighborhood Revitalization Program in the Western Massachusetts communities of Springfield, Holyoke, and Chicopee, which have aging housing stock - much of which was built prior to 1940. Almost 90% of the homes were built before 1978 with an increased risk of environmental hazards such as lead paint and asbestos. Older homes have issues of moisture mold, pest problems, lead paint, and other housing issues that lead to morbidity related to asthma and other health conditions. All three cities are racially/ethnically diverse and all three have median household incomes well below the Commonwealth level of $81,215 (Springfield has an AMI of $39,432; Holyoke has an AMI of $40,769; and Chicopee has an AMI of $53,225). #GreenNFit Neighborhood Rebuild will focus on low-income households in CDBG targeted neighborhoods of these cities. Since 2012, Revitalize Community Development Corporation has held #GreenNFit Neighborhood Rebuild events in the Old Hill Neighborhood and north end of Springfield. Holyoke #GreenNFit events began in2016 and Chicopee events began in 2019. A #GreenNFit Neighborhood Rebuild event braids together the contributions of over 100 supporters with 1,000 skilled and unskilled volunteers, construction-related businesses, neighborhood residents, previous #GreenNFit recipients, and other local community-based organizations to revitalize an entire city block.

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Town of Westport This funding would be used by the Town of Westport for their Route 177 at Tickle Road Roundabout Project. Route 177 transits Mass and Rhode Island and is a heavily used collector road in Westport, MA. The intersection of Route 177 at Tickle Road is a heavily used highway that has significant traffic safety problems, high speeds, and high traffic. This project would address a serious traffic safety hazard caused by large numbers of vehicles transiting Westport at high rates of speed and would reduce traffic accidents by slowing down vehicles as they navigate the traffic roundabout. This project would reduce traffic accidents by making it safer for vehicles attempting to leave or enter Route 177 from Tickle Road and Robert St in the town. Westport MA $2,300,000 Website Letter
