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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Senator Klobuchar MN Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Hennepin Technical College Hennepin Technical College Public Safety Cross-Functional Training Facility to launch the region's first cross-functional public safety training destination for peace officers, firefighters and EMTs to foster next-level emergency responder education in a live scenario environment. The proposed cross-functional training program would close the gap on existing public safety academic infrastructure at the HTC Law Enforcement Center/Brooklyn Park campus location, creating a wrap-around educational experience for public safety professionals and students. Recent events have solidified the need for first responders to train together to respond to an ever-evolving range of complex emergency events. No call for service is completely handled by any one type of public safety agency anymore. Events such as active shooters, hazardous materials incidents, terrorist attacks, and civil unrest have highlighted the need for joint training in planning, communication, and response. Additionally, a growing focus on social welfare issues such as addiction and mental health emergencies has demonstrated the need for people outside of traditional first responder roles to be trained to assist in a crisis. A regional public safety training facility is needed to provide specialized and cost-effective scenario-based training for a multitude of real-world scenarios that responders encounter on the job. Training in this manner before a student begins their career will instill a culture of responding to and supporting the communities they serve. Hennepin County MN $3,464,000 Website Letter

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity Construction project. Start and end dates: 04/01/2023 - 02/28/2025. Scope of project: Construction. Hennepin County needs affordable housing. The twelve-unit Minnetonka Townhomes project will take an important step in providing affordable housing to families in the Minnetonka area. Minnesota has the largest racial homeownership and wealth gap in the county and is experiencing an affordable housing crisis across the state. The Metropolitan Council's Community Profiles report notes that 30% of Minnetonka residencies are rented, which is an estimated 7,159 households. 37% of all renter households are cost-burdened in Minnetonka, leaving families to pay more than 30% of their monthly income on housing. Despite this, almost no owner-occupied affordable units have been built in Minnetonka in the past few years. According to the Met Council Residential Building Permit Survey, new single-family detached housing has been flat, with extraordinary growth in multifamily units over the past 10 years. The county is growing, though only 22% of existing-home sales have been for housing less than $249,000. These numbers show strong demand for 60% AMI and 80% AMI homeownership opportunities in Minnetonka. TC Habitat has noted some potential scattered housing sites in the Minnetonka area, three of which could support 12 townhome units. The combination of townhomes and a community land trust for this site allow Habitat to fill a housing gap for large families with modest incomes. In addition, the Minnesota Housing Partnership reports a significant countywide racial disparity in homeownership: while only 30% of white households in Hennepin County are renters, 78% of African American and 66% of Latino households are renters.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Hennepin County Construction project. Start and end dates: 10/01/2022 - 09/30/2023. Scope of project: Construction. This program seeks to redesign the system of emergency shelter available to persons and families experiencing homelessness in Hennepin County. The program better aligns access to the current network with federal standards around "Coordinated Entry". It will better ensure that people experiencing homelessness are assessed for the best housing response to their homelessness. A more rational system of shelter should be in place to best take advantage of Coordinated Entry. This redesigned system allows for people to self-resolve their homelessness when possible. For those who are unable to self-resolve their housing situation, this Shelter Redesign moves them to the most appropriate shelter to meet their needs, allow them to be assessed through the VI-SPDAT, and then assigned a Permanent Supportive Housing program or a Rapid-Rehousing worker to assist them in finding stable housing. There is an urgent need to secure additional funding for the St. Stephens/House of Charity new emergency shelter which is designed to give people the safety, stability, and services they need. The current emergency shelters have operated at capacity for many years. Designed with the direct input of shelter guests, the new emergency shelter will provide for 55 guests with overflow if needed. It will better serve guests in a safer, more comfortable sleeping layout with six-person rooms versus large, congregate, traditional shelter structure and give outreach workers new spaces to connect with those resistant to shelter with 24-hour staffing to support guests' needs for services.

Senator Klobuchar MN Energy and Water Development Bureau of Reclamation Rock County Rural Water is requesting 4,000,000 dollars to design, construct and equip a 500,000 gallon water tower and install infrastructure required for the water tower on the west side of our system. Rock County Rural Water does not meet Minnesota Department of Health or ten states standards on minimum storage compacity. Minnesota Department of Health has indicated on our sanitary survey report stated "the average daily water usage greatly exceeds the guidelines of providing a minimum of the one day water storage capacity". This project would give us fire protection for several of the small towns we serve as well as the ability to better blend high quality Lewis and Clark water with our pumped water. This project would also provide adequate storage in the event of a natural disaster and/or system disruptions as well provide the ability for economic growth to the rural customers and small towns we serve. Rock County's main economic driver is agriculture and the growth of agriculture in our area. This project will ensure agriculture users the ability to have high quality water at their disposal for livestock and crop use. We are applying for grant funds due to the total project costs and the unreasonable burden it would put on Rock County Rural Water customers. A vast majority of Rock County Rural Water's budget goes to operations, updates to aging infrastructure and wellhead protection. Rock County MN $400,000 Website Letter
Senator Klobuchar MN Energy and Water Development Bureau of Reclamation Lewis & Clark is a non-profit 501(c)4 organization incorporated in 1990 and authorized by Congress in 2000 (P.L. 106-246). It is a wholesale provider of water to 20 member cities and rural water systems in a 5,000 square miles area (size of Connecticut) in southwest Minnesota, southeast South Dakota, and northwest Iowa. Groundbreaking was on August 21, 2003, construction began in earnest in 2004, and operations started on July 30, 2012. Water is currently being delivered to 15 members - and 5 members are still waiting to receive water. Water rates cover 100% of the operations and maintenance expenses. The source of water is a series of wells that tap into an aquifer adjacent to the Missouri River. With the purpose of improved quality of life and expanded economic development opportunities, Lewis & Clark represents a unique regional approach to address common problems of water quality and quantity in a more effective and cost-efficient way than each member could do alone. This water provides water to 10 counties in southwest Minnesota. Nobles MN $12,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Klobuchar MN Energy and Water Development City of Barnesville The Water Treatment Plant Generator has failed in the most recent testing. If there were inclement weather or another emergency that disrupted power to the Water Treatment Plant, we would not be able to provide water to the residents safely. Providing safe drinking water to the small towns in Minnesota is highly vital to the overall health and wellness of the State of Minnesota. This project would help provide this for the project area. There is more need than funds in small-town Minnesota. In Barnesville, approximately 75% of the community's infrastructure needs repair or replacement due to the age of the system. This will come at a cost that will be financially burdensome to the community, and its residents, of which many are on a fixed income. By receiving these requested funds, the City will be able to start the long process of replacing this infrastructure and allow for future projects to be constructed sooner. This area of the community will be provided with adequate potable water for drinking and fire protection. Barnesville MN $132,000 Website Letter
Senator Klobuchar MN Energy and Water Development Army Corps of Engineers The Navigation-Ecosystem Sustainability Program (NESP) is a multi-purpose program for the Upper Mississippi River and Illinois Waterway (UMR-IWW), consisting of navigation improvements and ecosystem restoration. Its primary goal is to ensure the economic and environmental sustainability of this, the only river system that Congress identified in 1986 as "a nationally significant ecosystem and a nationally significant commercial navigation system." NESP aims to improve the capacity and efficiency of the navigation system through updated lock and dam infrastructure and smaller-scale infrastructure designed to further improve the advantages of towboat and barge transportation. Construction of new 1,200-foot chambers at seven key lock and dam sites to augment the existing undersized 600-foot locks, creating two-way river traffic and providing single lockages for 1,110-foot tows. Smaller-scale navigation improvements are also included. This project also includes an equal amount dedicated to more than 300 ecosystem restoration projects throughout all five upper basin states. NESP will also restore, protect, and enhance the riverine and riparian habitat through ecosystem restoration measures designed to ensure the sustainability of home to 25 percent of North America's fish species and a globally important flyway to 40 percent of North America's migratory waterfowl and shorebirds.

Senator Klobuchar MN Energy and Water Development Agricultural Utilization Research Institute This project aims to conduct a detailed feasibility analysis about the development of a local upper Midwest fertilizer hub. Synthetic fertilizers are essential to modern agriculture. Without them, it is impossible to sustain the productivity level that has allowed the US agricultural system to maintain an increasingly abundant supply of low-cost food to the nation and the world. On the other hand, depending on fossil fuels, synthetic fertilizers have a large environmental footprint. Ammonia production, the basis for all nitrogen fertilizers, accounts for almost 2% of the global greenhouse gas emissions. Fertilizers are also dependent on large supply chains and, as a globally traded commodity, are highly affected by energy prices and supply chain disruptions. We aim to identify how this new fertilizer supply could insert into the existing supply chain to minimize disruption for the user. A key outcome of the study is the identification of regulatory and policy approaches to attract the needed private capital. Crookston MN $750,000 Website Letter

Senator Klobuchar MN Energy and Water Development Army Corps of Engineers The City of Ely's municipal water system's sole source of drinking water is a surface water intake from Burntside Lake. The water intake line from Burntside Lake was constructed in 1932 and is approximately 25,000 feet in length. The water line is buried less than four feet in depth in most places but is above ground and exposed to the elements in areas in which it crosses rivers and other wetlands. The line is supported on three separate bridges that crosses the Burntside River and two creeks. Breakages have occurred to this line due to the minimal depth at which the line is buried. Exposed areas of the line have experienced corrosion of the connecting hardware which had required numerous repairs. Because this is the sole water source for the city, any breaks must be treated as an emergency situation to ensure that residents have adequate supply of drinking water and necessary fire protection.

Senator Klobuchar MN Energy and Water Development City of St. Paul The Como Zoo must continuously address critical animal habitat and energy efficiency asset preservation to meet modern zoological practices. The Como Zoo has set an ambitious goal to reduce energy costs by 20%. To continue to upgrade facility heating and cooling systems the Como Zoo needs additional funding to remain a viable and sustainable entity whose mission is to inspire the public to value the presence of living things in our lives. The Como Zoo currently does not have the funds available to change over a 70 year old inefficient natural gas steam boiler to a more energy efficient heating and cooling system to begin the decarbonization of the Como Zoo Campus. This natural gas steam boiler system was last upgraded over 30 years ago. The Hydro Geothermal Heat Pump (HGHP) achieves a much higher performance profile than a natural gas steam boiler and even more than a traditional geothermal system. HGHP installations can provide up to a 75% reduction in energy use compared to installations of conventional natural gas furnaces with electric air conditioners. Total energy consumption from heating and cooling is reduced by 65-85%, and the annual energy cost is reduced by approximately 55% compared to natural gas furnaces with air conditioners. Electric utilities have expressed enthusiasm for the balanced demand load of geothermal heating and cooling. On top of energy savings, geothermal heating and cooling provides significant reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. St. Paul MN $5,500,000 Website Letter

Senator Klobuchar MN Energy and Water Development City of St. Paul The City of Saint Paul has a goal of being carbon neutral in City operations by 2030. A key component of this work will involve decarbonizing City buildings. The City seeks to undertake a City Buildings Decarbonization Plan. The City will seek a consultant to conduct the analysis and propose a methodology for transitioning City buildings away from dependence on fossil fuel-based energy sources, and toward such solutions as geothermal heating and cooling, air-source heat pumps, and energy efficiency upgrades. The focus would be on the 40 City buildings that are 25,000 square feet or larger, with strategies also identified for smaller building types. The Plan will recommend strategies for the decarbonization of each of those 40 largest buildings, including a 3-year initial action plan and project prioritization.

Senator Klobuchar MN Energy and Water Development Army Corps of Engineers The $2,340,000 in requested funds will be used to purchase key equipment needed for the safe operations of a sanitary district. The new equipment will be technologically superior to the outdated and original equipment which is currently in place. The total cost for the project will be $3,120,000. We are requesting 75% of this from the federal government and GKWMLL will fund its 25% cost share of $780,000. They will use their current cash on hand, or a general obligation bond, if needed. This cost will fund the key equipment necessary for the safe operation of lift stations. The new equipment will include 11 permanent generators and 28 lift stations. The 11 permanent generators are critical because lift stations will not operate without electrical power, and they continue to receive wastewater. Power failures happen at least once a year, and the district currently has only two portable generators to bring to a lift station during a power outage. Without the 11 new generators, potentially 26 lift stations could lose power and cease to move wastewater, causing destructive and dangerous surface discharge. A final purchase with congressional funding is a new, higher quality Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) control system. This key piece of equipment monitors water levels, pump temperatures, pump vibration, and moisture in the motors of the 28 lift stations. The existing control panels and SCADA components are outdated and lack the current modern technology needed to safely monitor the 20-mile collection system. Mille Lacs MN $2,340,000 Website Letter

Senator Klobuchar MN Energy and Water Development Great Plains Institute "GPI requests $400,000 to work with communities, environmental and agricultural stakeholders, solar industry, and energy utilities to create pilot projects demonstrating how solar deployment can be a primary solution to nitrate contamination and risk. The effort would identify optimal locations using geospatial analysis of vulnerable drinking water supplies, parcel size, proximity to other land uses, and access to transmission for the solar. The project will also: engage rural water suppliers that are facing nitrate problems and potentially high capital costs for treatment, find willing land owners to participate in the pilot, identify electric utilities providers that want to increase renewable energy supply, identify solar developers willing to look at an alternative business model for development, engage natural resource and habitat organizations and agencies to assess how to maximize the habitat and surface water benefits engage agricultural agencies and practitioners to assess how the solar concepts fits agricultural business models conduct engineering studies of transmission interconnection costs and need for upgrades The project will then create pilot projects in different parts of the state, where conditions are appropriate, to demonstrate the benefits and co-benefits of solar protected drinking water supplies."

Senator Klobuchar MN Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Le Sueur County Through multiple feasibility studies and landowner meetings three project sites have been identified that Le Sueur County is looking to find alternative ways to fund. The first project is Mareks Lake outlet structure. The structure in question is failing and is needed to be replaced. The proposed structure which would help maintain a natural water body and keep the Ordinary High level of Mareks Lake. The project has been identified as the responsibility of the drainage system. Due to the cost it has had little support from the watershed landowners for repair. The remaining projects are from willing drainage system land owners who want to help the system by installing in water storage basins on their land. The projects will mitigate flooding events throughout the Drainage System. The storage projects will help with flooding and sediment that impact the drainage system and outlet to the Minnesota River. The storage projects would be a huge benefit to the Le Sueur County Drainage System, landowners and also the Minnesota River. These types of projects are beneficial to help address altered hydrology in the upper watershed that lead to flooding issues within the Drainage System and ultimately the Minnesota River. Awarding Le Sueur County funds for the projects would help take a huge burden off of everyone on the Drainage System as well as impacted landowner and homeowners downstream as flooding and erosion continue to be a problematic issue for Le Sueur County.

Senator Klobuchar MN Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies City of Lake City Funding would be used to restore and improve the resiliency of the City's infrastructure by replacing the existing retaining wall on the lakefront of Lake Pepin and the Mississippi River, which is being heavily eroded and impacting the city's public park space, quality of life for community members, and the water quality and natural habitat of the Lake. The existing retaining wall is undermined, allowing lake water to seep underneath its base and erode soil from the park, which in turn is creating sinkholes on park land and washing out the park structures. In addition to the instability of the existing wall structure, climate change has impacted the water levels of Lake Pepin, and the existing wall cannot withstand the higher water levels and flooding. The investment of a new retaining wall would not only protect the City's public infrastructure, but it would also preserve safe public spaces and the shoreline of the Mississippi River.

Senator Klobuchar MN Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies City of Audubon The City of Audubon is looking to demolish the current fire/community hall and erect a new fire/community hall. The current fire/community hall, is three separate buildings combined as one. Foundation, structure, and roof issues have all caused severe issues with the existing building, including leaks, mold, uneven floors, gaps under doors, and drafty windows. Inadequate space for social distancing, proper air ventilation, and proper storage of gear and supplies are all results of a building that is well past its prime. Due to many of these issues, the community hall portion has been closed to the majority of the public. The current city hall houses administration, police, and office space for the rescue department, whose storage facility is in the existing fire/community hall. This building has an unusable second level due to the lack of an acceptable access for individuals of all abilities. In order to provide the best service possible to the residents of not just our city, but also the surrounding lakes area a new all in one facility is the best option physically and financially.

Senator Klobuchar MN Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies City of Warren The proposed use of the congressionally-directed spending funds would go toward the building of a new child care facility. The city of Warren begin the design and securing of funds prior to the pandemic. The proposed cost was $1.6 Million. Bids were opened for a new facility in February 2022 and the cost will be $2.6 Million for a 10,000 square foot building. The price of materials has increased about 25% since the pandemic. The design of the building was done to be sure every square foot was a revenue generator. The current childcare facility is poorly designed to allow for maximum revenue per room. The facility was also designed very conservatively. There was not a lot of extras. There is no where to cut to get the cost down. A total of $1.6 Million was secured prior to the bids being opened but that does not cover the new costs to build. Two additional grants have been secured but the project is still $400,000 short to cover the costs to build. The $400,000 request for funds would go to build the facility to increase childcare slots in Northwest Minnesota and increase the workforce. The requested amount will finish the funding for the project. Warren MN $400,000 Website Letter

Senator Klobuchar MN Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies West Central Initiative The purpose of this project is to renovate a space in south Moorhead to open a 70-slot, multi-cultural child care center, staffed with culturally competent teachers. This will be the second location for the Jasmin Child Care and Preschool Center, with their first located in Fargo, North Dakota. Following is a list of the advantages of this center's construction project: The Jasmin Child Care and Preschool is working with a local church to renovate the church's underutilized space for a child care center. The church is located within a neighborhood where a high concentration of New Americans resides and near public transportation hubs. The church already serves the community through other mission-based initiatives, such as community gardens and meeting/gathering space. The Christian based church is open-minded about other religions and has created a welcoming space and attitude for their New American neighbors. The current center director and staff speak three to four different languages each, and all are fluent in English. The Jasmin Child Care and Preschool center tailor their services primarily for children who are directly from Africa and Middle East Asia or whose parents are from Africa and Middle East Asia, though any child is welcome. As part of their mission, the Jasmin Child Care and Preschool supports the transition into the mid-western American culture for both the child and their parents, creating a safe space for understanding, care and translations. The goal of the Jasmin Child Care and Preschool staff is to support the transition of children and their parents into the public school system, when the child enters kindergarten, helping the child towards better social and academic success. A major component of the overall lack of child care is the shortage of teacher-qualified early care educators. The Jasmin Child Care director has committed her own early childhood expertise and educational background and is partnering with CAP LP Child Care Aware to recruit and train the Jasmin Child Care staff in the Child Development Associate (CDA) certification. This will provide the care center, along with the Moorhead community, with multi-lingual, teacher-qualified care providers. On a broader scope, child care is drastically needed and child care that focuses on cultural and linguistic diversity is non-existent in Moorhead and in West Central Initiative's region. Construction of the Jasmin Child Care is a vital need for the New American community, and the Moorhead community and a model for all of west central Minnesota. " Moorhead MN $500,000 Website Letter

Senator Klobuchar MN Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Hmong American Farmers Association Federal funds received would be used to implement Phase II of our Capital Campaign project, which focuses on building a 6000 square feet year-round training facility that includes wash, rinse, cooling and curing rooms and office space on the HAFA incubator farm. HAFA advances the economic, social and cultural prosperity of low-income, immigrant and first-generation Hmong farmers and their families through economic development, capacity building, advocacy, and research. We are a community-based nonprofit that works with over 100 Hmong farmers who live in the Twin Cities metropolitan area but farm in the outer ring rural suburbs where farmland is available, as well as Hmong farmers in the greater Minnesota region, providing training, support, and capacity building so their small-scale farming businesses can grow and thrive. We also consult and collaborate with other Minnesota organizations that focus on the needs of immigrant, refugee, and BIPOC farmers, and with other Hmong organizations across the continental United States. The new facility will allow HAFA to improve the bilingual, bicultural training programs and support we offer to farmers and other BIPOC-farmer-focused organizations by consolidating our operations and support personnel into one space, and hosting training programs on the farm instead of renting space at other facilities, which provide farmers with hands-on opportunities to deepen their knowledge of training material content. This facility would also greatly increase the capacity for HAFA's farmers to supply produce to local retailers, as well as our Farm-to-Family program, which supplies produce to local schools, daycares, and low-income families.

Senator Klobuchar MN Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Chalkboard Collective Community The Chalkboard Collective Community's vision is to repurpose the vacated BOLD Elementary School in Bird Island and create a 65,985 square foot multi-purpose property that will foster school sports, student learning, business expansion, community wellness, a deep winter greenhouse, and arts programs for Central Renville County. To achieve this vision, Chalkboard Community Collective needs to demolish parts of the school and prepare the site for occupancy. The original school building was erected in 1917 and was expanded in 1937 and 1956. The original 1917 building and part of the 1956 addition are unusable due to deferred maintenance. As a result, 41,340 square feet of the property, or 42%, needs to be demolished and made weather tight and usable in its existing condition. Additional work includes building a new exterior wall at the part of the building exposed after the demolition, hazardous materials abatement, reconnecting utilities, a new HVAC system for parts of the building, an ADA accessible restroom, a new lobby connecting the east and west parts of the building, a new locker room, and the new greenhouse. Chalkboard Collective Community partners will then use a combination of personal capital and community support to renovate the interior space once the usable portion of the building is restored. The commissioned work by the Architect firm Engan Associates to assist in projecting both costs and usage of this project, and Artspace Consulting to do a Feasibility Study including a capital and operating analysis have determined the redevelopment cost of the project to be $7,520,784.

Senator Klobuchar MN Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies City of Howard Lake "The City of Howard Lake is seeking financial assistance to construct a 7,000 square foot library/senior center. Howard Lake-Waverly and surrounding areas is currently served by a 1,700 square foot functionally obsolete library facility constructed in 1979. The facility fails to meet ADA accessibility standards for egress, aisles, technology, assembly, bathroom functions and parking for patrons with limited mobility and seniors. In 2019, a water infiltration issue has compromised the structural integrity of the foundation. The space has been largely unused and underused during the covid19 pandemic due to inability to provide services while meeting CDC guidelines. The City is proposing to build a replacement facility, adjacent to a community park and HLWW Schools in an all inclusive, all users manner. The facility will use renewable technologies and is believed to be the first net-zero library to be constructed in the state. " Howard Lake MN $3,700,000 Website Letter
Senator Klobuchar MN Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Fraser Mental Health Fraser Mental Health provides counseling for children and adolescents with mental health concerns. We are the largest and most experienced provider of early childhood mental health services in Minnesota. Fraser offers evaluation, therapy, preschool day treatment and support services for children with a mental health diagnosis, including adjustment disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, mood disorder, conduct disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Each year we serve over 2,300 children. For both autism and mental health disorders, children who receive early intervention rely less on special education services, have a better chance of completing school and are more likely to gain employment and independence as adults. In the Twin Cities metropolitan area, more than 15,000 children aged 5 or younger suffer from a mental health disorder (Minnesota Department of Human Services). These disorders interfere with emotional development, social relationships, academic performance and future physical and mental health. This is not a challenge unique to the Twin Cities and suburbs. All children in Minnesota need these valuable services, and Fraser is able to deliver care via telehealth. This delivery model is deeply related to Fraser's commitment to DEIB work as clinicians do not need to move to Alexandria, Thief River Falls, or Willmar to provide care to any Minnesotan in need of services also allowing families to access a more diverse group of clinicians.

Senator Klobuchar MN Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Oslo Region Joint Powers Board 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. Flooding has been a disaster declaration multiple times. 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. This is a multi-state issue involving many government entities and agencies, each commissioned with a singular purpose, and none large enough to offer a solution to the common problem.

Senator Klobuchar MN Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies City of Garrison "The City of Garrison is requesting $704,894 for improvements to its Community Center/Fire Hall facility, so the City's administrative offices can also be relocated there. The total project cost is $939,859. The City will fund its 25% cost share of $234,965 with cash on hand or general obligation bonding. Improving this space will allow the City staff and Fire Department to improve public services with stronger collaboration. This improvement project will remodel existing space as it is less expensive than building new. High priority needs are replacing compromised insulation that is causing mold growth, replacing broken windows, and replacing stairways with proper depth treads and ADA compliance handrails. ADA accessibility is a substantial need including new doors, proper swing areas, grab bars and proper clearances. Serious electrical issues will be corrected, and safety LED lighting will be added to entrances. Essential improvements to the facility were identified in a facility study conducted in January 2022 which is included. Ventilation is a serious issue. The Fire Hall's garage lacks the required ventilation by state code, which is a dangerous environment for the 20 firefighters. Installing an appropriate heating system and hazardous gas detection system is critical for protecting firefighters. Two existing wells at the facility do not meet isolation distances from contaminant sources as required by the Minnesota Well Code. These wells will be sealed and a new compliant well will be established at the exterior, providing a dual source for drinking water and an efficient source to fill fire vehicles.

Of this amount, $9,500,000 is needed for construction. The purpose of the project is to address water quality issues such as high levels of manganese. For purposes of providing background, a health risk advisory was received from Minnesota Department of Health for having a high level of manganese in our drinking water system. While our drinking water complies with the Safe Drinking Water Act standards, recent testing indicated that the City's water has high levels of manganese greater than the MDH recommended Health Based Value (HBV). Children and adults who drink water with high levels of manganese for a long time may have problems with memory, attention, and motor skills. Infants may develop learning and behavior problems if they drink water with too much manganese in it. A water system study has been completed to study water quality issues. It is recommended that the city construct a new water treatment facility which would include a new well and well house, a new treatment facility with aeration and detention for iron oxidation, the use of potassium permanganate for manganese oxidation, filtration for iron and manganese removal, chlorine for disinfection, as well as the addition of fluoride and a corrosion inhibitor. At the present time, the City's water system consists of two active municipal wells, one elevated storage tank, and a distribution system. Eagle Lake MN $4,750,000 Website Letter
Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Lafayette The City of Lafayette needs to complete improvements to their water treatment plant to allow us to be in compliance with soon to be finalized chloride limits for the Minnesota River Basin. The City is proposing to add a reverse osmosis (RO) system to our water treatment plant process for water softening. In order to add the RO system, a new building is needed for not only the system, but also to safely store the chemicals needed for the new process. Additional components of the project are high service pumps and equipment, an onsite dedicated generator, process piping, and associated components. Lafayette MN $1,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Rice County Rice County, along with Bridgewater and Forest Township are seeking support for the construction of a centralized water tower that would serve areas of Bridgewater and Forest Township off of the I35 and Rice County Road 1 Corridor. This water tower location has been identified in prior AUAR's and is an important asset for fire protection and economic development purposes. As a result of increasing demands for development land off of the I35 corridor, Forest and Bridgewater Township have formed a Joint Powers Board to help control and facilitate orderly development in this area. The townships along with the County, jointly participated in an infrastructure engineering study to determine the needs for both water and sewer for various types of development in the region. Our recent engineering study estimates a total construction cost of $7,500,000 however, a local project has recently completed for $5,500,000 and we would scale to the lower cost. A centralized water system is an important component to facilitate growth. Existing businesses and homes will also be better served from a fire protection standpoint as the regional fire service district and insurance company ratings have indicated the lack of a centralized water system as a safety concern.

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Rochester The City of Rochester seeks State and Tribal Assistance Grant funding to modify its Water Reclamation Plant to meet more stringent phosphorus limits and replace equipment that has reached the end of its useful life. The phosphorus removal project will convert a two-stage High Purity Oxygen plant onsite to a conventional air plant using the same configuration as the Aeration Basin Complex Plant, which will improve biological phosphorous removal. An Aeration Basin Complex plant will be expanded to ensure compliance with the new phosphorous limits into the future. The project will also conduct upgrades to increase plant efficiency, simplify operations, and reduce maintenance costs. Rochester MN $2,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community The funding for this project would be used to complete a water reclamation system that would provide a regional example of how to protect our surface waters and ground water while operating an organics recycling facility. The organic materials received may contain PFAS and other elements that are environmental concerns. The stormwater reclamation system requiring funding support, reuses all water runoff (approximately 10,000,000 gallons annually) and allows the site to operate without discharges off-site even in extreme rainfall conditions. $2,500,000 is requested to complete the water reclamation system. This reflects an 80% Federal match on the $3,125,000 stormwater system, not the entire facility project. Scott County MN $2,500,000 Website Letter
Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Scott County The Merriam Junction Regional Trail Riverbank Restoration project is an essential component of a decade-long initiative to convert an abandoned rail bed to a regional, multi-use, accessible destination trail connecting Scott and Carver Counties across the Minnesota River. The requested funding will provide for the clean up and environmentally responsible restoration of the banks of the Minnesota River along a 2.4 mile segment from Louisville Township to Carver. Having a strong shoreline that limits run-off, provides a buffer against flooding, and promotes conservation of natural habitats is a critical component of the overall Merriam Junction Regional Trail project, which Scott County is funding to bring greater outdoor recreation opportunities to citizens of the region. However, the trail sits along easily saturated land along the banks of the Minnesota River. It will run through the Minnesota Valley landscape, along the River, and adjacent to both the Louisville Swamp Unit of the MN Valley National Wildlife Refuge and the Gifford Lake Unit of the MN Valley State Recreation Area. The funds requested will ensure that the trail can be safely used by pedestrians, bicyclists, and winter sports enthusiasts, while restoring and promoting natural habitats. Washed out trails are more than an inconvenience - they pose health and safety risks to trail users. This video provides an excellent overview of the project as a whole.

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Woodbury Water Main Replacement Project - This is a project that will be shovel ready in 2023. With the approval, design and build out of the Gold Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) a large section of the route will be in the City of Woodbury. The route, both dedicated and shared lanes, will be over aging water and sewer infrastructure. While a large section of the sewer infrastructure was rehabilitated by the City of Woodbury in the years preceding the BRT project, the water main now exceeding 50 years in age with documented breaks and failures has not. The BRT project will be addressing portions of the water main upgrades to limit future disruptions to the route. However, sections of water main infrastructure will not be included due to its location resulting in a patch work of new and aging/failing infrastructure. This poses operation and resiliency concerns for the City of Woodbury municipal water system. Completing the entire length of the water main is good governance, builds resiliency in potable water supply, and takes advantage of the disruptions to the community as the BRT project is implemented.

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of South Haven The City of South Haven, MN needs funding for replacement of existing drinking water, wastewater, stormwater and street infrastructure. Portions of the existing systems are in the process of being replaced with a legislative appropriation, but the remainder of the systems are in very poor condition. The existing drinking water distribution system contains a high volume of bacterial slime and mold growth that cannot be removed without replacing watermain and other components to ensure the health and safety of the public. The existing water tower has lead-based paint in interior and exterior coatings, requires structural repairs to meet OSHA standards, and is compromised with bacteria growth. The existing sanitary sewer system consists of high-density polyethylene pipe that is fused together in a way that creates a ridge inside the pipe that inhibits televising and proper maintenance and cleaning, the main lift station was constructed in a topographically low area that causes flooding after rain events, and a 2020 resident survey revealed that three separate residents have experienced backups in their homes. The existing storm sewer consists of pipes and structures that are in poor condition and causes flooding in certain areas of the City. The existing streets will require replacement along with the underground piping. South Haven MN $10,200,000 Website Letter

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Gilman Select portions of the sanitary sewer system will be replaced and new sanitary sewer pipes and forcemains would be added to the existing system to provide sanitary service to new users. A new, deeper lift station is needed in order to provide proper cover for the sanitary sewer extensions to the new users. Existing rip rap along the wastewater pond berms would be removed and replaced to provide proper erosion control. The access road would also be improved by adding aggregate surfacing and geotextile fabric to the roadway. The proposed stormwater project will include minor grading and installation of curb and gutter to facilitate proper drainage along the city streets. Storm sewer pipe, catch basins, and storm manholes would also be added to the city roads using standard open cut construction methods. This will reduce the amount of water near homes and on city streets that have experienced standing water in the past due to poor drainage in these areas. The existing storm pond will also need to be expanded or dug deeper in order to provide enough storage for the increased amount of water that will be conveyed to the pond by the storm sewer pipes and curb and gutters.

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Otsego The project consists of preliminary design, final design, and construction of drinking water treatment improvements for the City of Otsego. Treatment will be added to remove manganese, radium, and iron and will include process equipment, piping, valves and appurtenances, mechanical and electrical systems, site work and architectural. The City's current drinking water system consists of water from wells that are treated with chemicals to control bacteria and add fluoride. Other parameters such as radium and manganese are not removed due to a lack of filtration infrastructure to remove these constituents. All of the City's wells have radium present and some exceed the primary drinking water standard. The City blends well water and limits the use of some wells to meet National Primary Drinking Water Regulations through compliance with a blending agreement with the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH is the drinking water quality regulatory authority for Minnesota.). Manganese has recently been identified as a constituent of concern for human health, and several City wells have manganese concentrations above the recommended threshold. The purpose of the water treatment improvements is to add processes to an existing well pump house to remove radium and manganese. Otsego MN $3,400,000 Website Letter

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Elizabeth Elizabeth draws its water from two wells that supply the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) at 100 gallons per minute. Well #1 was drilled in 2008 to a depth of 212 feet. Well #2 was drilled in 1979 to a depth of 200 feet and was later rehabilitated with a new pump and wiring in 2007 during WTP construction. The City uses variable frequency drives (VFDs) on its high service pumps to supply system distribution pressure and has no water tower. The current water distribution system consists of older polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe and is approximately 45 years old. The City experiences at least one to two breaks per year in the piping system and the water main and service lines must be replaced. The existing wastewater collection system was televised and was found to contain numerous sags, cracks, defective service connections, root intrusions, excessive infiltration, and pipe segments with inadequate or even adverse slopes. A manhole needs to be replaced due to a 3' diameter tree growing over the top of the cover while the tree roots protrude into the manhole and restrict flow in the main. These defects have the potential to cause failure of the sewer or backups into buildings. Wastewater treatment is provided by a 3 cell stabilization pond system, with two primary cells and one secondary cell. The treatment facility has an inadequate fence and inadequate rip rap for erosion prevention in the pond cells and has recently received a notice of violation on the system.

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Fosston The City of Fosston is in dire need of expanding their wastewater treatment system to accommodate the needs of growing employers and the current lack of winter storage for wastewater. The project will cost $13,168,709. The project has been in the planning stage since 2017. Fosston is requesting $4,000,000 of federal funding, or 30% of the total project cost. Fosston will borrow $4,168,709, or 32%, for the local cost share. The remaining $5,000,000, or 38%, is expected from a state grant. The Fosston Industrial Park provides 442 jobs, or 28% of Fosston's 1,571 residents. Three key businesses, employing 131 persons, are engaged in the essential industry of food processing - vegetables, dairy products, and sweeteners. These employers have expressed a desire to expand. The project has been on the state's Project Priority List (PPL) since January 2020 and is on the Clean Water Revolving Fund's Intended Use Plan (IUP). Originally constructed in 1964 the wastewater treatment facility has critical issues with winter storage and phosphorous. Wastewater flows have increased to 596,000 gallons on peak days, which is 21% over permit limits (494,000 gallons per day). It is critical Fosston receives funding now to complete this project in 2023. The $4 million federal investment will help construct two new wastewater treatment ponds. The first pond would be 16-acres with the second pond sized at 20-acres. They will be constructed on property owned by the city and adjacent to the existing wastewater ponds.

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of West Union The City of West Union's current lack of publicly owned wastewater infrastructure is risking a threat of contamination to groundwater and the environment. The City of West Union is an unsewered community. They do not have a publicly owned wastewater infrastructure system which has resulted in the failure to protect groundwater due to leaking and non-conforming ISTS systems. The City of West Union requires the design and construction of a sanitary sewer collection and wastewater treatment systems to protect the health and safety of their residents and the environment. Each property in West Union has a privately-owned subsurface individual sewage treatment system (ISTS). Currently 39 subsurface sewage treatment systems existing in West Union. Recent compliance inspections were conducted on a sampling of 7 properties scattered throughout West Union. All 7 failed, 5 of these due to leaking tanks below operating levels, and all 7 due to non-conforming soils. In summary, , 27 systems were classified as failure to protect groundwater, 5 of these also having setback issues. And 3 of the remaining having setback issues due to lack of available property to install a new conforming ISTS. A new centralized gravity wastewater collection system is proposed. Wastewater would be collected from each home or entity and discharge to a centralized lift station that will then pump sewage into a new 2-celled wastewater treatment pond.

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Sacred Heart "The city requires funding to support improvements to their Drinking Water Treatment Facility which was originally constructed in 1969. Sacred Heart received a Notice of Violation for their DWTF backwash being discharged into the storm sewer system. This is concerning because of the high concentration of chlorides that were in the discharge. The DWTF has an ion exchange salt softener that processes an average of 60,000 gallons of water per day. The ion softener requires 40,000 lbs. of salt approximately every 41 days. To resolve the NOV, discharge from the DWTF has been rerouted through their sanitary sewer system. Unfortunately, the Wastewater Treatment Plant does not have the capability to treat for chlorides . The chlorides in the wastewater are ultimately being discharged into a stream that enters the Minnesota River. The Minnesota River enters the Mississippi thereby creating an environmental impact of State and National significance. Sacred Heart has recently discovered the full extent of the issues with their water tower. It is covered in lead paint and is not compliant with current OSHA standards. A rehabilitation project is planned to bring the tower up to current standards." Sacred Heart MN $4,977,000 Website Letter
Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Partners for Affordable Housing We propose to build an appropriately sized shelter to house the individuals and families who are considered homeless by HUD and State of MN standards each and every evening, throughout the year. Low-income persons, of all ages, who face numerous barriers to safe, stable housing, also experience challenges with many other areas of their life, preventing them from leading a healthy, productive life. Additionally, a significant barrier in our community is the number of diverse individuals who are homeless and/or low-income, is disproportionate to the demographics of all of our residents. The building that will be constructed provides private sleeping spaces, shared spaces such as play, living, dining, bathroom and laundry spaces for an estimated 40 households with creatively designed sleep spaces that are flexible to expand to meet the needs of different-sized families or those with cognitive needs. Additionally, the space would provide room for community and group collaboration and skills-building, as well as space for our team to office. A space to promote healthy relationships and positive play, we will have indoor and outdoor spaces for people to gather, play, study and explore, while we work to reduce isolation and conflict. And finally, we seek space to incorporate wrap around services such as mental and physical health practitioners, space for client and worker meetings and safe parental hand-off. Built in downtown Mankato, the building will be close to transportation, child care, schools, city and county services, other partner agencies, food and employment.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies YWCA St. Paul YWCA St. Paul (YWCA) has served the City of St. Paul and Ramsey County since 1907 and operates from headquarters on Selby Avenue. We seek funds for the rehabilitation & preservation of supportive housing building sites (for families coming out of homelessness) that we own and operate primarily within the boundaries of (what is considered the heart of the old) Rondo neighborhood of St. Paul. This is a shovel-ready project, already started in 2019 with funding from the St Paul Neighborhood STAR Program and the Hardenbergh Foundation. Funds from Senator Klobuchar's Congressionally Directed Spending would enable us to complete the repairs necessary for us to remain in compliance with our partner St. Paul Housing Authority. Our efforts to maintain these older structures (most built ca. 1920-1940s) with limited resources has led to buildings with significant deficiencies. Many of the repairs on this project are outstanding compliance issues that require immediate resolution. This project will also ensure YWCA complies w/ all applicable health and safety standards. Our 9 property sites must meet Housing Quality Standards & are inspected by St. Paul Public Housing Authority. In addition, some of the units are also inspected by Federal HOME Loan Bank of Des Moines. Failure to pass inspections can result in abatement of units & loss of state & federal funding, ultimately forcing displacement of current & precluding future tenants. We simply cannot allow this to happen. St. Paul MN $1,500,000 Website Letter

Senator Klobuchar MN Financial Services and General Government Community Action Center "The Community Action Center (CAC) is requesting CDS funds to place a substance abuse disorder (SUD) support specialist in a local high school. The Area Learning Center (ALC) in the rural town of Northfield, MN needs a new program to 1) prevent the onset of illegal drug use and 2) reduce barriers to high quality, effective treatment and recovery services. ALC Director Daryl Kehler estimates that 20-25% of the 137 students at the ALC, an alternative-curriculum high school, use illicit substances daily. Unfortunately, conventional clinical treatment programs have proven ineffective. The number of students willing to work with the ALC's current clinical partner has dwindled to zero, leaving a gap between students in need and clinical services. The Community Action Center (CAC) plans to bridge this gap. CDS funding will allow us to hire a full-time, youth-focused, SUD recovery specialist. Building on CAC's successful SUD recovery services for adults, and an existing presence at the ALC, this staff member will offer trauma-responsive relational support and referrals to clinical and social services. The SUD support specialist will be a part of CAC's growing recovery team, which currently includes one Family Recovery Support Coordinator and two AmeriCorps Recovery Navigators. Just as important as what this staff member will do is how. The SUD recovery support specialist will offer trauma-responsive, relational support. With motivational interviewing, this staff person will work with students to identify their strengths and aspirations, and then come up with a plan to meet the latter with the former."

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Midwest Minnesota Community Development Corporatio "Much of the existing affordable housing in Frazee is in poor condition, as demonstrated by the loss of livability standards from the Becker County EDA at two of the mobile home parks. Without that, residents are unable to access housing vouchers, making those unattainable for people in need of assistance. Availability of affordable rental housing in Frazee is especially sparse. While land is generally not overly expensive in rural areas, building costs are quite high due to material prices being substantially higher, and sometimes unavailable, and labor being in short supply. Manufactured housing is one of the few remaining options to provide truly affordable housing. With this request, we are seeking to acquire and renovate one of two existing parks, improve the infrastructure, and replace many of the units with newer units that will meet livability standards. This is important to provide adequate housing to some of our lowest income residents, and to provide a safe and supportive environment to their children, as well as to make the community attractive for bringing new businesses into town."

The requested funding will allow for the remediation of segments of the Merriam Junction Regional Trail, along the banks of the Minnesota River, which will promote recreational activities and serve pedestrians and outdoor enthusiasts year round. The trail and river crossing initiative was identified as a need and master-planned by Scott and Carver Counties in 2011, and the abandoned railway was subsequently acquired in partnership with the Metropolitan Council. It was identified and approved as a part of the regional trail system and as an important component for bridging gaps on the Scott and Carver County trail networks. The Minnesota River serves as a barrier to accessible outdoor recreation opportunities throughout the Minnesota River Valley in Scott County, despite the large network of state and federal public parks and conservation lands. The accessible trail will run through the Minnesota Valley landscape, along the Minnesota River, and adjacent to both the Louisville Swamp Unit of the MN Valley National Wildlife Refuge and the Gifford Lake Unit of the MN Valley State Recreation Area.

The City's population alone has grown 65% since 2000. As a part of this growth, the community identified in its 2016 Comprehensive Plan a future transportation network that serves as the foundation for facilitation of new growth and providing East to West and North to South connections in developing areas of Sartell. This future transportation network includes the extension of 15th Street North between Pinecone Road North and 30th Avenue North (otherwise known as Townline Road/7th Avenue), to be completed in two phases. This extension will provide a necessary East to West connection and will impact multiple regional partners. A study was completed in 2017 by the St Cloud APO to proactively measure and determine feasibility of this valuable road expansion. The recent development of the ISD 748 Sartell/St. Stephen High School in the northern limits of Sartell has exponentially increased the need for this corridor expansion, for connection, mobility, and for safety reasons. This project has completed extensive community and public engagement to determine the appropriate route, preferred bike/pedestrian models, and design elements. This included listening sessions with eleven affected property owners along the extension, two pop-up events for community members to attend, a focus group meeting attended by twenty-eight residents, and a final open house event to review the selected route and design elements.

Senator Klobuchar MN Financial Services and General Government West Broadway Business and Area Coalition "Minnesota's immigrant and BIPOC communities face systemic barriers to economic equity as a result of employer discrimination, higher unemployment rates (regardless of economic conditions), lower annual earnings, and occupational segregation (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis 2020/2022). At the same time, immigrant and BIPOC communities account for much of Minnesota's labor force growth in recent years, and their participation is critical to addressing the state's increasingly dire talent shortages (Minnesota DEED). But even as local employers develop newfound interest in hiring overlooked communities, they often lack the cultural and self-awareness to revise internal policies to allow for more inclusive hiring practices. The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) advocates for streamlined integration of adult education, career services, employer engagement, and postsecondary training systems. Most government agencies, however, fail to fund these aspirations, and singularly prioritize the attainment of industry-recognized credentials at the expense of the many foundational components needed to prepare disadvantaged persons (and employers) for career and educational success. To combat this multifaceted issue, CAPI requests $500,000 in Congressionally-Directed Spending to provide comprehensive work readiness, Adult Basic Education, employer engagement, and ""bridge"" training programs to 200 immigrant, refugee, and BIPOC persons via its Immigrant Opportunity Center initiative."

Then, in March 2020, as we were exploring ways to replace the roof-a significant undertaking for a non-profit organization that relies upon the shifting trends of the ticket-buying public-Covid 19 arrived in Minnesota.

The site will increase efficiencies and streamline processes for annually receiving and distributing over 4 million pounds of food, including food rescue items and federal commodities, to 50,000 unduplicated residents by 2024 - a significant increase over the 28,000 people served pre pandemic and the 39,000 served in 2021 during the pandemic - and help meet the increased demand for food assistance and support services in the coming years due to the economic impact from the pandemic. Keystone's plan for a new Community Food Site was born during an extensive community engagement process in 2019 that included input from over 700 community members. One thing came through loud and clear: Ramsey County needs more food resources and Keystone should expand to provide these resources. With the cost of food and other household monthly expenses rising every month, the need is even more urgent. The design of the new Community Food Site has numerous advantages that respond to specific needs identified during community engagement, including greater capacity to capture existing food resources, greater functionality for residents using on-site resources, expanded capacity for mobile food distributions throughout the community, and leverage more volunteers.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Rondo Community Land Trust Rondo Community Land Trusts requests $1,000,000 in support of a mixed-use development project located at 642 Selby Avenue in St. Paul's historic Rondo neighborhood. The site is currently home to E&J Cleaners, owned by the Beasley family who started the business in 1990. For 32 years they ran a successful black-owned business providing a needed service to the community. As they prepared to retire and sell the building, the Beasley's reached out directly to Rondo CLT to ensure the property continued to bring value to the local community and not fall prey to the speculation of outside investors building luxury condos and driving displacement of historic Rondo residents. The vision for the property, currently under purchase agreement, is a new construction mixed-used development featuring affordable commercial space and 40 units of housing made affordable to individuals and families at 30%-80%AMI. Thanks to the land trust model, Rondo CLT will contribute an affordability investment to drive down the cost for both residential and commercial tenants/owners. We expect to complete acquisition of the site by June 2022 and move into site demolition thereafter. The purpose of our project is to foster inclusive economic development within economic and cultural corridors (i.e. Selby Avenue in Rondo), support communities as authors of equitable site development and importantly contribute to closing the gap in affordable housing access in our community.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Minnesota China Friendship Garden Society The Phalen Regional Park - China Friendship Garden - East Corridor Cultural Community Development Project is both a culturally-focused urban community development project and an educational public arts space designed and developed in collaboration with local Chinese and Hmong communities. Funding is requested for construction of three key capital improvements for Phase II of the China Friendship Garden at Phalen Regional Park: (1) East Moon Gate Entrance Wall, (2) Classic Chinese Arched Moon Bridge across Phalen Creek, and (3) Xiang Jiang Mountain Stream with pathways, seating, and plantings flowing from Xiang Jiang Pavilion to Phalen Creek. Together these capital improvements will create a corridor from the bike and pedestrian paths around the shore of Lake Phalen to the East Entrance of the China Garden and through the Garden crossing Phalen Creek to Picnic Island. This project is unique in the United States. No other public project of this type exists in which Chinese and Hmong communities are collaborating in its realization. This Phase of the Garden will include a Hmong Plaza (funded from other sources) and with the 3 improvements listed above will significantly improve regional and local community connectivity to Phalen Regional Park amenities. On completion, this project will provide significant social, cultural and economic value not only as a Statewide and National destination, but especially for underrepresented Chinese, Hmong, and diverse communities in St Paul's East Side neighborhoods. It will create a "living classroom" for cultural education and a place of celebration for numerous community and family events. St. Paul MN $1,800,000 Website Letter
Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies African Economic Development Solutions The Little Africa Plaza project is the substantial rehabilitation of a vacant, condemned 1925 building at 678 North Snelling in St. PO to house a business support center and food hub serving the Twin Cities' diverse African immigrant communities, the third largest African immigrant population in the U.S. Just under 100,000 people, speaking over 25 languages, the median household income of this group is less than half that of the metro area. AEDS provides micro loans, technical assistance, business, and homebuyer education, in the seven most common languages, to an average of 300 African entrepreneurs each year, retaining and creating over 1,000 jobs. The mission of AEDS is to create wealth within the African immigrant community. The job creation roles of small businesses are critical in immigrant communities where language and formal education barriers lock many individuals out of the wider job market. The project will house a grocery store stocking cultural foods and Halal meat, two retail spaces, two community/training rooms, a media production studio, rental offices/cubicles for emerging businesses and office space for AEDS technical assistance and lending staff. The grocery will operate as a food hub: purchasing, displaying, and marketing products from local African farmers, distributors, and manufacturers. Operation as a food hub increases business to business transactions, and will lead the introduction of African cuisine to the majority community. The building is a physical and social anchor for the Little Africa Cultural district along Snelling Avenue, demonstrating the use of art and culture to drive economic development.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board The North Commons Community Center will offer residents of the northside neighborhoods of Minneapolis a new recreation and community gathering facility. The concept for the building, which is an approved direction of the Board of Commissioners, includes a new community center, a waterpark renovation and expansion, a new parking area, and the removal of the existing recreation center. The facility is proposed as a part of North Commons Park, which is situated in a neighborhood with some of the lowest wealth in Minneapolis, along with one of the highest population percentages of people of color. In addition, the area around the park and the neighborhood is one where personal safety is of paramount concern. The new community center will provide a fieldhouse-like gymnasium, capable of supporting tournaments and events in a setting unlike anything else in the Minneapolis park system. It gives youth in the neighborhood a venue that inspires their participation in programs and services offered through the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board and other partner organizations. In particular, the new facility will provide a water-oriented recreation experience including youth aquatic play features such as a splash pad, deep pool, water slides, and "lazy river."

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Servants of Shelter of Koochiching County The Northern Lights PSH and Shelter would convert a local family owned motel into 22 units of desperately needed housing. This would include six units of emergency shelter, and 13 units of permanent housing in an area dubbed the "Icebox of the Nation". Prior to Covid, Koochiching County was already experiencing a severe housing shortage. The pandemic and prolonged border closures have made our housing and economic prospects even more challenging. The Northern Lights project has the ability to provide much needed economic stability to the most vulnerable in our community and has widespread community support. Servants of Shelter operates the only emergency shelter and permanent supportive housing in 100 miles in any direction. We have an established history (12 years) of operating low barrier, dignified, well maintained, housing that offers a warm safe place for our guests and tenants to build stability. It is our years of successfully supporting our community members, and the overwhelming need that have caused our City Council members, County Commissioners, law enforcement, mental health providers, healthcare, and social service providers, and housing providers to stand behind this project. We simply lack the financial means to provide the capital funding ourselves, but have been able to raise almost $200,000 towards the project and have committed to the ongoing staffing and operational costs of the project for the long term benefit of our community. Thank you for considering the housing, health, and safety needs of our community. International Falls MN $280,000 Website Letter
Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies People Serving People People Serving People (PSP) is Minnesota's largest and most comprehensive family shelter. Located in Minneapolis' Downtown East neighborhood, the facility's Emergency Shelter and Permanent Supportive Housing program were opened to families in 2002 at its current location. PSP offers 99 hotel style emergency shelter rooms with private bathrooms and lockable doors for security and dignity. In addition, PSP has 10 two-bedroom apartments for families that need more permanent, supportive housing options. PSP owns the facility and nearly all of the equipment required to operate it, including capital-intensive building systems and the overwhelming majority of trade fixtures relied upon to deliver Emergency Shelter, Permanent Supportive Housing, and related programming services. While the building itself is structurally sound, free of major defects and in good working condition, many of its major systems and components are approaching the end of their service lives or are past retirement. This is true for the buildings' three elevators that were installed in 2002 during the shelter's initial renovation, including two elevators used by shelter guests and staff and a service elevator. With this in mind PSP's Facility Renewal Plan lays out a list of critical investments in the shelter that need to be made between 2020-2030 in order to maintain health and safety and foster PSP's ability to heal families and transform communities. This project will allow PSP to conduct essential rehabilitation and improvements to each of its three elevators to ensure continued safety and operability and capacity to serve families experiencing homelessness in Hennepin County.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Ecolibrium3 The Lincoln Park Resilience Hub and Main Street Connector project advances the health, equity, and sustainability of a very low-income neighborhood experiencing significant health, economic, and educational disparities. The project has three interwoven components including 1) completion of the LNPK Resilience Hub, 2) accessibility, streetscape, and mobility improvements surrounding the Hub, and 3) planning funds to engage diverse neighborhood residents in designing a health corridor between the Resilience Hub and Lincoln Park's main street (W Superior St), in preparation for the reconstruction of Highway 53 that divides the neighborhood. The LNPK Resilience Hub is a 15,000 s.f. facility attached to 215 units of public housing. The center was vastly underutilized prior to the pandemic and then closed. It is being redeveloped to serve as a shared spaces facility to meet the service and social connectedness needs of the community including adding tele-health, tele-legal aid, healthcare navigation, workforce training, housing services, senior services, winter shelter, community computer access and broadband, and a Black Leadership hub. The Hub will be improved to serve as an emergency shelter and service site during times of disaster through resilient power solutions. Accessing services and providing strong connections into the economic center of the neighborhood integrates the actively revitalizing Craft Business District and the Lincoln Park neighborhood through establishment of accessible sidewalks, streetscape improvements for safety, and micro-mobility hubs. Finally, investment in community-led planning resources will establish a foundation for unifying a neighborhood separated by highway construction, while expanding wellness resources, and overall connectivity.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Northside Economic Opportunity Network (NEON) We request funding to purchase the building we now occupy. This project is crucial to NEON's mission of building wealth for low- to moderate-income entrepreneurs in North Minneapolis and the surrounding area. NEON exists to overcome systemic disinvestment in the Northside, an area labeled as "Negro" on official city maps, and thus denied equitable access to real estate, capital and other wealth-building opportunities. In 2019, we identified access to affordable real estate as a major barrier for the mostly Black entrepreneurs we serve. We conducted a Site Acquisition Financial Feasibility Study to begin the process of acquiring the building at 1007 and 1011 West Broadway Ave N. The purpose of this site acquisition project is to: Cement NEON's permanence as a Northside institution that not only provides hands-on, one-to-one, tailored technical assistance and capital investments to 1,000+ entrepreneurs a year but also serves the broader community by providing a centralized, accessible community resource to host meetings, client marketplace and pop-ups, and private events. Ensure the availability of affordable commercial real estate for the 1,000+ clients we serve annually. Allow us to renovate the building to minimize future operating and maintenance costs, optimize spaces for heightened productivity, and ensure security for NEON staff, co-working space members and clients. Enhance spaces and technology to increase our usable space from 6,560 square feet to 16,222 square feet and boost rental suite revenue; enhance print and copy services; and create more space for shared conference rooms, kitchenette, and a full-time receptionist.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Mid-Minnesota Women's Center, Inc. Since our founding in 1978, Mid-Minnesota Women's Center, Inc. has experienced tremendous growth. We have become a trusted partner of and leader to many agencies by working with survivors and children. Building on our strong partnerships and with our approach of providing the best victim-centered and trauma-informed services possible, we support our clients as they transform their lives. If we received Congressionally Directed Spending funds, we could take that opportunity to evolve our organization into something that embodies our hopes and dreams for the future - to construct The Relationship Safety Alliance Campus. This project would allow us to provide services to more victim/survivors in Region 5 who are otherwise either provided temporary housing in local hotels or turned away because our 6 bedroom/26 bed facility is almost always full. It would also allow us to remove transportation, housing and other barriers by offering all of our services in one physical location. Recognizing that our client demographic has changed since our founding and now includes men, older adults experiencing relationship abuse from younger generations and individuals that may not identify with traditional terms, this funding would allow us to construct an apartment-style shelter in order to provide private, welcoming and equitable residential space to all people.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Oslo Region Joint Powers Board "For an 8-minute video summary of the project, please see fixtheflood.org The Red River of the North 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 trunk Hwy 54, 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. This 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.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Safe Haven Shelter for Battered Women Safe Haven Shelter for Battered Women (Safe Haven) constructed our 39-bed, 10-bedroom, 6-bathroom emergency shelter over twenty years ago on the premise that communal spaces were conducive to moving successfully forward to a life free of violence. Shared spaces for peer support were practical and welcomed, and as such, our shelter is a fully congregate facility. Our largest bedroom can accommodate twelve individuals, and all bathrooms are shared among our forty guests. Our shelter was originally designed to house survivors for a maximum of thirty days, however as the years progressed, the needs of victims and their children became more complicated and keeping multiple families in small spaces for such a significant length of time (up to 100 days) added a layer of substantial concern for many reasons, but especially in regard to COVID-19 when the guidance has consistently been exactly the opposite in keeping families healthy. In response, our typically full bedrooms needed to be emptied to minimum capacity, restricting our 39-guest capacity to one family/one single adult per room, a 3/4 reduction in ability to serve victims on-site. At the same time, demand for our services increased by 23%. This reality was unacceptable, and all of our efforts shifted to addressing a much needed renovation to restore our ability to serve at maximum capacity and then some.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Minneapolis Lead and Healthy Homes This request would establish a voluntary assessment fund to allow property owners to fund lead elimination and healthy homes work that would benefit tenants, and especially children. The City of Minneapolis has pulled together matching sources of funding to fund healthy homes work but there is often a balance left even after incentives that low to moderate income tenants and property owners can't cover. This fund would give them a tool to get the necessary work done to protect the health of children in a home before those children come in contact with health hazards, primarily lead paint. This request is complimentary to other city, state and federal dollars and would accelerate preventative work by filling a missing funding gap. This request is a crucial piece of an aggressive citywide strategy to eliminate lead poisoning in Minneapolis by 2035. Minneapolis MN $2,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Habitat for Humanity of Morrison County Habitat for Humanity of Morrison County (HFHMC) has advanced affordable housing in Morrison County for the last 24 years by serving lower-income families who were homeless or living in inadequate living environments. Currently there are three revenue streams sustaining HFHMC: Fundraisers, the mortgages from previous built homes and private donations. With the continuing escalated costs of building supplies, building affordable homes is challenging. Habitat's mission is to shelter and provide a simple, decent home. Even the simplest of homes costs 60% more to build than it cost two years ago. With the inclusion of Project ReStore, another revenue stream will be provided to provide for further sustainability. Project ReStore will provide a thrift-type store with adequate space to accept donations of used building materials, used furniture and other miscellaneous items that can be repurposed for sale to the public. We will hire part-time staff to oversee the donations, make repairs to items as needed so they are acceptable for sale and rent adequate space to allow for business transactions. Since all items for resale will be donated, costs incurred will be overhead expenses. There have been many on-going calls to HFHMC to receive items such as furniture, used-working appliances and items for repurpose but starting this venture takes extra funding and staff time, both of which are in short supply.

Carver County, in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Transportation, the Cities of Victoria, Chanhassen, and Chaska, and the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, completed a major planning study in 2021. The Arboretum Area Transportation Plan identifies this project as part of the long-range vision for this area of Carver County which expects to add significant growth to the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. www.co.carver.mn.us/ArboretumAreaTransportationPlan This project will expand an existing 2-lane section of Highway 5 to a 4-lane expressway between Steiger Lake Road in Victoria through the intersection of Trunk Highway 41. The project includes construction of a new 1,900-foot-long bridge to replace the existing section of roadway section dividing Lake Minnewashta and reconnect the lake. Also, new pedestrian underpasses in several locations will connect a regional route through the project area and tie it into other existing regional trails. See link for the project summary. Highway 5 carries 27,000 vehicles (800 heavy commercial) a day, currently serving a demand 50% above a 2-lane section threshold. Within the project area, 187 crashes occurred between 2014-2018 which is 2.5x state average for similar roadways. Mobility is severely underserved resulting in common 2-mile backups. With no improvement, by 2040 there will be 180,000+ hrs/yr in peak period delay. This project will reduce delays by 70% and reduce crashes with capacity expansion and access management."

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Minneapolis The City of Minneapolis Public Works Department has been constructing pedestrian curb ramps since 1970. When initially constructed, the pedestrian curb ramps were consistent with the design criteria of that time. However, ongoing modifications to ADA criteria and guidance has resulted in a large number of pedestrian curb ramps that no longer comply with the 2010 ADA Standards. Overall, Minneapolis has jurisdiction over 17,800 ramps. According to the pedestrian curb ramp inventory that was completed as part of the 2020 ADA Transition Plan for Public Works, approximately 6200 ramps are in good condition - equivalent to ~35% of all pedestrian curb ramps within Minneapolis.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Minneapolis Public Housing Authority The Minneapolis Public Housing Authority operates 42 public housing high-rises and receives annual funding from Congressional appropriations for capital improvements. Historically, MPHA has only received 10% of the funding it needs to complete major building improvements and the current capital backlog in MPHA's portfolio is estimated to be over $160M. Over 70% of the public housing high-rise residents are elderly (62+) and 80% are people of color. The population in MPHA high-rise communities is among the most vulnerable, with high health disparities and higher rates of mortality when contracting COVID-19. Throughout the pandemic, MPHA high-rise residents have spent more time in their homes rather than socializing with their community and surrounding neighborhood. Prolonged periods of isolation have negative effects on emotional and mental wellbeing. The COVID pandemic brought attention to the air filtration systems within MPHA's aging portfolio of public housing high-rises. Specifically, there is a major need to improve and upgrade air filtration systems to provide cleaner, healthier air to residents. A lack of adequate air filtration and ventilation can trigger allergic reactions and asthma, cardiovascular disease; health conditions that black people experience 42% more often than whites and people in poverty experience 11% more often.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Oslo Region Joint Powers Board "For an 8-minute video summary of the project, please see fixtheflood.org The Red River of the North 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 trunk Hwy 54, 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. This 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. The first of the 3-phase project is to replace the 1905 railroad bridge and adjacent restrictive highway bridges at Oslo and 17/317, as well as the smaller bridge on Hwy 54.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans MACV requests funds to convert the Snelling Motel, located across the street from the VAMC in Minneapolis, into affordable housing for Veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. These funds would supplement state, local, and philanthropic support to acquire and convert hotel rooms into efficiency apartments suitable for long-term residence, creating new affordable housing options for Veterans emerging from homelessness. This project builds on an existing partnership between the current owners of the Snelling Motel and MACV. At the outset of the coronavirus pandemic, MACV established an emergency hotel shelter program to get Veterans temporarily housed in hotel units to reduce their risk of contracting and spreading COVID-19. We found the owners of the Snelling Motel one of our most reliable partners in this new service area for MACV. They have shown willingness to support our work serving Veterans who have difficulties navigating social interactions, hygiene standards, or other challenges to successful tenancy in mainstream housing. The family who owns the Snelling Motel took this partnership even further in recent months by engaging with MACV regarding the sale of the motel to MACV at a reduced price relative to recent offers by for-profit property development companies. MACV would utilize a combination of state, local, and philanthropic resources to for the actual purchase of the property. This request would fund the estimated cost of approximately $25,000 per unit for converting the current facilities into independent permanent housing units suitable for long-term habitation.

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Boyd "The City of Boyd has infrastructure that is over 40 years old and many portions have reached the end of their useful life due to their advanced age and the deteriorating conditions. Deteriorating and leaking watermain pipe and service saddles have contributed to the loss of approximately 30% of the water Boyd residents and businesses have purchased from Lincoln-Pipestone Rural Water (LPRW). Considering the condition of the service saddles and pipe, it is likely that watermain issues will increase in frequency and severity leading to disruptions in service, increased potential for contamination, and costly emergency repairs. A deteriorating and leaking watermain system is environmentally and financially wasteful. Portions of Boyd's storm sewer system are ineffective and have contributed to flooding of both private and public properties in several areas of the City. Continued deterioration of the storm sewer system will increase the intensity and severity of damage to property and safety risk to residents. Replacing the deteriorated storm sewer system will alleviate flooding issues, increase public safety, and reduce the amount of time and resources the City of Boyd spends on maintaining the system and addressing flooding issues.

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 their 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.

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Wood Lake "Wood Lake began planning for a major citywide utility infrastructure improvements project in mid-2016 due to significant citywide utility concerns, including: outdated watermain dating back to 1927 with asbestos and lead issues, significant defects in the sewer main, major flooding events due to inadequate storm sewer, and multiple critical health & safety hazards associated with deteriorating sanitary lift stations and forcemains. Wood Lake's sewer project was ranked #2 on MPCA's CWRF 2020 PPL at 93 points and we have three water projects currently on MDH's DWRF 2020 PPL list. The project has been broken into multiple stages with construction beginning in 2021 for Phase One and an additional phase to follow. The City has secured funding for the majority of the water and wastewater utility systems. However, there is a still a major gap in the funding needed for storm and street work. With the debt the city is incurring with the drinking water and wastewater upgrades, our residents cannot afford additional debt for storm and street which would leave our project ultimately unfinished. This funding request would fill this gap and allow us to fully complete the project. " Wood Lake MN $8,690,000 Website Letter
Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Tracy, MN Federal funds will be used to reconstruct Runway 11/29 and relocate the two thresholds to improve safety and protect its future utility. The funds will also be used to construct a 650' long 4'x6' box culvert to maintain necessary water flow of the stream, while bringing the RSA into compliance with FAA dimensional requirements. The stream is not regulated by City, Township, County, or State requirements, and it is not a state or federally protected waterway.

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Lamberton The City of Lamberton, MN needs funding for the extension of City Sewer and Water to service its Industrial Park and a large industrial user. The City of Lamberton has zoned city owned property just outside of current city sewer and water services. This industrial park is intended to attract new business to the community to create jobs, retain residents, and increase the City's tax capacity to help fund necessary repair to its aging infrastructure. Due to its current tax base and above average debt to resident ratio, Lamberton has been unable to fund the much-needed sewer and water extension required to attract new business necessary to keep the town viable. Infrastructure projects are costly on a per-business basis and often limit a city's ability to acquire the anchor business for industrial park growth.

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Hanley Falls "The City of Hanley Falls, MN needs funding for replacement of existing drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, and street infrastructure. Portions of the existing system are over 100 years old and are in very poor condition. The existing drinking water distribution system contains not only lead service lines, but lead-caulked joints in the watermains. The sanitary sewer system is comprised of old clay tile pipe and Orangeburg pipe, which, in non-technical terms, is best compared to a tar-soaked cardboard tube. Infiltration due to the poor condition of the sanitary sewer, combined with several direct connections from the stormwater system, results in frequent bypassing of raw wastewater into the Yellow Medicine River and backups into homes. The existing streets are in poor condition and require replacement along with the underground piping. Federal funds will be used to fund the design and construction of replacement drinking water distribution, sanitary sewer collection, stormwater collection, and street infrastructure. Piping to be replaced includes approximately 2/3 of the drinking water distribution system, approximately 3/4 of the wastewater collection system, and approximately 1/2 of the storm sewer system."

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Olmsted County The project consists of a proposed interchange at CSAH 44 (formerly County Road 104) 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. Engineering services are underway for environmental documentation, design, and right of way acquisition. Construction is anticipated to begin in FY24 and this funding request will support completion of engineering services (preliminary and final design) and right-of-way acquisition in FY23.

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Russell "Due to aging and deteriorating infrastructure, the City of Russell is planning a citywide utilities project including a new water tower, upgrades to its drinking water distribution, wastewater, and stormwater systems, along with corresponding street work. Portions of Russell's drinking water distribution system are more than 85 years old and in failing condition. Russell's water tower was built in 1935 and at the end of its useful life. In 2015, televising revealed the wastewater system was in poor condition with several areas requiring immediate attention due to deteriorating conditions, pooling, and spillage of untreated wastewater. Our city is also prone to flooding during heavy rain events due to deteriorating storm sewer lines and inadequate capacity. Russell's city leaders are working to secure funding for the water and wastewater utility systems. While a large portion of these two systems improvements will meet funding requirements for federal and state grant and loan programs, there will still be a major gap in the funding needed for storm and street work. These items are not grant fundable by other federal and state agencies. With the debt the city will be incurring with the drinking water and wastewater upgrades, our residents cannot afford additional debt for storm and street which would leave our project ultimately unfinished.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Wabasha "The City of Wabasha is requesting a project that would not only have implications for regional road infrastructure but have an important economic development impact for the community and its downtown. The City is proposing a project that would construct a new roadway segment that would allow for realignment of Trunk Highway 60 within the city. This would route dangerous truck traffic away from residential areas and create a more efficient route. The current route is subject to frequent flooding and has created numerous crashes, the most recent one documented in 2020. Additionally, the athletic field, currently in major disrepair and located in the proposed re-route area, would be re-located to city-owned land, allowing for a newly rebuilt recreational facility that would help positively engage youth year-round (baseball fields, volleyball, a hockey rink, and skate park). Finally, the land surrounding the new highway would have new public infrastructure added to incentive future residential and commercial growth that is desperately needed by the community. This includes the creation of trail connectivity to parks, dredging of a slough to create cleaner water habitat and restore a Mississippi backwater for recreation, and bringing in dredged material to create berms and elevations out of the flood plain. The total cost for this project highway project is $6,400,000. For all phases of the project, total is $10,800,000. The City is requesting $1,000,000 from this request. The other sources of financing for this project are: City bonding, State bonding funding, and MNDot funds for turnback funding." Wabasha MN $1,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Red Wing, Minnesota "The $2.0 million federal funds ask will be used for capital construction costs for a recreational trail. The project will be built meeting the requirements of the ADA, the Minnesota DOT Bikeways Facility Design Manual and the AASHTO guide for the development of bicycle facilities. The project has been awarded partial federal FHWA funding for engineering investigations, design development, environmental review ($480,000) and capital construction costs ($795,000). The .75 mile recreational trail will be non-motorized and provide the connection for two of Red Wing's riverfront parks; He Mni Can-Barn Bluff Regional Park and Colvill Park. Colvill Park is a multi-function 29 acre city park. The trail will provide an alternate travel way, other than the highway shoulder or a heavily travelled arterial street, in an economically designated Low Income Census tract. It's expected this trail will be heavily utilized by children to travel to and from Colvill Park which includes the city's public swimming aquatic center. This trail corridor segment will abut an area of the Mississippi River known as Colvill Bay along the TH 61 Great River Road Scenic Byway corridor and which is listed as an Important Birding Area. The area is known for birding and draws bird watchers from the region. The trail location is an exceptional location to view many of the 300 species of birds that live and migrate along the Mississippi Flyway.

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Tyler In early 2018, the City of Tyler received heavy rainfall events that resulted in localized flooding. The poor condition of the City's undersized primary wastewater main became apparent from that point on when sewage began to backup in residential basements after every significant rainfall event. It became the City's #1 goal to improve the wastewater infrastructure to reduce environmental and health impacts, ensure long-term economic growth, and keep utility rates for low to moderate-income residents at a reasonable rate. Mid 2019, engineering plans were completed and the project's initial estimate came in at $4.4 million. Due to the cost being more than the city could afford with current debt obligations, the city made the decision to pursue Federal and State grants and made a request for the inclusion in the 2020 MN State Bonding Bill. Being unsuccessful in the February 2021, the city felt that they could no longer wait and decided to proceed with obtaining bids for the project. COVID-19 and the Polar Vortex that struck Texas resulted in a low bid of $7.29 million. The high cost forced the city to seek assistance through the 2022 Bonding Bill and CDS funding. The city is requesting assistance for 50% of the cost of the project which will go towards a Wastewater Rehabilitation project that includes re-routing and replacing 2.3 miles of failing infrastructure and updating the system's primary lift station. Completing this project will improve the overall function of the city's entire wastewater system and ensure community viability. Tyler MN $3,646,000 Website Letter

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Build Wealth Minnesota Inc "Build Wealth MN (BWMN) is a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) and is launching the 9,000 Equities Fund to provide homeownership and financial education, affordable first mortgages or equivalent financing opportunities to households struggling to access mortgage credit in underserved communities of color. The Fund aims to directly address disparity gaps in homeownership and wealth experienced by African Americans in Minnesota. BWM has been providing lending for homeownership in these underserved communities for over 12 years, and its work includes financial literacy, homeownership education, loan origination, processing, underwriting, packaging and assigning to a secondary market partner. Communities of color are an increasing share of the state's population, yet too many of these households are struggling to access the mortgage market. The foreclosure crisis of 2009-2010 fell disproportionately on households of color resulting in significant declines in homeownership rates. Increasing values, lower interest rates, absence of housing stock and the shifts in higher construction cost caused by a healthier real estate market has made it difficult for certain groups to realize the dream of homeownership. The cost to build new homes at an affordable price without major subsidies or accessing favorable loan products has become exceedingly difficult. " Minneapolis MN $2,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Churches United in Ministry (CHUM) The January 2020, St. Louis County Point-in-Time Count revealed that 192 people were staying at an emergency shelter and 284 people were unsheltered. Duluth has 155 shelter beds (47 are in domestic violence shelters) and all shelters operate beyond capacity. CHUM operates the largest Emergency Congregate Shelter and Drop-in Center north of the Twin Cities. We have an 80-bed Congregate Shelter for adults and our staff provide compassionate advocacy to help people meet their basic needs, address the situations that lead to homelessness, and return to housing. In 2018, CHUM lowered shelter barriers to help people with serious Mental Illness and Substance Use Disorder by changing our standard for shelter entry from sobriety-based to behavior-based, as long as our guest's behavior was not dangerous to themselves or others. An unintended consequence of this change is that unhoused people who are working on sobriety, or cannot tolerate overcrowded shelter conditions, or want to avoid potential contact with drug users and dealers, or a former abuser, choose to remain unsheltered. CHUM seeks to expand its shelter facility to create a high barrier shelter by constructing an addition onto the second floor and adding a third floor to its Congregate Shelter/Drop-in Center facility.

Having a safe and reliable electrical system is a necessity, and while the current electrical system is safe and functional, there are critical components that could fail due to normal aging and corrosion (many of these components are also difficult to find replacement parts). In 2019, the PHA hired an electrical consultant to inspect the electrical systems at each of the PHA's 16 hi-rises, and the consultant listed Neill Hi-Rise as a building with a critical need for electrical system modernization. Electrical system replacement at Neill Hi-Rise would include replacement of the building's 58 year old electrical service, switchgear, bus duct, and electrical distribution panels within the building. The work would also include relocation of the existing transformers from their current location within the building (which is a safety concern per Xcel Energy) to a new location on the building's exterior. We would hire an electrical contractor to complete this important life safety work, and we would partner with Xcel Energy in the relocation of the transformers. Saint Paul MN $800,000 Website Letter
Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Women's Shelter & Support Center Southeast Rural Minnesota is in desperate need of resources and advocacy for victims of domestic violence, stalking, dating violence, and sexual assault. We intend to address a victim's ability to access life saving services, safe housing/shelter, and advocacy for individuals living in fear of violence. Current services are limited and the need exacerbated by isolation, COVID19, limited staff/funding to provide services, increase in violence, and an increase of severity of violence. Urban areas are often where primary funding and shelter services are focused, often leaving victims in rural communities without access to the same level of services and safety as their urban counterparts. Funding will allow us to increase our ability to access underserved and underrepresented populations such as BIPOC, Limited English Proficiency, LGBTQ1A, Elderly, Amish, and Male victims that reside in Rural SEMN and provide access to safe housing and services focused on sustaining a life free of violence. Lastly this project would provide our agency with reliable transportation. Allowing us the ability to transport victims from remote areas to safety, transport more than one family, or allow us to transport larger families together vs. having to separate parents from children in multiple cars.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Family Values for Life Family Values for Life is taking bold action to support families in Saint Paul by building an affordable housing complex and service hubthat includes on-site services for families, employment and training opportunities, and a strong sense of community. In our years of working with families to help them chart a path out of crisis, we consistently find stable housing to be a barrier. While Family Values for Life programs help adults build skills and strength through spiritual empowerment, mental alertness, physical fitness, and financial stability, and we witness their growth in these "pillar" areas, they still struggle to find housing. Our current programs build capacities for families to network and leverage resources within their community. We will build on these efforts by developing a "village" that families can depend on.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Duluth There is a pronounced lack of affordable, safe housing in Duluth, especially housing that is for sale. Duluth is a City of just under 90,000 people, and at some points in the past year, there have been fewer than 25 homes for sale at any given time, and half of those were well out of the "affordable" price range. Homeownership is a valuable tool for families to accrue and maintain wealth. Therefore, the HRA proposes to build a cottage village consisting of 18-20 "tiny homes" ranging in size from approximately 620 square feet up to 720 square feet, depending on the number of bedrooms. The HRA then proposes to sell the units at a discounted rate and at a very low or zero interest rate in an effort to give low income individuals and families the opportunity to own a home. Given construction costs, rising interest rates, and the ever more crowded real estate market, the HRA cannot accomplish this goal without the help of outside funding to close the affordability gap.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Monticello The City of Monticello is in the process of a public-private partnership to re-development approximately 85% of a city block in our downtown core. The property is currently a blighted, low value area. The project would create a mixed-use residential and commercial development. Key components to this project include improvements to the adjacent roadways. This project is directly adjacent to State Highway 25 which has traffic volumes of approximately 35,000 vehicles per day and another adjacent roadway is Wright County State Highway 25 with approximately 15,000 vehicles per day. Given the high traffic volumes of the roadways on these two roadways the remaining two local streets will provide a critical access point for this project. These adjacent roadways don't currently connect as there is a significant grade difference between these two roadways. The proposed project would reconstruct these two roadways to provide for vehicular and pedestrian access between these two roadways. Given the private development cost estimated at approximately $31,800,000 the project can not bear these costs and assistance is necessary to make this project successful.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Carlton County raCSAH 61 Reconstruction, Streetscape & Recreational Trial Project addresses important concerns that have arisen since the transfer of ownership of this roadway to Carlton County in 1974. CSAH 61 was turned back to the County by MnDOT when I35 was constructed. Since the turnback the corridor along CSAH 61 has grown considerably in population and attracted several businesses that utilize the corridor to move goods and services. County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 61 is a major collector that connects the Towns of Cloquet/Scanlon to the Village of Esko and then Interstate 35. As the corridor has developed questions have evolved about the economic feasibility of the current geometry of the roadway; the safety and mobility of vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic; and the aesthetics of the roadway corridor. Since 1974 when CSAH 61 was turned back to Carlton County construction costs have skyrocketed and transportation funding has been fairly stagnant. Carlton County like many other local government agencies has made an effort to stretch the funds available as far as possible, but the continued deterioration of the roadway has forced the County to look for additional funding sources in order increase safety and mobility for vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians.

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of St. Cloud This project will complete a vital arterial corridor that encourages employment related development and reduces reliance of local traffic on Interstate 94. The City of St. Cloud has committed significant local resources to facilitate commercial and industrial development parallel and adjacent to Interstate 94. Existing businesses adjacent to the corridor employ over 3,000 workers with plans for continued expansion. More than 200 acres remain available for further job creation and urban infill development, yet have lagged behind regional market demand given the limited access for suppliers, public safety, and general commerce trips due to the lack of a road connection between the I 94 Business Park and urban core. The Opportunity Drive interchange has untapped capacity to aid in reducing the traffic volumes at the struggling interchange of I 94 and Stearns County Road 75. The extension of Heatherwood Road will facilitate safe and efficient movement of more than 8,000 business generated vehicle and freight trips per day and complete the Beaver Island Trail along the 3.3 mile corridor. The project will also result in replacement of the critical three-mile regional forcemain sewer system that services the communities of St. Cloud, Sartell, Waite Park, Sauk Rapids, St. Joseph, St. Augusta, and will serve the City of Foley in 2022. A significant segment of the three-mile long dual pipe sewer force main system is installed directly below the Heatherwood Road extension. This critical sewer system constructed in 1974 is experiencing significant increases in failures and is in need of replacement.

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians The purpose of this project is to replace the asbestos cement (AC) sanitary sewer and water mains that were originally constructed in the 1960s to serve the existing homes south of Highway 1 and west of Pike Creek commonly referred to as Back-of Town (BOT) on the Red Lake Indian Reservation. The project will include approximately 35,500 feet of gravity sewer mains and/or force mains with service lines along existing roads, driveways, and utility corridors with service lines to each of the 96 existing homes. There is proposed to be approximately 16,000 feet of new water main lines and 15,000 feet of new water service lines to be replaced in the community system. Some storm sewers may be replaced if they cannot be salvaged. Replacement of the lines protects the health and safety of 96 households from harmful AC that causes high rates of cancer and prevents overcrowding if they are required to vacate their homes. This project will provide for safe drinking water and hygienic sewage disposal for community members, as well as safe working conditions for sanitation and repair workers.

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Crane Lake "This project is a needed upgrade to the Crane Lake Water & Sanitary District wastewater treatment plant. Upgrades to this facility will serve residents, visitors, and businesses in Crane Lake. The Crane Lake Water and Sanitary District Board works inclusively and equitably as it serves the population of Crane Lake in its efforts to protect the water of America's only water based national park. This capital grant would have an impact by upgrading the facility to provide a better service and cleaner water. It will also help keep rates in check, which will retain jobs and allow businesses to grow. The Crane Lake Water & Sanitary District protect the waters of Voyageurs National Park, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, and the Quetico. Virtually all the jobs in the Crane Lake community are tourism based and we need to preserve these water-based assets. By keeping sewage rates reasonable for these service-based companies and their employees, we help the community survive. This small community supports thousands of visitors to this region. Crane Lake is a gateway. Therefore, the costs to maintain the infrastructure should not land solely on the residents. This grant is crucial for small businesses, many of which have been basically shut down due to Canadian COVID 19 border restrictions and last year's shutdown of the BWCAW due to wildfire threats. This grant can help mitigate these factors and support small businesses and their employees and help spur future economic development and job creation within this small border community."

For almost 90 years, it played a pivotal role in the community's creative economy. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the theatre (now owned by the City of Rochester) is most significant for its extraordinary and fanciful interior designed in the ""atmospheric"" style. The elaborate plaster fantasy design creates a backdrop of medieval European architecture, with balconies, turrets, battlements, gates, and arches. The ceiling was designed as a sky, with twinkling lights simulating stars against the blue background. Closed for the past seven years, the City of Rochester has been engaged in a renovation effort to reintroduce the Chateau Theatre as a destination where arts, culture, and inclusivity intersect. Located at 15 1st Street SW, the Chateau Theatre will serve as a space for offsite conference events, live music performances, and other gatherings.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Prairie Island Indian Community Tribal Homes Carbo The Tribe's housing is antiquated, and much of it is composed of mobile homes built in the last century before modern energy efficient appliances became available. Tribal members live in homes that are too cold in the winter and too warm in the summer, and pay more for energy-mostly expensive propane-than is necessary. Tribal members own their own homes, but the land on which the homes are built is federally-protected reservation land under the Tribe's jurisdiction. The Tribe's government honors it obligations to the Tribe's members by developing this Initiative to improve energy efficiency in tribal homes, and by so doing fight against the global warming that is degrading the Tribe's ancestral homelands. The Tribe needs the requested funds to conduct an audit of tribal homes and to use the information from those audits to provide energy efficient and carbon reduction upgrades such as electric dryers, stoves, air source heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, photovoltaic devices, and other miscellaneous measures, which together will eliminate up to 35,357 pounds of Co2 each year. A breakdown of the Initiative budget, which also provides a breakdown of the Co2 elimination by activity, is in Attachment 1 (emailed separately). While 96 tribal homes are eligible for this Initiative, the program is voluntary and likely about 50 households will participate. The total cost for auditing and retrofitting 50 households is estimated to $2,338,000.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Habitat for Humanity of Minnesota, Inc. "Habitat for Humanity of Minnesota is seeking funding for a pilot program for a statewide direct to consumer mortgage product targeting the communities of Duluth, Rochester, St. Cloud, Mankato, Moorhead, and Winona, and for affiliates serving homebuyers with access issues for government-backed mortgages. This product would function similar to the USDA 502 direct program, but would be open to Habitat projects that are not eligible to access the 502 program. Traditionally, upon completion of the construction of a new, affordable, single-family home, a Habitat affiliate would originate, close, and hold the mortgage, receiving monthly mortgage payments to recoup the construction costs over 30 years. The affiliate typically has to wait until they have raised enough capital before they can begin construction on their next house. Through this statewide direct to consumer mortgage program, Habitat Minnesota will act as the lender. There are two main benefits to this program: 1) Habitat affiliates will no longer need to originate mortgages, 2) Habitat affiliates will receive a cash payment from Habitat Minnesota at the closing, which will be used to fund the next build, accelerating the rate of construction for affiliates participating in this pilot. Based on an average mortgage amount of $200,000, with an investment of $1 million we would be able to warehouse five mortgages at a time. Our full program goal will be to warehouse 20 mortgages at a time. After we close a mortgage with a homeowner, Habitat Minnesota will sell the mortgage to a third party."

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Winton "Due to the overall age and condition of the City's water storage tank and water distribution system, improvements are needed to prevent additional disruptions in the City's potable water supply system. In the winter of 2021 Winton's water main system froze and completely shut down the City's water supply for two weeks. In addition in the winter of 2020-2021, the City of Winton had a significant frozen water system issue when the heat tape in the elevated storage tank failed because the recirculation pump froze. The elevated storage tank basically froze and most of the City was without potable water. The City was on a bottle water system for approximately two weeks until the water tower and water main were repaired. The public water system consists of two municipal wells, one elevated storage tank, and a very old cast iron water main distribution system, built in the 1930s, that serves all developed properties within the Winton city limits. This project improves the reliability and safety of the municipal water supply by including the replacement of 10,550 linear feet of water main, divided into four zones, totaling $3,481,400. This also would include full-depth bituminous street restoration. Pumphouse improvements include the replacement of the check valves, control panel, flow meters, and air release valves, and miscellaneous building improvements, totaling $134,500. Improvements to the elevated storage tank include the replacement of the existing vault structure with and below-ground vault structure, a new above-ground operation building, control upgrades, and a generator connection, totaling $156,000.

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Ely The City of Ely's municipal water system's sole source of drinking water is a surface water intake from Burntside Lake. The water intake line from Burntside Lake was constructed in 1932 and is approximately 25,000 feet in length. The water line is buried less than four feet in depth in most places but is above ground and exposed to the elements in areas in which it crosses rivers and other wetlands. The line is supported on three separate bridges that crosses the Burntside River and two creeks. Breakages have occurred to this line due to the minimal depth at which the line is buried. Exposed areas of the line have experienced corrosion of the connecting hardware which had required numerous repairs. Because this is the sole water source for the city, any breaks must be treated as an emergency situation to ensure that residents have adequate supply of drinking water and necessary fire protection. This project will include the replacement of the deteriorated water lines at the bridge crossings, intake structure rehabilitation, and replacement of the intake water line. The cast iron water main will be replaced with corrosion resistant high density poly ethylene (HDPE) to ensure reliability. Ely MN $2,645,000 Website Letter
Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Gilbert "The City of Gilbert is requesting $4,000,000 in Congressionally Directed Spending to design and construct a new lime softening water treatment plant (WTP). The existing water infrastructure includes three groundwater wells, three storage tanks, one water treatment plant, one booster station and a network of water distribution pipes. The existing plant was constructed in 1915 and has been expanded twice (1961 and 1992), and a sludge processing facility was added in 1982. The city also owns two wells near the plant which are longer in operation. The existing WTP and treatment system has far exceeded the industry-accepted design life for similar facilities. As major improvements would be necessary to rehabilitate the existing WTP and update treatment processes, the city has decided to pursue the design and construction of a new lime softening WTP. The proposed WTP will consist of a process including aeration (for stripping carbon dioxide), lime softening (hardness, iron and manganese removal), re-carbonation (stabilization), and dual-media filtration with silica and anthracite. A lime sludge processing system will also be constructed. The project also includes improvements to the city's lime sludge storage facility and installing new aquifer monitoring equipment in the water supply wells. The existing WTP, sludge facility and abandoned wells will be decommissioned and demolished. Th project also includes the construction of a new booster station and interconnecting piping which will improved connections to the systems of the surrounding communities including Mt.

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Town of Silver Creek "The Town of Silver Creek is proposing to construct a publicly owned wastewater collection system and regionalize with Two Harbors, MN for wastewater treatment in the Stewart River Subordinate Sanitary District to replace private septic systems along the shores of Lake Superior. Evaluations of the private septic systems have revealed that approximately 50% are noncompliant and allowing partially treated, and in some cases, raw wastewater, to reach Lake Superior. This is an imminent threat to public health and to the environment. There has been significant development in the area, however, adequate wastewater infrastructure is lacking, and private septic systems are failing. These homes are built on ledge rock overlain with a thin layer of heavy clay soil and neither the rock nor the clay has the ability to treat sewage prior to it entering Lake Superior. As a result, Lake Superior is being compromised with significant public health, ground water, and environmental threats. In addition, highway and safety updates and trail expansion for North Shore access are being limited by the proximity of current septic systems to Highway 61. In the past, when MNDOT has considered HWY 61 safety improvements in the past, its biggest obstacle has been procuring land that contained septic systems. The cost to acquire the land and solve the septic needs made the project too expensive. This impacts the safety for motorists on Highway 61 who may be visiting the shores of Lake Superior, Gooseberry Falls State Park, Split Rock Lighthouse State Park, etc." Silver Creek MN $15,204,000 Website Letter

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Cloquet The City of Cloquet's Lake Superior Waterline is a 20-mile-long water transmission system, which pumps water from Lake Superior to Cloquet, Minnesota. The system began operations in 1969 and its primary use today is to provide approximately 10-12 million gallons per day of raw process water to the Sappi papermill. Other critical functions include fire protection for Midway and Thomson townships, and an emergency back-up supply to Cloquet's potable water system. At 50 years in age, most of this infrastructure remains original and is in need of significant investment. Critical improvements necessary in the next 2-3 years include electrical system replacement at both pump stations and recoating of the two at grade reservoirs. These critical points of failure have the potential to shut down operations for weeks at time resulting in millions of dollars in impact to the regions economy including 3,500 jobs across the region.

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Tower "We have two main issues we are trying to solve, growth for the city and potential environmental issues. First is to expand our sewer and water system to an area adjacent to where our utilities end. The project would include approximately 1800 feet of water line and 3200 feet of sewer pipe with a lift station and the restoration of the street. Currently all of the businesses and residents in this area have well water and septic systems. Second, our belief is this is one of the only 2 locations that still have clay tile for sewer pipe in the city. The project would dig up about 400 feet of South Third Street and about 80 feet in front of 607 South Third St. replace the clay tile with an approved material sewer main. During proactive inspections of the sewer main upstream from this expansion our cameras found clay tile that was collapsing and full of tree roots. The breaks and roots in the line causes sewage to leak into the ground, blockages and backups of sewage. One of the big issues for the city is it causes Inflow and infiltration (I&I). The I&I causes ground water to enter our sewer system which pulls in potential contaminants and fills our treatment pond with water that should never have been in the system and is taking up capacity of treatment that stresses a system already reaching capacity."

Senator Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Duluth "The pedestrian sidewalks suspended off each side of the bridge's trusses require substantial work. The sidewalk structural steel support system and concrete-filled steel sidewalk grating are heavily deteriorated resulting in ongoing repairs to maintain safe pedestrian travel. To affect a proper repair, the sidewalk grating and much of its underlying steel support system require replacement. This funding would be used to complete as much of it as can be addressed when combined with available City funds. The bituminous surface of the approaches is heavily cracked and rutted with significant spalling of the concrete curbs. This surfacing lies above the roof of the structural concrete abutment houses at each end of the bridge and must be maintained to prevent damage to the concrete roof structure and abutments. Spalling of the concrete surfaces of the abutment wing walls and tower base pedestals has begun to accelerate. Repair of these locations will preserve structural soundness and mitigate exponentially increasing costs from additional deterioration expounded by freeze-thaw cycles. Further work will involve painting, structural steelwork, sidewalk replacement, abutment repairs, bridge approach repairs, eligible engineering costs, and other bridge repairs as needed."

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Greater Minnesota Housing Fund NOAH Preservation financing activity aligns with the Consolidated Plan's Strategy to provide decent, affordable housing through the planned acquisition, rehabilitation and preservation of 1,000-1,600 NOAH units throughout the state, with activities in both urban and rural communities. This addresses the Consolidated Plan Goal to ""Provide decent affordable housing to … low-moderate income renters."" These NOAH properties are at-risk due to speculation and aging conditions. Greater Minnesota Housing Fund has identified the opportunity to assist small and emerging rental property owners by providing access to low-cost, deferred loans to enable local, ‘mom and pop' landlords to acquire and preserve rental properties. Intervention is needed as naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH) is being lost at a fast pace in the Twin Cities and across Minnesota; yet these properties are the most affordable housing our communities have. There is an alarming loss of existing NOAH properties to market rate conversions. Minnesota Housing Finance Agency estimates that over 2,000 NOAH rental units are lost each year due to speculative conversions to upscale properties. That is a significant problem as the state only produces approximately 2000 affordable units per year (MHFA, 2018). Saint Paul MN $500,000 Website Letter

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Urban Strategies, Inc. The Sumner-Glenwood neighborhood located just north of downtown Minneapolis has a history of disinvestment that spans generations. After the federal Holman Consent Decree in 1995, the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority agreed to raze and redevelop 800 units of public housing, which made way for the Heritage Park community that now exists today. At the center of this neighborhood transformation sparked by that decree nearly 30 years ago is Heritage Park Apartments, a 440 unit mixed market rate, workforce, and public housing development. While the intent of this redevelopment was to create a vibrant mixed income community, it has suffered from insufficient operating funds and capital funds to support the public housing units. Through investment in both the physical housing and the human capital needs of this community, Heritage Park can become the thriving, vibrant community that residents vision it can be. The residents of this low-wealth community have an annual median household income less than half the median income for the City of Minneapolis as a whole, but with the strategic investment of funding in both the physical housing and human capital within the community, we believe all families who call Heritage Park home will thrive.

ASANDC loan pool will help business owners/entrepreneurs address working capital needs, increase Black business owner's revenue and business growth. Our goal is a $400,000 loan pool, serving 50 loans over a 2-year period. All participants in the loan program will be required to complete 4-hours of technical assistance, which includes business coaching, marketing, IT analysis and tax service review. Interest rate will be between 2% and 6% which is lower than credit card rates, other non-bank lenders, and other traditional bank loans. Loans will have flexible timetables - deferment of loan repayment up to 6-month; re-amortizations, no loan application fee, 1% fee origination fee charged at closing. A loss reserve of 10% for the RCRF enables ASANDC the ability to lend to businesses that might otherwise be denied financing. ASANDC will hire a loan manager who will process applications, create loan documents, schedule loan closings, service the loans by collecting payments, and keeping accounting records for each participant. We will create technological systems for loan tracking, update website, and purchase relevant technology.

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Washington County, Minnesota "The proposed project is a multi-use trail along CSAH 38 in the city of Newport that will fill existing gaps between 21st Street to 7th Avenue. The trail will also connect to a pedestrian overpass on Highway 61 and provide regional connections because it is part of the Mississippi River Trail (MRT). Filling the existing trail gaps will create more multi-modal transportation opportunities. The trail will also serve the Newport Transit Station, future City Hall, and multiple redevelopment areas. Equally important to the regional benefits are the safety improvements. CSAH 38 is a busy roadway with a high volume of freight traffic. Currently, pedestrians and bicyclists need to use the road shoulder. Creating a trail for pedestrians and bicyclists will get them out of the street and help make their trips safer and more enjoyable." Newport MN $500,000 Website Letter

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Community Action Center "The rural town of Faribault desperately needs emergency shelter units. The US Census puts the poverty rate in Faribault at 13.9%, which is 40% above the state average. Poverty is especially prevalent among Faribault's people of color: more than half of Black residents live below the poverty line (especially in the Somali immigrant community), as do more than 20% of Hispanic residents. The town is also in the middle of an affordable housing crisis. The MN Housing Partnership's biennial report found that between 46% and 56% of area renters are cost-burdened, and more than 25% are ""severely burdened,"" spending more than half of the income on rent. In this situation, even a single misstep (a missed payment, a brief gap in employment) can precipitate a long-term housing crisis. Unfortunately, there is a severe lack of emergency shelter infrastructure in Faribault. The Community Action Center (CAC) runs an emergency shelter program in nearby Northfield, MN, and is expanding its services into Faribault. CAC is requesting CDS grant funding to acquire new property to run as an emergency shelter. This one-time infusion of funding would allow CAC to buy a duplex, permanently adding emergency shelter units to Faribault's anti-homelessness infrastructure. With $350,000 CAC should be able to afford a duplex and staff time for intensive case management. (Which unit we buy will of course depend on availability, but a steady stream of multi-unit houses have been hitting the market.)" Faribault MN $350,000 Website Letter

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. Federal funds will be used to fund land acquisition, environmental documentation, wetland banking, and construction of a runway extension and apron, construction of buildings, and all necessary support equipment and navigational aids for a fully built-out airport facility to be owned and operated by the City of Karlstad."

Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Greater Twin Cities United Way "When food insecurity impacts entire neighborhoods, it undermines educational, economic and health outcomes throughout the community. Because of racial bias embedded in public policies and disinvestment from neighborhoods with a high proportion of Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander and other Residents of Color, these communities disproportionately face food insecurity. Conversely, when we help reverse patterns of disinvestment by supporting entrepreneurs and community resources, these high-potential communities can achieve resilient neighborhood-based food systems that improve food access, foster small-business growth and create jobs - contributing to better learning, earning, and health outcomes. ?Greater Twin Cities United Way's Full Lives initiative partners with neighborhoods where access to healthy, affordable food is low, to build equitable local food economies that are sustainable in the long term. A successful North Minneapolis pilot supported the creation of 14 new food-sector businesses including a new supermarket; 278 new food-sector jobs (90% held by neighborhood residents); increased commercial- and personal-garden food production; increased food skills among residents; and $3.5M in revenue in the two-year pilot's second year, among the four partners who were businesses reporting revenue. These results have already inspired replication of Full Lives in Buffalo and Toronto through the United Way network. Locally, Full Lives holds great opportunity for expansion into several communities where entrepreneurs and nonprofits share a vision for resilient, neighborhood-based food systems. Greater Twin Cities United Way will launch replication in one of these neighborhoods after exploring readiness and opportunity for impact: St. Paul's Eastside, Frogtown, and Minneapolis' Phillips neighborhood."

Senator Klobuchar MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Finishing Trades Institute of the Upper Midwest "This project builds upon FTI Upper Midwest's (FTIUM) recognition that the construction industry has the highest rate of suicide per 100,000 workers of any industry and of the need for a progressive new student services model, FTIUM Care Team, that prioritizes whole-person wellness. Our primary goal is to partner with TEAM Corporation to provide specialized student services, on campus to our 2,800 students. The FTIUM Care Team will consist of Master's Level Behavioral Health Clinicians, Care Coordinators, Nurse Case Managers, and a Registered Dietitian. We believe that access to in-person visits increases compliance, keeping students mentally and physically healthy. Getting all populations access to clinicians is imperative with the current mental health and opioid crises. While the suicide rate in construction is at an all-time high, with 15 workers dying daily, we are committed to being the leading force in cultural change and acceptance of behavioral health needs. FTIUM Care Team members will provide mental health and substance use disorder awareness and education programs, 24/7 crisis services, individual counseling, a learn to live program, and student advocacy. This work can be challenging in a population where being tough is at the core of our culture. Our model will take a team approach. Behavioral health clinicians concentrate on mental health and chemical dependency. They integrate care coordination staff and nurse case managers as physical health concerns are identified. We will assist patients in becoming independent, walking them through the correct processes and assessing their needs along their journey." Little Canada MN $11,760,000 Website Letter
Senator Klobuchar MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Cottage Grove 80th Street is the gateway into the City of Cottage Grove. Home to the largest and busiest commercial and retail district with 24,000 vehicles per day, it provides a vital connection to thousands of homes. Some base pavement from 1980 is still in use today along this 1.25-mile segment. With $5.8 million in federal support the City could close the gap on financial shortfalls that prohibit it from funding the $7.8 million rehabilitation project. A sense of urgency to begin the project remains. The City adds thousands of residents each year, as well as extensive retail and commercial growth with the increased population. The City's high-density housing growth is also centered around 80th Street, as two large senior living complexes are now full, and two large apa1iment complexes will be completed in the coming months. With the imminent arrival of bus transit and the current and future traffic counts on 80th Street, this project fits the criteria for the federal infrastructure package.

Senator Klobuchar 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 1950s and 1994, except for the length from Coleraine to Pengilly which was left as two lane undivided highway. Subsequently two additional sections were completed using state funding, still leaving 8.4 miles of two lane undivided highway sandwiched between and constricting traffic 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 Klobuchar MN Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Plymouth This request is for $2,000,000 to help the City of Plymouth, Minnesota, update its Zachary Water Treatment Plant by adding a new lamella plate settler system.

Senator Manchin WV Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Hospital Development Co dba Roane General Hospital The goal of this project will be to relocate the existing walk-in clinic (urgent care) to a safer and more operationally effective space for patients and to create additional space that will allow various specialists to see patients in our rural community. Throughout the COVID pandemic, the Hospital attempted to retrofit existing space to meet infection control guidelines. In the future, this space would be our "infectious disease" location and would allow the evaluation of contagious patients in the clinic without co-mingling with our other primary and specialty care populations. Additionally, the renovation would create space where other specialty providers could use a portion of the facility to provide additional care in our community without travel to larger tertiary facilities that are approximately one hour away. The work performed with this project will include a roof replacement at the existing facility, HVAC upgrades for more effective air flow and infection control, interior reconfiguration and cosmetic upgrades and the addition of x-ray imaging equipment to allow for diagnostic testing at the site.

Senator Markey MA Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Franklin Regional Council of Governments The funds will be used to purchase voice over pagers for call volunteer firefighters and EMTs that work on the Commonwealth’s digital radio system. Franklin County’s analog public safety radio system was reaching its end-of-life and is nearly inoperable. In response, the Massachusetts Executive Offices of Technology Services and Security and Public Safety and Security agreed to allow county departments to use the Commonwealth’s digital interoperable radio system. They also provided a grant to purchase radios for all system users so they could communicate on the new system. However, the grant did not cover the purchase of digital voice over pagers. Franklin County is a rural area, and a large portion of the county has inadequate cell signal coverage. These pagers that utilize the Commonwealth’s digital radio system will soon be the only reliable option to reach many of their volunteers. Without the pagers, the county faces lengthier response times for first responders to arrive on scene because we wilneed to use landline phones to notify them of an incident. This project would cover 75% of the $600,000 total estimated cost to purchase digital pagers for all county volunteer personnel. Greenfield, Franklin County MA $450,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Kistner Foundation Inc. dba Red Gate Farm Red Gate Farm Education Center is requesting $150,000 to help complete the construction of a new student housing facility and dining hall. These facilities will expand Red Gate Farm’s capacity to enrich children’s education from 3-season programming to year round farm-based activities that foster growth and self-confidence. Many more children from diverse socio-economic backgrounds will benefit from this investment in our facilities, as the buildings will more than double the number of students the organization can serve annually. Red Gate Farm Education Center currently serves students from across the Commonwealth and New England states. By expanding the organization’s current capacity, Red Gate Farm will be a greater resource to both the local community and farther areas. At Red Gate Farm, children learn to care for animals, tend gardens, and maintain forest trails. During five months of each year they may plant seeds, herd sheep, collect eggs, or harvest vegetables. Their year round programs will iroduce new farm experiences such as maple sugaring, pressing apples for cider, caring for newborn lambs, and planting seeds for the spring gardens. The construction of two new buildings will completely transform the farm's physical space, enabling Red Gate Farm to accommodate twice as many children, who will return to their communities with new skills.

Senator Markey MA Energy and Water Development Town of Chatham Request for funding from the US Army Corps of Engineers for maintenance dredging of the Chatham, Stage Harbor Federal Navigation Project (FNP) to preserve access to Chatham’s largest and most utilized deep-water harbor. Shoaling of the entrance channel has increased substantially due to ongoing changes to Chatham’s eastern barrier beaches and inlets. Despite annual maintenance dredging, the channel continues to shoal, primarily during the fall and winter seasons, rendering the channel extremely shoal before onset of the important summer boating season for commercial and recreational boating interests, and the US Coast Guard. Without ongoing maintenance dredging access to the harbor will be critically compromised with a devastating impact on the local and regional economies, and public safety. Stage Harbor is a FNP that is critical to the maritime commercial, recreational, and public safety (US Coast Guard and Chatham Harbormaster) boating interests of Chatham. Historically, funding for the USACE to perform maintenance dredging has been sporadic and not dependable to ensure safe navigation into the harbor. Over the past 3 years, changes in shoaling patterns have greatly increased shoaling rates that would have rendered the channel virtually unusable to all but shallow draft vessels without repeated maintenance dredging, and at great expense, by the Town. Even with local dredging completed, additional dredging was necessary and undertaken by the USACE during this period but only by opportunistic re-programming of available funds from other project purposes. Dedicated FY2023 federal funding for the USACE is needed to ensure the channel will service the boating public for the 2024 boating season. Chatham MA $1,400,000 Website Letter

Senator Markey MA Financial Services and General Government MassChallenge Female founders, founders of color, founders from outside typical venture hubs remain grossly overlooked and underfunded by the typical entrepreneurial and venture ecosystem. At the extreme, black female founders receive less than 1% of venture funding and yet are one of the fastest growing categories of entrepreneurs. In order to address continued gaps in funding and access to other essential resources, and to address the resulting opportunity and wealth gap, MassChallenge has committed to a multi-year project to invest in Driving Equitable Outcomes for the over 500 startups it supports each year that includes several critical components: Outsized investment in historically underrepresented founders, including increasing participation in MassChallenge’s proven startup accelerator program, executive coaching from successful entrepreneurs with shared perspective, and a focused program to increase access to capital Investment in a more inclusive entrepreneurial support ecosystem, includinghrough training for all mentors, advisors, and judges on identity and race Thought-leadership and white papers highlighting the selection and acceleration processes that exclude founders and new approaches to create more equitable and inclusive approaches This project is critical to addressing the national gap in opportunity for historically underrepresented founders to achieve similar outcomes to white and/or male peers. This gap is mirrored in local gaps in each of the hubs in which MassChallenge operates today–Boston, Houston, Dallas, Austin, and Rhode Island. Because the opportunities are so rich in Massachusetts with a strong community of investors, innovators, and an entrepreneurial ecosystem that accelerates start-ups, we will apply our successful model to Boston.

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Associação Cabo Verdiana De Brockton, Inc This expansion will allow Associação Cabo Verdiana De Brockton to further expand their preventive program, to include many other community groups. The expansion as well as renovation of the building will enable the Association expansion of services such as a Youth Tutoring Center, enlargement of the Resource and Community Room and Clinical Services. The goal of the Youth Tutoring Center is to provide academic support and life skills that will help mold 20-25 youth into successful adults. The activities will include: Homework and Tutoring assistance, Fundamental Support and Assistance for college entrance as part of the Let's Get Ready Program from Stone Hill College, Leadership training in collaboration with Social Capital Inc, and Community Service Programs that include volunteering at shelters, visiting seniors centers and organizing canned food drives. The Resource Room only has 5 computers which are not sufficient to serve all youth requesting computer related learning. With the expansion, more computers can be installed allowing more youth with an opportunity to improve their technical skills. The area will also be available to disadvantaged adults as they will become familiar with emerging technologies by taking computer classes. The Community Room is reserved for neighborhood meetings and functions. The extension of this room would permit more community gatherings and social initiatives to leverage the mission of the Association. And the Clinical Services area will expand our current family unification program as well as alcohol counseling classes, parenting training programs, and individual counseling. These services will be offered in Capeverdean Creole and Portuguese and other community languages. There is a significant need of language appropriate services in the region; more people are forced to travel a long distance to receive such service. Brockton MA $1,720,000 Website Letter

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Brockton MA Upgrade to pool infrastructure (pool piping and filtration system etc.) to bring pool and water quality into current regulations. Upgrade the bathhouse facility to make it ADA compliant as well as improvements to the building itself (showers, new roof etc.). The main goal is for the pool infrastructure to be modernized and sized to meet current pool regulations for water quality for the health and safety of those using the pool. This work would include replacing all feed and return lines into the pool itself and replacement of the current DE filter system with a sand based filter system. These upgrades would not only improve water quality but would increase worker safety for those operating the pool by eliminating the need for the use of diatomaceous earth and the associated health risks with inhalation of airborne silica. The bathhouse, built in 1965 is also in need of significant upgrades. Currently it is not fully ADA compliant, the bathrooms need significant improvement, including the installation of shower stalls, shoring up of deteriorating walls, upgrading of the electrical system and a new roof to protect the building.

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Massachusetts Military Support Foundation Massachusetts Military Support Foundation would utilize this funding for the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Tweave Mill property in Norton to serve as its new Food bank distribution Center and Headquarters to supply its regional empowerment centers. This will allow MMSF to continue to meet the needs of veterans, active-duty military, and their families – many with low- and moderate-incomes as well as local Norton and Bristol County senior citizens and other at-risk populations. The new property will have the necessary space to safely receive, store, and distribute an increased volume of non-perishable food, fresh produce, pre-made meals and other goods throughout Massachusetts. COVID-19 greatly impacted the veteran community in unprecedented ways. According to a December 2020 CNAS Report on Massachusetts Needs Assessment During the Pandemic and Beyond, “impacts of the pandemic on Massachusetts veterans tracked largely with those of veterans nationally, with fallout particularly around mentahealth, isolation, and financial security due to unemployment, homelessness, food insecurity, and mental health –concluding that these issues increased for veterans who were not facing these challenges prior to the pandemic.” The two MMSF Empowerment Centers each serve 3,000+ families per month, impacting an estimated 18,000 individuals. MMSF’s food programs provide budget relief and lift emotional burdens that often accompany food insecurity. MMSF’s Food4Vets program distributed 53,500 food boxes since the start of the pandemic in 2020, and an additional 25,000 food boxes were distributed each month during that time through the USDA Farmers to Families program (USDA distribution partners are not compensated). MMSF is prepared to build on the strength of its capabilities and proven outcomes to serve multiple regions with enhanced capacity, which this facility will provide. The Massachusetts Military Support Foundation Food Bank Distribution Center and Headquarters is an ideal project for the community development fund for economic development initiatives as it addresses providing community services through the acquisition of real property which will result in a complete blight removal and remediation through the rehabilitation and improvement of the facility. - The proposed MMSF project directly addresses two out of three of the National Objectives of the broader CBDBG program - The project will benefit low- and moderate-income persons when supporting and feeding veterans and their families. - The project will eliminate the blight at the Tweave Mill property by taking it back from vandalism and rehabbing it to be an operating food bank and distribution center to respond to the needs of the Veteran Community.

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Codman Square Neighborhood Development Corporation The purpose of our request is to help Codman Square NDC in the acquisition phase of a larger affordable housing project. The project as a whole is indeed a construction project, but, as noted in question 15, above, our request concerns only the acquisition of the property on which the larger project will be built. On the Square Housing is an innovative way to leverage existing Codman Square NDC (CSNDC) assets, enliven and strengthen the core Codman Square business district in Dorchester, on behalf of the predominantly low/mod income minority owned businesses that exist there, and provide approximately 48 new affordable housing units to low-income residents, increasing supply and stabilizing this vulnerable population in place against rapidly rising housing prices. We will build four new stories of apartments above an existing 1-story commercial block already owned by a CSNDC subsidiary. In addition to the immediate benefits of the project, it can serve as a model for other developments of this kind in the mainly single-story Codman Square business district, bringing equity and economic mobility to this district in line with business districts in other, more prosperous districts elsewhere in Boston and its surroundings. The City of Boston is already planning to use a similar approach for new housing above the existing single story Codman Square branch library just 2 blocks up the street from our project location a 587-595 Washington Street.

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Town of Groton The area of Broadmeadow Road at James Brook, a road right off Main Street in the Town Center, is subject to recurring flooding and is an old soft, floating road. Broadmeadow Road is a “Corduroy road”, a road built on logs placed above naturally occurring mud and peat. Maintenance of the road over the years has consisted of overlays of asphalt which eventually sinks into the wetlands bordering James Brook. Previous dredging of James Brook has been done to keep the water flowing. Beavers and the increase in the severity and occurrence of rain/snow events have made flooding more frequent. The stability of the road is a major concern as well as more frequent road closures. These road closures limit emergency access and increase response times, block the only public access and exit route for the Public Library, impact students and parents trying to reach the school buses, alter school bus routes at the last minute, and limit the recreational opportunities along the popular Nashua River Rail Trail. This road is also a major egress for the residents who live along the upper portion of Broadmeadow Road, which is a one-way road off Main Street (Route 119). The only other way for these residents, patrons of the Public Library and users of the Rail Trail, to exit upper Broadmeadow Road when the Road is closed is by using a private driveway owned by a private school. Economic development and revitalization of the Downtown has been on the forefront of Town Officials for several years. A few mixed-use development properties that have direct access to Broadmeadow Road would substantially benefit from proper reconstruction of this road. Any increases in desirable housing downtown and retail opportunities would spur much needed economic development which is a major priority of the Town and would help lessen the tax burden placed on the taxpayers. The Town, as part of this request, would also look to pave a dirt road/crossing from the end of Station Ave, along the Rail Trail and out to Broadmeadow Road and also look to bring a water main from where it ends on Broadmeadow Road and connect it to an existing water main on Station Avenue to provide those priority development properties with the ability to connect to Town Water. A proposed 12,500 square foot commercial facility cannot be constructed without this new water main due to the lack of adequate water supply to that area. The 2019 Spring Town Meeting approved $50,000 to partially restore the historic drainage channels in the wet meadows bordering James Brook. A 2020 Hazard Mitigation Plan – Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Plan was created and identified the flooding along Broadmeadow Road as a “highest high priority”. With the creation of this Plan, the Town applied for a Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) Grant in June 2020. The Town was not successful with this grant opportunity. The Town has allocated $100,000 in ARPA funds to solicit a feasibility study/design work related to this project. Groton MA $3,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Holyoke This project entails initial design and restoration work to revitalize and reopen Holyoke's largest urban park for public use. The present LWCF application is based on the Phase I budget produced during a recent preliminary site design process. The work proposed in Phase I reflects the areas of broad consensus of community informed feedback: 1) improved pedestrian access from Community Field to Anniversary Hill Park and ADA access; 2) restoration of stonework structures; and 3) selective landscaping and site restoration. In addition to overall trail improvements, Phase I includes design and construction costs associated with tree work (removal of hazard trees and vista pruning), restoration of historic Civilian Conservation Corps stone structures, creation of an accessible trail to Scott Tower, and vegetative clearing with habitat improvements. Phase I improvements also include installing connections from existing water, sewer, and electrical utilities to service restroom facilities and outdoor lighting anticipated to be included among future Phase II improvements. During this process, existing overhead utilities will be relocated underground to improve the visitor experience, for added safety, and to ensure eligibility for LWCF funding. Finally, the addition of educational and interpretive signage on the natural and human history of Anniversary Hill Park, along with maps and trail markers, will help tie the park experience together and again encourage passive use by visitors. This project involves initial restoration work to revitalize and reopen Holyoke's largest urban park for public use. Anniversary Hill Park was originally acquired via several donations of land from 1923 to 1939, to commemorate Holyoke’s fiftieth anniversary as a city. The park quickly became a destination for picnickers, sledders, and nature lovers, and had dramatic infrastructure improvements added in the early 1940s under the Works Progress Administration (WPA). A number of the hardscape features from this period are still vible today in good condition, including trails, footbridges, stone steps, and Scott Tower itself, all constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) using local stone. The reinvention of Anniversary Hill Park under Phase I will include restoring these features along with new improvements. The decline of the park began abruptly in the 1960s when I-91 was constructed through its center. The portion on the eastern side, now known as Community Field, underwent a $3.1 million multi-use renovation in 2010 and is now the City’s most visited park. The City of Holyoke has long sought to revitalize the former Anniversary Hill Park site and return it to the high-profile and active use which it once enjoyed within the City’s Park system. Combined with the adjoining Community Field, it would become Holyoke’s largest park. With many residents now driving northward to visit Mt Tom to access hiking trails, picnic spots, and vistas--especially during the Covid-19 pandemic-- few know that similar amenities coulist near the City’s center. The site is well situated just to the west of Holyoke’s downtown core, and ideal for broad accessibility by Holyoke’s populace. It is adjacent to two Holyoke Housing Authority developments, and within walking distance or a very short drive of several U.S. Census tracts containing socio-economically disadvantaged communities without access to nearby open space (see Attachment D). PVTA bus routes 21 and 23 already pass through Jarvis Avenue near Scott Tower park and could easily add stops near the new park entrance. Kestrel Land Trust, the City's partner in the current park revitalization effort was able to negotiate similar, increased bus access with PVTA for a new park on Mt. Tom in neighboring Easthampton. Under the city’s ultimate vision for re-establishing Anniversary Hill Park--once described as the “Central Park” of Holyoke--it is feasible that the location could become a draw for local events as well as for visitors from outside Holyoke, with amenities simi other urban forest parks in the region. The natural resources and ecological restoration of the park would also allow it to serve as a model “outdoor classroom” for local youth through partnerships with local non-profit groups like Eagle Eye Institute and the Holyoke Boys and Girls Club.

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Community Servings Community Servings has been operating in the Commonwealth for 32 years, and has made and delivered over 10 million medically tailored meals to date. As the link between food and health has become more evident, Community Servings has made it their mission to alleviate the immense barrier of acquiring diet specific ingredients and cooking nutritionally beneficial meals for chronically sick individuals, and to deliver food that can truly be considered medicine for their clients. They offer 15 medical diets that meet the medical and nutritional needs of clients with HIV/AIDS, cancer, kidney disease, diabetes, and other life-threatening illnesses. As just one example of this program’s proven benefits, a research study published in JAMA-Internal Medicine in 2019 found that health care costs were reduced 16% and hospitalizations reduced 49% for high cost, high need patients receiving medically tailored meals. In addition to their MTM program, Community Servings has also integrated workforce development into theirrganization through the Teaching Kitchen, which is a free 12-week job training program for people interested in careers in the food service industry who face barriers to full-time employment. Community Servings is committed, in all programs and business practices, to prioritize racial and economic justice and health equity. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, the demand for Community Servings’ services has skyrocketed and the agency has responded by doubling the number of meals and clients served monthly. The agency is now providing nearly 900,000 medically tailored meals to 4,000 clients, their dependent children and caregivers annually. To meet this increased demand, Community Servings is looking to expand services to different parts of the state and deliver on their promise of putting every kind of equity at the center of their operations, including geographic.

North Star Family Services (NSFS) is excited to help expand housing choice for families in Leominster. NSFS currently operates a five-bed family shelter in Leominster and would like to expand the supportive services that they offer to low-income families through the development of 15 units of supportive housing. NSFS’ mission is to provide stable housing, comprehensive services and advocacy for families in need of support. North Star has served the Greater Leominster area since 2003. North Star Family Services has received positive feedback from neighborhood groups, abutters, and city officials for the development of this project. The City of Leominster has been an important partner in this project since the very beginning and has recently granted the project zoning board approval through a comprehensive permit. It is a priority for the City of Leominster to house homeless families in permanent supportive housing and NSFS has shown that the services that they offer help families maintain their tenancy.

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Merrimack Valley Housing Partnership The mission of the Merrimack Valley Housing Partnership is to promote responsible and sustainable homeownership opportunities for low and moderate-income earners by producing comprehensive training and counseling, as well as promoting the use of special mortgage products and down payment assistance programs. The Merrimack Valley Housing Partnership’s homebuyer education is essential as the pandemic-era market makes first-time homeownership increasingly challenging for even moderate-income households. With individualized support from the organization’s certified housing counselors, about 40% of participants purchase a home within two years. This is notable since 60% of participants have incomes at 80% or less of the area median income. Lowell MA $150,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Built around 1849 (although possibly as early as 1820), the Mashpee Parsonage at 431 Main Street is a key architectural cornerstone in the Town of Mashpee’s historic district. The Parsonage is located on the Mashpee Tribe’s Reservation, and squarely within the Tribe’s historical territory. Because of the architectural, historic and cultural significance of the building, it has been thoroughly studied by architects, engineers and restoration specialists. Funding is needed to continue crucial restoration work to stabilize and preserve the building – without this work, this irreplaceable part of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe’s (and the Town of Mashpee’s) history may be forever lost. The project will also create and support local jobs in the engineering and construction sectors. Mashpee MA $1,629,000 Website Letter

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Town of Mattapoisett This Congressionally Directed Spending funding would support the Mattapoisett Rail Trail shared use path project by providing funds for completion of the shovel-ready segment. The property has already been acquired and substantial improvements have been made to this section utilizing state, local and private funds. At present, there is a gap in the two portions of the shared use path in Mattapoisett that have been, or which will soon be, completed through a productive public-private partnership using local and state funds, as well as significant private donations. Not only will the project provide a local transportation option, but it is also a critical component of the larger South Coast Bikeway, providing community connectivity along a 50-mile, carbon-free route across Southeastern Massachusetts from New Bedford harbor eastward to the Cape Cod Canal. More significantly, completion of the path offers a safe option for walkers, bicyclists and other vulnerable users by removing them from the auto-centric Route 6 corridor, and providing a safe alternative means of travel across the greater South Coast region to Cape Cod. The project is comprised of three components described here in the order of readiness and completion: Construction of ‘Shovel-Ready” 2B, Design Engineering, Permitting and of Construction of 2A, and Amenities Vision Plan. We are applying for a single Project to ensure that all safety concerns are completed effectively and efficiently. Since Phase 2B is fully designed and permitted, bidding and construction can start once Congressionally Directed Spending funding is obligated. Phase 2A Engineering Design can begin soon after our Town funded Pre-Design is complete in 2023. 2A Design may occur concurrently with construction of 2B. Construction of 2A will follow. The third component, an “Amenities Vision Plan” can be implemented as SUP sections are completed, site coordination and funds allow. We envision a unified Project to safely manage cyclists, pedestrians, truckommuters, and local traffic properly in a constrained area. We envision sufficient trail ‘amenities’ to make this a pleasurable and sustainable commuting and recreational experience. The project will provide free access and free parking for several public beaches. It will abut Mattapoisett’s Affordable Housing units and its Senior Housing facility, providing those residents, as well, with an ADA-accessible safe and pleasant forested walk and access to the adjacent Holy Ghost Park. It will provide alternative surface transportation to good jobs at two industrial parks within 4–10-mile rides of large work force and Environmental Justice communities in New Bedford and Wareham and smaller ones in Fairhaven and Marion. The requested Congressionally Directed Funding is sought to fund those elements of the project plan that are shovel-ready and otherwise capable of being utilized during FY2023.

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) The security checkpoint improvement project involves the renovation of shell space within the existing Terminal Building and the construction of a two-lane security checkpoint. Once the new checkpoint has been placed into service, the existing single lane checkpoint located in the passenger hold room will be decommissioned and removed. The space currently occupied by the single lane checkpoint will be converted to hold room space for passengers waiting to board aircraft. The proposed project will enhance security but more importantly allow the airport and TSA to consistently provide a high level of customer service to the airline passengers who choose Worcester Regional Airport. Project Objectives include: Efficiently screening passengers; Decreasing passenger wait times; Maintaining checkpoint throughput capacity when screening equipment has to be taken out of service for repair or calibration; Providing a clean, modern, and comfortable environment in which to conduct the screening process; Better detection technology means there will be less divestment requirements and human resources are better allocated to other areas of need. Discovery of threats and prohibited items will occur more often, and; The new CT equipment screens passenger carryon baggage and other items and has the potential to decrease the need for manual searches. The proposed improvements to the screening process will contribute to the continued growth and success of Worcester Regional Airport. The current single lane configuration of the Worcester Regional Airport checkpoint is not advantageous for several reasons. As the post pandemic passenger volumes recover, the peak passenger volumes now satisfy the TSA criteria for a second lane. While not busy all day, Worcester’s departing flights tend to be concentrated during short periods. This results in significant peak volumes. A second lane will allow the TSA to staff the checkpoint in a manner which maintains desirable wait times during the peak periods. From a customer service perspective, the most significant advantage of a second lane comes into play if screening equipment has to be taken out of service for any reason. In the current checkpoint set-up, baggage can still be screened manually if the screening equipment is unavailable or out of service. However, that process is slow and invasive, and the throughput of the checkpoint is significantly degraded. This results in a dramatic increase in wait times. A second lane allows the checkpoint to function efficiently with the other lane out of service. One of the advantages of Worcester Regional Airport when compared to larger airports is the relative convenience that passengers experience. Passengers can park, get their tickets, check their bags and get through security in a fraction of the time that it takes at larger facilities. Enhancing the screening capacity by adding a second lane to the security checkpoint will ensure that the passengers consistently experience a desirable level of customer service.

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción In November 2020, Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción (IBA) was forced to demolish its Boston-based arts center, which was housed in a 155-year-old church, due to structural deficiencies. This loss was significant, as IBA is the largest hub for Latinx arts in New England, and its former arts center hosted events and performances while also serving as a learning and gathering space for IBA’s Villa Victoria affordable housing community. The demolition of this space also impacted IBA’s revenue stream, as rental space within the former church had been a source of income for IBA. To replace its former arts center, IBA is building The Center for Community Action, Self-sufficiency, and the Arts (The CASA). This multi-purpose community arts and gathering space will better meet IBA’s actual needs, and will increase its capacity to facilitate community programming that serves IBA’s low-income residents, as well as to provide access to Latinx arts for the City of Boston and New England.

The main radios used by both police and fire are Motorola MTR 2000 conventional analog systems, with Motorola Centracom Gold Elite dispatch consoles. These consoles control radio communications, as well as interoperable resources or communications to other agencies through control stations. The radios and repeaters were all purchased around the year 2000. The service agreement for the existing communications system equipment and software has reached its end of service life. Motorola will no longer support this equipment, resulting in no firmware updates, limited parts availability, and limited support from our vendor. The public safety radio system is comprised of several remote sites located within the city which feed signals that provide for coverage within those areas. The radio system requires connectivity from all these sites back to the signal comparator which is located at the police and fire stations. The connectivity for these remote locations is over copper wire circuits that the city leases from Verizon. These copper circuits are outdated technology, so the support for these circuits is very limited by the provider. As these are older copper circuits, they constantly have changes in their electronic make up that creates signal loss and causes the radio system to have frequent failures resulting in poor coverage. Not only has the lack of municipal control of the lines been problematic, with Verizon moving away from supporting these circuits they are increasingly subject to outages and failures. Verizon no longer intends to invest in these lines, meaning repair times are taking longer and there is no expectation that the situation will improve. The consequence of this situation is that the life and safety of Salem’s first responders, as well as the people who rely on them to be able to respond in a timely manner to emergencies, is being increasingly put at risk. As a busy city with the largest hospital in the region, a state university, the county courts, a major power plant facility, and a very active downtown and tourism industry, the danger from the increasing failure of these circuits is substantial.

Senator Markey MA Homeland Security Worcester Housing Authority This request for funding would assist the Worcester Housing Authority (WHA) in creating a new, comprehensive emergency preparedness plan in order to protect its 14,000 residents and over 200 staff members in the case of potential disaster. Working closely with a contracted consultant and the City of Worcester, the WHA will develop a plan that will not only protect residents and employees but will also see the creation of emergency rooms throughout its 24 developments that will contain all of the necessary supplies and materials in case of an emergency, such as personal protective equipment, food, water, and more.

Senator Markey MA Homeland Security Town of Hull The project will reduce the risk of damage along the coastline and increase the level of protection to meet needs of future sea level rise and climatic changes, providing greater resiliency for the critical roadway connecting two portions of the town. The Town of Hull is replacing the seawalls along the Nantasket Avenue shoreline to eliminate impacts from coastal storm events. The shoreline is highly exposed and is subject to wave and storm impacts from the open ocean. The project will construct a new higher seawall along approximately 1,600 feet of Nantasket Avenue between Point Allerton Avenue and Fitzpatrick Way. This new seawall will provide essential protection to portions of Fitzpatrick Way and Nantasket Avenue and the utilities in the right of way. Fitzpatrick Way provides a critical link for access to and from Pemberton Point with the US Coast Guard Station, two schools, the wastewater treatment facility, and over 700 private lots. The right of way contains all utilities supplying Pemberton Point including water, sewer, electric and gas. The seawall not only protects access to Pemberton and its utilities, but also the sewer line for the entire town connects to the wastewater plant past this point. Loss of the road would cause failure of the sewer line to this treatment facility and spillage into the ocean would result. The proposed concrete seawall will be constructed with a higher top elevation than the existing seawalls to improve protection. The seawall design includes a recurve shape to provide an additional reduction in the volume of water overtopping the wall during storms. The design allows for sea level rise through at least the year 2070. Hull MA $5,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Homeland Security Cape Cod Commission (Barnstable County) The project employs state of the art modeling Massachusetts Coast Flood Risk Model and community engagement to identify and prioritize low lying roads to target for coastal resiliency action. This analysis has identified highly-vulnerable and highly-critical locations along Route 6 on the Outer Cape that, if impacted by a coastal storm event or, in the long-term by sea level rise, would disconnect thousands of residents. With the requested federal investment, conceptual designs for a range of solutions for the three most vulnerable location along the corridor would be developed. The solutions are anticipated to include traditional infrastructure options, such as elevating a roadway segment, as well as nature-based solutions. This range of solutions would be presented to MassDOT, MEMA, the municipalities, and the public for feedback. As part of this project, the design for one of the solutions at one of the three locations would be further developed, consistent with MassDOT Project Development and Design Guide, to a 25% design level. The 25% design is an important step in the design process where the subsequent public engagement and permitting requirements of the project can be well-understood and a path forward for the project can be developed. With the 25% design, the project would be well positioned to pursue a variety of funding opportunities for implementation.

Senator Markey MA Energy and Water Development Army Corps of Engineers Request for funding from the US Army Corps of Engineers for maintenance dredging of the Chatham, Stage Harbor Federal Navigation Project (FNP) to preserve access to Chatham’s largest and most utilized deep-water harbor. Shoaling of the entrance channel has increased substantially due to ongoing changes to Chatham’s eastern barrier beaches and inlets. Despite annual maintenance dredging, the channel continues to shoal, primarily during the fall and winter seasons, rendering the channel extremely shoal before onset of the important summer boating season for commercial and recreational boating interests, and the US Coast Guard. Without ongoing maintenance dredging access to the harbor will be critically compromised with a devastating impact on the local and regional economies, and public safety. Stage Harbor is a FNP that is critical to the maritime commercial, recreational, and public safety (US Coast Guard and Chatham Harbormaster) boating interests of Chatham. Historically, funding for the USACE to perform maintenance dredging has been sporadic and not dependable to ensure safe navigation into the harbor. Over the past 3 years, changes in shoaling patterns have greatly increased shoaling rates that would have rendered the channel virtually unusable to all but shallow draft vessels without repeated maintenance dredging, and at great expense, by the Town. Even with local dredging completed, additional dredging was necessary and undertaken by the USACE during this period but only by opportunistic re-programming of available funds from other project purposes. Dedicated FY2023 federal funding for the USACE is needed to ensure the channel will service the boating public for the 2024 boating season. Chatham MA $1,400,000 Website Letter

Funding will increase cultural competency training for program faculty, extend family dance access through subsidized tickets to Boston Ballet performances, and increase tuition assistance for program alumni enrolled in Boston Ballet School classes. The project also includes the pilot of a promotional campaign using dance-on-film to increase public awareness and build institutional trust in city neighborhoods, an effort that we believe will lead to higher student retention and greater diversity in Boston Ballet School, as well as in our audiences.

Senator Markey MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Lasell University In Massachusetts, 17,000 high-paying cybersecurity jobs remain unfilled due to a shortage of individuals with the adequate level of education and training to fill the positions. Additionally, the state’s existing cybersecurity workforce lacks diverse representation, particularly among women, persons of color, and veterans. The Lasell University Cybersecurity Education Center (LUCEC) seeks to address these workplace gaps and help ensure that people and businesses in the state can be protected against cyberattacks by expanding Lasell’s cybersecurity program through the establishment of a virtual cybersecurity range. The Lasell cybersecurity range will be a hyper-realistic cyber simulation platform that will mimic real-world problems in the cybersecurity realm, serving as a hands-on cyber lab for students, as well as an advanced, simulated training environment for cybersecurity professionals. The range would draw more students to Lasell to study cybersecurity and experience the specialized, hands-on learning opportunities that Lasell offers. If funded, LUCEC will address the talent gap by increasing the number of skilled, trained, and experienced cybersecurity professionals by 150 in the first year and 500 over three years of project implementation. The multi-disciplinary curriculum will meet students where they are by offering industry certificate programs, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees. Students will gain a theoretical and practical foundation in the principles of information assurance, and in ethical institutional practices and behaviors. They will also gain direct experience through team-based projects, hands-on activities, and security-related internship assignments. The program’s professional focus on career readiness will prepare graduates to help safeguard organizations on the internet, including in areas such as national security policy, cyber investigation, and vulnerability testing.

Senator Markey MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Independence House, Inc. This funding amount is requested to construct a 2,700 square foot building adjacent to a current out of date building to serve domestic and sexual violence victims. Taxpayer dollars are justified when we consider that in 2008, domestic violence was declared a public health emergency in Massachusetts. Independence House, Inc. founded in Barnstable County by residents who identified a pressing community need, is now in its 43rd year, with its intact relevant and timeless mission of helping all domestic and sexual violence victims, survivors and children by creating opportunities for safety and empowerment through crisis intervention. This funding supports a cost-effective construction of a 2,700 square foot building for Independence House, Inc., the only resource, counseling and advocacy center for victims/survivors of domestic and sexual violence in Hyannis, MA. The building is replacing our current building which lacks energy efficiency, is not up to building and fire codes for the 21st century; is not 100% ADA compliant, and lacks adequate space and privacy needs for counseling victims/survivors. This building will serve the needs of all domestic and sexual violence victims/survivors in Barnstable County in all towns and villages. The building itself will provide increased safety and privacy and meet the demand for the new and additional services Independence House, Inc. has experienced over the last 43 years, and improve the work environment and ultimately mental the well-being of our dedicated staff. The building will offer a much needed lunch area for employees, protected /secure entrance for survivors and a secure private waiting room . New and expanded services to be offered in the new building include an ADA compliant accessible food panty; therapeutic art space to aid healing, and enhance well-being; specialized therapeutic spaces to support the mental health and safety needs for adults and children exposed to domestic violence; specialized tailored therapeutic services to support most underserved survivors/victims including BIPOC victim/survivors and victims/survivors with disabilities.

Senator Markey MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies University of Massachusetts Lowell The Year 2 Expansion will establish an extension of RHSA supports through participating students' sophomore year, something the university does not have the resources to fund. The second year will offer similar supports as the freshman year program, plus a professional mentoring program and other enhanced opportunities, with an emphasis on continued academic success and preparation for upper-division coursework and responsibilities. We will also offer retention housing and textbook scholarships for high-achieving, need-based second-year RHSA students. A major focus for this expansion is on the creation of “on ramps” for students to get involved in more advanced, upper class year opportunities through university, college, and departmental research, learning, and co-curricular programs where first-generation students, students of color, and students from low-income backgrounds are traditionally underrepresented. Scholarships will also be a key support for students to incentive their engagement in RHSA proamming and alleviate the financial pressures many first-gen students face in paying for college. Pathways to Career will offer junior and senior students a suite of ongoing supports and opportunities focused primarily on career readiness, whether a student plans on moving directly into the job market or applying to graduate school. This expansion initiative will involve three primary strategies: 1) 1-on-1 supports through coaching and mentoring; 2) leadership positions and development through Peer Leader program and other leadership roles; 3) other supports and opportunities, including a professional development fund (to cover costs associated with professional attire, job hunting, graduate school applications, etc.), industry-specific initiatives (such as targeted supports for students moving into engineering, sciences, health, or criminal justice fields), and other career readiness, networking, and job opportunity programs.

Senator Markey MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Island Health Care FQHC In November 2020, a hospital-sponsored dental clinic on Martha’s Vineyard serving Medicaid and the state's Health Safety Net patients closed abruptly, leaving the low-medium income population with extremely limited access to dental care and no access to a pediatric dentist. To meet this crisis of limited access to oral health and safety-net dental services for families and children on Martha’s Vineyard, Island Health Care FQHC has purchased space and developed architectural and operational plans to build and equip a four-chair, full-service dental clinic. Our proposed CDS project provides start-up funding for salary and housing support for dental clinic staff, support of an adult and pediatric residency training program, additional equipment, supplies, and other necessary expenses including tele-dentistry for the center's first 12 months of operations. Start-up operational funds from the proposed project will greatly shorten the time it will take to meet the needs of the service area's 21,000 year-round residents, the majority of whom are presently without any access to oral health care and include most of the children who live on Martha's Vineyard. As a federally-qualified community health center, Island Health Care is well-positioned to fill this gap in access to dental care. FQHC's can receive enhanced reimbursement rates from government insurers such as Medicaid (MassHealth) which has recently dramatically increased payments to health centers for medical and dental services. Once up and running with start-up funding support, the business model for staffing and operationalizing the rural dental center, and for partnering with Boston University's Goldman School of Dental Medicine for training and pediatric specialty support, will be highly sustainable.

Senator Markey MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Tufts University School of Dental Medicine Dental care remains the largest unmet health care need of children, especially for those with disabilities. Tufts University School of Dental Medicine proposes an innovative mobile dental clinic program that brings care to every child in Boston and across Massachusetts, especially the most vulnerable, through an innovative integrated system of care that aims to improve and prioritize oral health-related quality of life. The mobile dental clinic will leverage existing resources and deep expertise to reach the unreachable. TUSDM has ongoing school-based screening and dental education programs in Boston public schools. TUSDM also maintains a network of seven clinics to serve people with special and complex medical needs. However, we have found that the current brick-and-mortar infrastructure does not allow us to treat those children that face the most challenges. Poverty, lack of social support, living in a single parent household, immobility due to a complex medical problem (such as quadriplegia), serious intellectual or developmental disabilities are all factors that create significant barriers to dental care. The mobile dental clinic provides a solution to many of these barriers and enhances our ability to visit our patients in their natural environment. Boston MA $650,000 Website Letter

Senator Markey MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology We seek a federal appropriation to establish the new interdisciplinary Center for Energy Efficiency Training at Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology. As the MA House and Senate debate a new Climate Bill to support the landmark one passed in March 2021 it is concerning that we still don’t have the trained workforce to help achieve the 2050 net-zero goal for the Commonwealth. This request will fund the start of new for-credit programs and shorter non-credit programs sorely needed to skill up the local cleantech workforce in energy efficiency as well as sustainable construction and the trades. BFIT’s high-quality Energy Efficiency Training programs provide affordable expertise and training to untapped and racially diverse talent. Unlike any other colleges in the Commonwealth, 74% of our students identify as people of color and 86% are male. The full-time job placement rate one year after graduation is 85%. Collectively, our Energy Efficiency Training programs provide pathways to economic security for students and their families--most of whom are extremely low-income (household earnings of $23,800 in FY21). Our training programs help these individual learners double their household income with one or two years of career-focused college courses. We are proud to be helping to build the diverse pool of talented workers needed for the Commonwealth to meet its goal to become carbon-neutral by 2050 and to do so in a way that centers equity.

Senator Markey MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Berkshire Community College Berkshire Community College (BCC) seeks funding through an FY23 Congressional Directed Spending request in order to purchase and install two generators that will keep the campus operational during a power outage or other emergency situation. BCC is committed to ensuring a safe and secure environment for its students, faculty and staff and has recently made some significant investments to its technology infrastructure, classroom buildings, and security systems. Without backup power capabilities, however, BCC is unable to operate or maintain these systems in the event of an electrical outage. On average, BCC experiences four to five major outages each year, most lasting five to six hours, which often requires the closure of the campus and the cancellation of classes. The College has a limited backup power source for its computer servers, which only lasts a few hours. Power outages can significantly impact BCC’s wireless capabilities, telephone, security, fire alarm, lighting for evacuation routes, andomputer systems. Two standby emergency generators will not only provide power to the campus, but will also allow BCC to serve as a regional shelter for Berkshire County. BCC has been identified by the Central Berkshire Regional Emergency Planning Committee as a prime location for a large-scale regional shelter, however, it cannot do so without the availability of backup power. The Regional Sheltering Plan has been developed in partnership with the Massachusetts Emergency Management Association as part of the Commonwealth’s effort to establish community-based shelter locations. The Plan is built around 12 communities in Central Berkshire County including Becket, Dalton, Hancock, Hinsdale, Lanesborough, Lee, Lenox, Peru, Pittsfield, Richmond, Washington, and Windsor. This project will impact residents in all these communities. BCC has been chosen to serve as a regional shelter because of its large capacity athletic facility, personal hygiene facilities, and food service capabilities. Unfortunately, the facility lacks is a large capacity backup electrical generator and accompanying transfer switch equipment to facilitate power needs if the electric distribution system should fail. Funding will provide support for an engineering study, upgrades to BCC’s current electrical system, as well as the purchase and installation of two standby commercial-grade generators. BCC estimates the overall cost to be approximately $500,000. Pittsfield MA $500,000 Website Letter

Senator Markey MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies United Way of Massachusetts Bay & Merrimack Valley Shared Services MA is a proven economic development initiative that invests in the workforce needs of Family Child Care (FCC) businesses and increases the sustainability of the early education sector. In a state with high levels of income inequality, supporting workers in low-wage service and care work is one of our greatest challenges. According to the Center for American Progress, the cost of providing child care during the pandemic has risen by 70% for FCC providers nationwide. The pandemic has accelerated these trends and only worsened the prospects of FCC businesses. Data from the MA Department of Early Education and Care indicate that the number of licensed FCC providers declined by 4% between May 2020 and September 2020. Across the Commonwealth, over 300 FCC businesses closed their doors. FCC entrepreneurs, primarily women of color and immigrants, are an integral part of the state’s economy. Yet, despite their indispensable roles, they lack the business support that other types of entreprenes receive such as budgeting, rate setting, and marketing. Shared Services MA provides business training and peer support networks for FCC providers who face many challenges including isolation, limited resources and support staff, and lack of business expertise. To date, Shared Services MA has trained over 700 FCC educators across the commonwealth and mobilized more than 1,000 early educators to access free resources on business and pedagogical best practices. Shared Services MA has an evidence-based, four-pronged model: 1) financial stability and growth opportunities via small business grants; 2) business training with emphasis on technology skills; 3) coaching, technical assistance from subject matter partners who are experts in their field and Communities of Practice to implement learnings and strengthen networks; and 4) developmental screenings to identify needs and deliver early intervention, so children enter school ready to learn. Through this approach, FCC providers gain tools to succeed long-term as both educators and owners of FCC businesses. This program simultaneously increases economic opportunity for child care providers and the families they serve, as well as targeting developmental supports for children in need. As our region grapples with the longstanding economic crisis and a growing demand for affordable care, UWMB requests $1,397,495 to increase the presence of the Shared Services MA program for family childcare educators in Massachusetts.

Senator Markey MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Greater New Bedford Community Health Center, Inc. Taking into account the effects COVID-19 has had on the population with an ever-increasing demand for mental health services by our primary care providers, Greater New Bedford Community Health Center, Inc. (GNBCHC) has embarked on an effort to integrate mental health services into primary care practices throughout GNBCHC. Currently there is inadequate space and exam rooms to provide primary care services and therefore adding mental health counselors to our teams has been challenging. With the $2M in funding received from the 2022 Community Project Funding (CPF) we will be constructing a central registration and main entrance to GNBCHC. This project will allow us to add/upgrade elevator access to our third floor that currently serves as an administrative department and will be transformed into a patient service area with additional funding from CPF in 2023. We intend to relocate current administrative services across the street to our new building and create a campus setting to better serve the most vulnerable and needy families in the New Bedford area. We will create behavioral health counseling rooms and hire Licensed Independent Clinical Social Workers (LICSWs) and Community Health Workers (CHWs) to work collaboratively with our medical teams to receive warm handoffs for patients experiencing serious mental health concerns. Once the patients have been stabilized, our mental health team can work with the patients and medical teams to create a plan of care for long-term stabilization.

Senator Markey MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Boston Public Health Commission In early 2021, the City of Boston engaged in a landmark effort to house over 150 individuals living in tents and homeless encampments. As part of the effort low-threshold transitional housing sites were established both within existing shelters and new non-congregate sites across the City. As individuals achieve stability, they are placed in permanent supportive housing in locations throughout Boston and across the state. These low-threshold housing sites integrate mental health and substance use counseling and medical care. Incorporating a low-threshold workforce program would provide another avenue for hope and stability and add to important wraparound services. Boston MA $1,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Edward M. Kennedy Community Health Center, Inc. Kennedy Community Health is seeking CDS to assist in expanding access to health care for marginalized populations and people of color as we open our new and second health center site in Worcester at 605 Lincoln Street. The funding will support 12 FTEs of the many new staff required to support the following: expanded dental, behavioral health and urgent care practices; our optometry program; a small pharmacy; and support staff. Seizing the opportunity to almost double our footprint in Worcester, we purchased a building at 605 Lincoln Street, a half mile from our flagship health center at 19 Tacoma Street. The Worcester regional 2018 Community Health Assessment noted two issues that must be addressed to improve health status and reduce existing disparities: racism, discrimination and health equity and health system issues (workforce issues, …). Our proposal to expand health care services in Worcester will address these concerns. Seizing the opportunity to almost double our footprint in Worcester,n 2021 we purchased 605 Lincoln Street, a half mile from our flagship health center at 19 Tacoma Street. Operating two large health centers will expand our capacity and increase access to vital health care services, especially for vulnerable populations. The new facility will house expanded dental, behavioral health and urgent care, a small pharmacy, our optometry practice and other related services. We are seeking funding for 12 new FTEs to support some of this growth. These new staff will be hired from the communities we serve and we strive to hire staff who represent our patient demographics. Our approach to expanding access was strategic in that the purchase of 605 Lincoln Street is allowing us to move and expand our dental and behavioral health practices while freeing up space in our flagship health center site at 19 Tacoma Street, Worcester to grow primary care and increase access to culturally and linguistically competent medical care for the citizens of Central Massachusetts. The extra space at our flagship health center will also support the growth of our 340b pharmacy and its move the first floor for easy access, and the expansion of our Ryan White HIV, MAT, LGBTQ+, and trans practices.

Senator Markey MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Island Health Inc. dba Island Health Care FQHC The proposed project provides start-up funding for salary and housing support for dental clinic staff, support of an adult and pediatric residency training program, additional equipment, supplies, and other necessary expenses including tele-dentistry for the center's first 12 months of operations. Start-up operational funds from the proposed project will greatly shorten the time it will take to meet the needs of the service area's 21,000 year-round residents, the majority of whom are presently without any access to oral health care and include most of the children who live on Martha's Vineyard. As a federally qualified community health center, Island Health Care is well positioned to fill this gap in access to dental care. FQHC's can receive enhanced reimbursement rates from government insurers such as Medicaid (MassHealth) which has recently dramatically increased payments to health centers for medical and dental services. Once up and running with start-up funding support, the business model for staffing and operationalizing the rural dental center, and for partnering with Boston University's Goldman School of Dental Medicine for training and pediatric specialty support will be highly sustainable.

Senator Markey MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Greater Lawrence Greater Lawrence Family Health Center (GLFHC), a federally qualified community health center in the Massachusetts 3rd Congressional District, seeks $3.0 million in federal Community Project Funding for the relocation and expansion of Substance Use Disorder Services (SUD), homeless outreach services, and other vital community support and enabling services the Health Center now offers at 100 Water Street in Lawrence, MA. This funding will help GLFHC address major gaps in health equity in our community and equally important to this expansion is that this project will also allow the Health Center to fully integrate these services with its infectious disease services & primary health care services offered at all other sites thereby following a true Patient Centered Medical Home model (PCMH) for all Health Center patients. The Health Center currently provides comprehensive primary healthcare to over 62,000 registered patients annually, however this void in service delivery must be addressed for our region’s st vulnerable patients – those suffering and at risk for substance use disorder, infectious diseases and/or homelessness. The current space at 100 Water Street (~4000 square feet) is not adequate nor does it conform to DPH regulatory standard requirements to serve as a true Health Center clinic. The relocation from Water Street to a larger site (~8000-10,000 square feet) will allow for our Community Support Services Division to expand its outreach throughout the Greater Lawrence footprint and provide expanded access to SUD Services, healthcare for the homeless, HIV, Hepatitis C Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI’s) and outreach services. GLFHC currently operates seven Health Center sites in Lawrence, Methuen, and Haverhill and has identified the need to expand these services in the city of Lawrence, thus ensuring the addition of increased access to comprehensive primary health care services for our most vulnerable population in the city. The Water Street site has been the headquarters fothese important healthcare service lines and has served as a lifeline for some of those most underserved residents of Lawrence and surrounding areas. GLFHC is truly a leader in this area of health care delivery and is often called upon by other communities to address these same issues through not only care delivery, but also training and education. That fact alone has created the need for the Health Center to identify and move its location in the next 12-18 months in order to meet the current demand and expand service delivery, creating Methuen MA $3,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Community Servings Community Servings has been operating in the Commonwealth for 32 years, and has made and delivered over 10 million medically tailored meals to date. As the link between food and health has become more evident, Community Servings has made it their mission to alleviate the immense barrier of acquiring diet specific ingredients and cooking nutritionally beneficial meals for chronically sick individuals, and to deliver food that can truly be considered medicine for their clients. They offer 15 medical diets that meet the medical and nutritional needs of clients with HIV/AIDS, cancer, kidney disease, diabetes, and other life-threatening illnesses. As just one example of this program’s proven benefits, a research study published in JAMA-Internal Medicine in 2019 found that health care costs were reduced 16% and hospitalizations reduced 49% for high cost, high need patients receiving medically tailored meals. In addition to their MTM program, Community Servings has also integrated workforce development into theirrganization through the Teaching Kitchen, which is a free 12-week job training program for people interested in careers in the food service industry who face barriers to full-time employment. Community Servings is committed, in all programs and business practices, to prioritize racial and economic justice and health equity. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, the demand for Community Servings’ services has skyrocketed and the agency has responded by doubling the number of meals and clients served monthly. The agency is now providing nearly 900,000 medically tailored meals to 4,000 clients, their dependent children and caregivers annually. To meet this increased demand, Community Servings is looking to expand services to different parts of the state and deliver on their promise of putting every kind of equity at the center of their operations, including geographic. By increasing storage and delivery capacity to efficiently serve critically and chronically ill clients, Community Servings will reach a wider variety of communities across Massachusetts including Worcester, Leominster and other MA-District 2 communities, increase their ability to partner with local foods producers, improve sustainability through meal packaging, and expand their capacity to stockpile medically tailored meals for emergency use due to natural disaster or pandemic response. This expansion will support the preparation and delivery of 3.3M medically tailored meals over the next three years to an average of 4,000 clients annually who are experiencing critical and chronic illness and nutrition insecurity. https://www.servings.org MA $1,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Markey MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Codman Square Neighborhood Development Corporation The purpose of our request is to help Codman Square NDC in the acquisition phase of a larger affordable housing project. The project as a whole is indeed a construction project, but, as noted in question 15, above, our request concerns only the acquisition of the property on which the larger project will be built. On the Square Housing is an innovative way to leverage existing Codman Square NDC (CSNDC) assets, enliven and strengthen the core Codman Square business district in Dorchester, on behalf of the predominantly low/mod income minority owned businesses that exist there, and provide approximately 48 new affordable housing units to low-income residents, increasing supply and stabilizing this vulnerable population in place against rapidly rising housing prices. We will build four new stories of apartments above an existing 1-story commercial block already owned by a CSNDC subsidiary. In addition to the immediate benefits of the project, it can serve as a model for other developments of this kind in the mainly single-story Codman Square business district, bringing equity and economic mobility to this district in line with business districts in other, more prosperous districts elsewhere in Boston and its surroundings. The City of Boston is already planning to use a similar approach for new housing above the existing single story Codman Square branch library just 2 blocks up the street from our project location a 587-595 Washington Street.

Senator Markey MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies University of Massachusetts Amherst In 2020-2021, inspired by the arrival of Ellsberg’s papers, the University of Massachusetts sponsored a host of historic ventures to explore his life and legacy—a year-long seminar, the creation of a website (the Ellsberg Archive Project), a series of podcasts by The Ground Truth Project, and a two-day, international, online conference with more than two-dozen high profile scholars, journalists, former policymakers, whistleblowers, and activists that was attended by thousands. Videos of conference sessions hosted on the website have drawn more than 25,000 viewers. The University has an extraordinary opportunity to build on the momentum established by those projects to create something more enduring, an initiative that will continue to draw attention to the Ellsberg archive, the university, and, most importantly, to the vital and still relevant issues so central to Ellsberg’s legacy: the history and ongoing reality of US military intervention overseas, the existential threats posed by nuclear weaponsnd environmental catastrophe, and the challenges and potential of civil struggle to oppose these fundamental risks. This funding will help to stand up the Ellsberg Initiative, which will create a Multidisciplinary Center of Scholarship to promote new thinking about the history and current status of democracy, authoritarianism, imperialism, state secrecy, First Amendment rights, nuclear threats, and environmental crises for the University of Massachusetts’ teachers, fellows, and undergrads.

Senator Markey MA Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Town of Medway Stormwater runoff has become an increasingly pervasive problem for the nation’s waterways and the iconic Charles River is no exception. Stormwater channeled through our drainage system is an agent for carrying pollutants including oils, heavy metals, sediment, bacteria, and nutrients into our waterways. These untreated discharges cause significant degradation in water quality, which affects aquatic life, habitat, and limits recreational opportunities. Excess nutrients, specifically phosphorus, causes harmful algae blooms making the Charles River unsafe to boat or swim at times. Furthermore, the algal blooms lead to reduction in dissolved oxygen which is critical for fish, aquatic wildlife, and the ecosystem as a whole. More frequent and intense precipitation events due to climate change exacerbate the impacts of untreated stormwater discharging into our waterways. To mitigate this issue, the Charles River Watershed communities are tasked with meeting a Total Maximum Daily Load reduction requirement within the next 15 years. The Town of Medway is specifically required to reduce its phosphorus load by 882 pounds. To prevent excess phosphorus from entering the Charles River and its tributaries, the Town must restore previously constructed stormwater structures to their original design in addition to building new structures. By restoring the existing town owned and town managed stormwater structures to their original design, the Town will capture approximately 81 pounds of phosphorus. This is approximately 10% of the total load reduction requirement. Rehabilitating the 95 town managed stormwater structures will not only improve water quality, but it will increase the community's resilience to flooding by restoring the proper storage capacity of these structures.

Senator Markey MA Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies City of Melrose Dedicated in 1921 to serve Melrose’s high-density downtown area, Ell Pond Park is a treasured community and regional resource with a range 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 its central location serves the broader region seeking outdoor recreation and a quiet respite from urban life. The Park has undergone many upgrades over the years but increased usage and drainage problems have led to deteriorated conditions and put pressure on the fragile ecosystem. To address these concerns the City hired consultants Weston & Sampson to develop a Master Plan for Ell Pond Park. Working with city officials, community members, and other key stakeholders, the Master Plan aims to enhance he public use and enjoyment of this site through improvements to critical infrastructure that also promote our sustainability and climate resiliency goals. After two years of work identifying the needs and outlining improvements and through extensive community engagement, the City is ready to implement these measures and restore the Park in an environmentally sustainable way.

Senator Markey MA Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Revolutionary Spaces Revolutionary Spaces, Inc. (RSI) requests $500,000 in 50/50 matching funds to support urgent preservation and conservation work to address persistent water infiltration issues at Old South Meeting House (OSMH), which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. Water infiltration has been a reoccurring issue at OSMH and has caused significant flooding events that resulted in building damage. Most recently, in 2021, flooding was observed at the southwest portion of the lower-level basement, at the upper-level basement foyer at the west below-grade entrance, and at the center portion of the upper-level basement. During these episodes, water pooled throughout the spaces, which rendered much of the basement and sub-basement unusable and required RSI to move parts of the collection offsite after leaking water from the ceiling damaged several items. After removing sections of drywall, RSI found evidence of significant corrosion in the light gauge steel framing, with some sections completely eroded away. The source of water infiltration related to deterioration of the brick masonry, failing waterproofing along the facade, and backups in the system of storm drains that are linked to the unfortunate improper disposal of hypodermic syringes that occurred when the building was closed during the height of the COVID pandemic. Boston MA $500,000 Website Letter

Senator Schumer NY Energy and Water Development USACE The Town of Rye is requesting funding to repair its century-old main seawall and a retaining wall located in its popular and historic waterfront park, Rye Town Park (RTP). Due to age and extreme weather, the seawall and Bath House area retaining wall have deteriorated significantly over the years, with the damage getting exponentially worse during the winter of 2021/2022 due to the frequent shifts between freezing and warm weather. Each wall is experiencing significant crumbling, leading to serious concern for structural integrity and public safety. The current seawall coping is deteriorated to an extent that pieces of concrete are dislodging and falling onto the beach below. The deteriorating coping has also diminished the strength and integrity of the current guardrails which it supports, and the current height and design of the guardrails are not code compliant, posing a threat to public safety. Therefore, the seawall coping will be replaced with a poured concrete cap that will more effectively withstand the effects of time and adverse weather, and the guardrail will be replaced. Additionally, the nearby Bath House area retaining wall will be rebuilt. Because the wall is in danger of collapsing, RTP has installed safety fencing to keep the public away from both sides of the wall, which has resulted in the loss of an entire row of handicapped parking spaces. The proposed improvements will benefit the Rye community, as well as the many out-of-town visitors to RTP, by improving public safety and maintaining the Town's recreational space. Town of Rye NY $1,123,000 Website Letter
Senator Schumer NY Energy and Water Development USACE The Town of Rye is requesting $1,000,000 in funding to complete a sustainability project at historic Rye Town Park (RTP) that will result in significant long-term improvements for the environmental health of the park. Currently, runoff from the park's pond and parking lot flows unmitigated into the Long Island Sound (LIS) and contributes pollutants from the surrounding residential community and the park site's vehicular use. Over the years, the LIS has experienced a diminished water quality and the deterioration of natural habitats from residential and commercial development. Stormwater runoff and other pollutants have also affected natural riparian buffer zones, which has led to further issues. In areas like parking lots and other hard surfaces, water cannot absorb through the ground as it does in undeveloped areas. As a result, stormwater flows over from the parking lot into the nearby water body or storm drain. This runoff can contain pollutants like that from fertilizers, household waste, and vehicles, as well as nitrogen and phosphorous. Implementing green infrastructure into the RTP parking lot, as well as restoring a method of natural filtration from the pond on site will address stormwater runoff by slowly filtering it or soaking it into the porous pavement subsurface or, in areas where needed, directing runoff into a new bioretention area. These two actions will help to repair the natural environment and remove pollutants so that the existing concerns flowing into the LIS are mitigated and future contaminants are reduced or eliminated.

Senator Schumer NY Energy and Water Development Tompkins County The EV ARC is a stand-alone solar-powered electric vehicle charging station that helps promote adoption of electric vehicles while also enhancing resiliency. The contained unit fits in the space of a standard parking space and features a solar array to charge directly from the sun, avoiding costly utility interconnections and allowing the units to be moved, if necessary. The charging stations can be set-up to charge up to six vehicles at a time and can supply 265 miles of range per day which is more than enough to power most of the County's electric vehicle fleet needs. Furthermore, the systems can also be equipped to allow additional plug-loads to draw from the station's battery, allowing for more emergency loads to be utilized and adding greater resiliency to County operations. Installation is quick, with no electric work, construction, or permitting required. Best of all, this highly visible solution not only helps spread public awareness, but also enhances County resiliency. Tompkins County NY $128,000 Website Letter
Senator Schumer NY Energy and Water Development Tomp "At present, Tompkins County features one of the highest rates of electric vehicle (EV) adoption in New York State. However, while the County boasts an increasing number of level two charging stations that allow vehicles to charge in 6-8 hours, there exists no level three or DC ""fast"" charging stations over 25kW other than the proprietary Tesla ""Supercharger"" stations. For the county with the highest per-capita number of EVs in upstate New York, this is a situation that must be remedied. We propose to install a DC Fast Charging Station and to help grow public adoption of electric vehicles and to enhance the ability to travel through the Finger Lakes region via electric vehicle. This funding will help cover the cost of the station itself, upgrades to electric infrastructure to allow the installation of the station, and signage to help promote the existence of the new station and further encourage public adoption of electric vehicles."

Senator Schumer NY Energy and Water Development USACE The Town of Hempstead has approximately 20,000 acres of salt marshes, part of which is monitored by the Department of Conservation and Waterways. This project is intended to reverse some of the salt marsh loss that has occurred within the Town of Hempstead over the past century. Sediment will be dredged from active boat channels that shoals have formed in due to sediment brought in by normal tidal currents and hurricanes, such as Hurricane Sandy. The placement of the dredged sediment on marshes will add enough height to degraded marshland so that approximately 4.25 acres of additional native marsh vegetation is able to grow on these marshes. This will also result in the additional benefit of improved navigation for recreational and commercial vessels. Town of Hempstead NY $778,000 Website Letter

Senator Schumer NY Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Cooperative Development Institute Funding from this source will be used to act on the recommendations of a May 2017 analysis to relocate the retail business from its current location (2,500 square feet) to a new location with 4,000 to 4,500 square feet of sales area within one building. The overall size of a new Co-op building should be approximately 7,000 square foot to include offices, a classroom or meeting space, restrooms, back stock and general storage, a walk-in cooler, a walk-in freezer, and bakery and deli production areas; be fully ADA-compliant; be energy efficient; and, have a loading dock easily accessed by delivery trucks ranging in size from pick-ups to tractor trailers. According to the analysis, a new facility at the ideal location (along Market St. near its intersection with Sandstone Drive) will realize increased sales from $1.8 million per year to $4.5 million within four years, adding jobs incrementally.

Senator Schumer NY Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Air Force Research Laboratory Construction of these towers to support RDT&E efforts of AFRL will provide resilient and modernized HF and LF infrastructure for USAF use. Completion of this project will provide AFRL/RI the capability to advance warfighting communication technologies and allow the USAF to satisfy requirements set forth in the2018 National Defense Strategy. This project is a RDT&E based project that will have minimal effect on USAF assets and subsequently asset management principles. This project is needed at this time to keep up with advancing communication technologies as the USAF has fallen behind its counterparts in regards to BLOS communication. Rome Lab is also a source of growth for the regional economy and a major source of employment. According to the U.S. Air Force's 2020 economic impact analysis, Rome Lab employed over 1,200 workers with an annual payroll of $150 million and generated over $500 million in regional economic activity. Rome Lab has a strong commitment to excellence in developing and enhancing this nation's cybersecurity infrastructure, as well as its commitment to employing local residents with good-paying jobs. Ensuring Rome Lab has the most up-to-date facilities is crucial to its success. Investment in our USAF global HF infrastructure has been minimal to non-existent since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. Recent events and unanticipated threats to our primary BLOS communication infrastructure have combined to illustrate that an adjunct communication capability is necessary. Resilient, redundant, and contingency communications in support of Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency (PACE) planning are imperative to direct lethality from joint and combined forces. Our current HF networks, (some of which were established as far back as World War I), can no longer provide us this resiliency, unless we modernize using the latest technologies. The use of technologies such as moving to digital versus our current analog systems can provide capabilities that far exceed our current, historical 3 kilohertz analog voice and data quality. Intelligent recapitalization and technology insertion are required to provide both a greater capability and technological growth path to maintain mission capabilities in increasingly challenging operational environments. If this project is not enacted, the USAF will not have the means to effectively and economically test, verify and validate proposed S&T and advanced technology desperately required to meet the needs of the Air Force. There are no commercially viable alternatives that can complete this testing and produce the data the Air Force will require to drive the acquisition decisions needed to meet the requirements to modernize the HF infrastructure. The current instantiation of the test facility in place is highly limited in its ability to conduct research on the impacts of polar and trans-auroral environments on HF, on testing advanced software defined radios (SDR), on long haul communication testing as well as providing operationally relevant data to the user community. This will result in slower development of the needed technology and increased cost to the taxpayer. Rome (Oneida County) NY $4,500,000 Website Letter

Senator Schumer NY Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies CenterState Corporation for Economic Opportunity The "Southeast Gateway" corridor of Syracuse has long been subjected to disinvestment, urban renewal, and concentrated poverty. However, in more recent years, it has been viewed as an opportune site for economic revitalization, based upon its proximity to the burgeoning Downtown and University Hill districts, and an imminent transformational project within the Interstate 81 corridor. These factors create a sense of urgency for initiating a comprehensive, community-driven, and equitable revitalization strategy. Since 2018, CenterState CEO and its community partners have advanced this vision, but one property, more than any others, presents an obstacle to true neighborhood revitalization: the historic "Sears Building", at 1300 South Salina Street. Once heralded as "one of the most attractive mercantile buildings erected in Syracuse", the building now is effectively vacant and increasingly falling into disrepair. After years of failed efforts, the Allyn Family Foundation and CenterState CEO, in partnership with the City of Syracuse, have an opportunity to acquire the property. It is the shared goal of the project partners to restore the building to its original grandeur, while also creating significant economic opportunities for nearby residents. The partners will do this with extensive community engagement - and a commitment to creating neighborhood benefits. This effort will leverage previous investments in the Southeast Gateway Corridor, SUNY EOC, JMA Wireless, Blueprint15, and the STEAM high school. We are looking for support in helping to stabilize the building, specifically costs associated with environmental remediation and shoring up exterior masonry. Syracuse NY $1,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Schumer NY Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Hudson The City proposes to utilize Federal funding to design and implement sidewalk improvements east of 2nd Street which will follow the ADA Standards for Accessible Design, as identified in a 2020 Accessibility Compliance Review of defined areas within the City. The City of Hudson proposes to complete the Hudson Sidewalk ADA Accessibility Compliance Improvements Project to address critical pedestrian infrastructure deficits throughout the city. According to the US Census Bureau, the City of Hudson has a population estimate of 6,072 (2019 U.S. Census), of whom 17.5% have a disability and are under the age of 65. While the facilities were built to the building and code standards at the time of construction, the majority of the public spaces within the City were largely designed and built before the enactment of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). As a result of this and the age of features within the City, instances of noncompliance are present which limit accessibility for many residents and visitors. The lack of crosswalks, dangerous intersections, and increasing truck traffic makes pedestrian travel difficult, especially for individuals who are mobility challenged. It is a high priority of the City to create a more walkable city, with safe streets that are accessible to everyone. The City of Hudson is poised to take the next steps toward ADA compliance and improved accessibility for all residents and visitors. Hudson NY $5,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Schumer NY Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Niagara University Niagara University is requesting funds to complete the Academic Innovation Hub. The Hub is in the heart of the North end of the City of Niagara Falls in the Bridge District. This area is distressed and like other blighted areas it is plagued by a low number of homeowners, few businesses, a high crime rate, and low literacy rates which impact revitalization efforts. The Hub will function as a community education space and will provide residents opportunities to attend speaker events, concerts, art shows, and community meetings. In addition, we will offer short-term workforce development classes.

The Hub's location in the city makes it an ideal location for residents to attend training. The Hub is accessible by bus for those outside of the north end and is walkable for those residing in the neighborhood. All course offerings contain classwork leading to an industry recognized credential. Successful completion provides the student options for direct employment or a pathway to a post-secondary degree.

Senator Schumer NY Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Village of North Syracuse Centerville Park is centrally located within the Village along the northbound side of South Bay Road between Wells Avenue East, Centerville Place, and Church Street. The site currently consists of a parking area, playground, basketball court, sledding hill, pavilion, and lawn area. The park received Community Development and Save the Rain funds in 2013 to improve drainage issues, court resurfacing, reduction of impervious area, walkway resurfacing, parking area resurfacing, and tree plantings. With this work, the Village's in-kind services involved installing a pavilion. With the amount of use this park is now receiving between the park activities and pavilion rentals, bathroom facilities are needed. This requires users to leave the park if they need to use the restroom facilities. Adding restroom facilities for park users would require tying into the existing Village sewage system (~300 LF), the OCWA water system (~300 LF), and the National Grid electrical system that are all located along adjacent South Bay Road (CR 208). Each of the two (2) unisex ADA restrooms would have a toilet, sink, mirror, tissue dispenser, soap dispenser, hand dryer, waste receptacle, grab bars, door hooks, slip resistant flooring, lighting, and signage. Energy efficient and sensor-sensitive water and lighting fixtures will be used.

Senator Schumer NY Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Village of Trumansburg The Fire and EMS facility is critical for the region. There is no readily available replacement coverage for these two departments in the region. During the times of COVID and a shrinking industry, many small, EMS and fire stations did not survive and more stations have had to expand their reach and capacity to cover those areas without the emergency personnel. The Village of Trumansburg's EMS and Fire Station is now servicing the Town of Ulysses, Town of Covert, and the Town of Hector in addition for the Village's residents and businesses. . Community paramedicine services can help their communities by reducing the burden on other providers, by treating patients in their homes or other locations outside the health centers, community paramedics reduce the number of patients in hospital beds, nursing homes, or emergency rooms, and reducing unnecessary transports. During the time of COVID, this kind of care was even more critical as there was a need to keep the ERs for severe COVID patients and hospitals were running out of rooms and beds for all who needed them. The existing EMS station is not adequate for all of the staff and shared space as is. The Village did look into repurposing the existing facility, but no matter the changes within the same space, it was ultimately not a long-term viable solution for the Village. The Fire department will also use this space and it also continues to grow in coverage area. Please see our additional information. Trumansburg NY $3,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Schumer NY Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station Construct a two story, 4,980 SM (53,600 GSF) permanent construction facility to consolidate the 914 AES, 328 ARS with Crew Readiness, 914 OSS, and 914 OG functions. The existing 914 OG is geographically spread across Niagara ARS in several buildings, none of which are located on the flightline. Being spread across multiple facilities and with no significant access to the flightline hampers command and control, makes coordinated training more difficult and less efficient, duplicates functional spaces, and increases mission response time. The 914 AES is located in Building 804, a 1950s era facility with significant deficiencies and infrastructure issue. The 914 OG, and OSS are located in Buildings 807 and temporarily in Building 321, an intended tanker/boom simulator facility. Building 804 is one of the worst condition buildings on base and will require major renovations to maintain functionality and code compliance. Additionally, there is no current dedicated crew readiness facility. Crew readiness exercises are currently performed in B-500 Billeting. Construction of a new facility will enable demolition of Building 804 as well as B-403, a 1950s era Civil Engineering facility in equally poor condition. Existing B-807 will be repurposed to accommodate Civil Engineering personnel as well as to right size other entities on base in order to facilitate future demolition and consolidation initiatives.

Senator Schumer NY Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Lexington Armory Requesting planning and design funding, totaling $7,595,203, for the Lexington Avenue Armory Rehabilitation. This project is critical to the State of New York/New York Army National Guard and in the best interest of the taxpayer because the historic Readiness Center built in 1904 does not meet current Army readiness standards. The existing Readiness Center lacks modern technologies to include data, communication, building security, and heating and air conditioning systems. The existing administrative, supply, maintenance, instructional multi-purpose training spaces, locker rooms, and male and female latrines and shower rooms have not been modernized since built. Without quick action to modernize and rehabilitate the armory, our Soldiers and their unit readiness will degrade significantly. In addition, the armory does not effectively support civil support operations in our Nation’s largest city. Delays to a top to bottom rehabilitation will only increase future costs and negatively affect Soldier retenti and readiness. After completion of this top to bottom rehabilitation, the armory will be a modern, adaptable, and sustainable facility directly supporting the readiness of the units assigned. It will provide a professional military presence while efficiently supporting unit training, the Army talent management objectives, provide a state-of-the-art mobilization station, support the Army’s equipment modernization priorities, and serve as the epicenter of the state’s civil support response capabilities in Manhattan.

Senator Shaheen NH Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Laconia Police Department The acquisition and installation of technology for expedited notification to law enforcement during an emergency situation, such as an active shooter/intruder or crisis situation, would positively impact the operations of the police department by enhancing coordination efforts with our city schools to mitigate loss of life and injury to students and staff, and property damage. Positive community impacts include the following: Improved information sharing with local law enforcement; Increased interaction and improved communications between law enforcement and school officials; Reduced notification times to law enforcement; Improved response time to threats and events; Accurate identification of danger (without resort to discriminatory stereotypes or violating privacy); and Increased school safety. The Dispatch Surveillance Technology Integration system connecting the LPD to Laconia schools’ surveillance systems budget request includes the following: planar clarity matrix video wall displays, display wall vio distribution and control, video conferencing system, audio system, technology rack, shelves, extender mounting brackets, rack power distribution center, and rack and workstation connection cable and adapters. The city schools and LPD, due to the city tax cap, do not have funding to support needed equipment and technology cited as a gap/need in the most recent Homeland Security's School Security Assessment reports (one for each building)to meet each of the three physical security capabilities of surveillance, access control, and emergency alerting. The community impact is directly related to the protection of Laconia citizens and positively impacts the local community taxes from having to be diverted from LPD personnel costs (i.e., creating a reduction in the number of officers LPD can support and sustain) and used for one-time equipment and technology costs. As the secondary Emergency Operations Center in the city of Laconia, as is written in the city's Emergency Operations Plan, it is critical that the LPD maintain adequate staffing and ability to secure the operation center and emergency dispatch for the city. LPD is forced to work diligently in leveraging external funding sources to meet a variety of needs and gaps identified by Homeland Security and to align with NH Homeland Security and Emergency Management's Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan. This project addresses the need to improve response time to threats and events by reducing officer response time, accurately identify danger(s) on school campuses, increase school safety, and mitigate loss of life and injury to students and staff, and property damage.

Senator Shaheen NH Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office K-9 Niko's current mode of transportation is no longer capable of supporting he and Deputy Fleming's expanded service to New Hampshire. Their vehicle is near its end of life. More importantly, it does not provide basic essentials commonly afforded to K-9's working in public safety. Most notably, K-9 Niko's current vehicle does not have and cannot be practically modified to provide remotely monitored A/C or heat, window guards, safety barriers, circulation fans or appropriate K-9 exit or entry. This lack of appropriate equipment creates a substantial barrier toK-9 Niko and Deputy Fleming's continuing success. This project would remedy that now and for the foreseeable future. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office requests assistance in the purchase of a sport utility vehicle modified for use in emergency responses. Modification of the vehicle is anticipated to include but not limited to the purchase and installation of emergency radio communication equipment and emergency lights/sirens. As this vehicle is to be utilized by Deputy Fleming and K-9 Niko, this request includes the purchase and installation of equipment suitable for K-9 Niko's transportation, mobile deployment and the secure storage of associated specialized equipment. In the effort to ensure cost-effectiveness, this office has received demonstrations and purchasing information from other public safety agencies utilizing similarly purposed vehicles. This office also maintains professional working relationships with local vendors capable of supplying and/or installing the necessary equipment sought for this project. A specialized vehicle will allow K-9 Niko and Deputy Fleming the opportunity to meet the demands of their increasing work load. This is also measurable. Results will be evidenced by training offered to local law enforcement, speaking engagements at our schools, assistance in investigations no matter where or when required and the comforting of child victims. Through NHICAC, K-9 Niko and Deputy Fleming's deployments and presence in our communities is documented and tracked. This ensures their resources are applied effectively and made available to all NH communities. Should this project be awarded funding, documentation can be expected through the life of the vehicle.

Senator Shaheen NH Homeland Security Manchester Fire Department Manchester Fire Department is requesting funding to renovate and upgrade the Emergency Operations Center(EOC). The EOC is increasingly relied on to support emergencies and preplanned events such as the Taco Tour, Cruising Downtown, road races, parades, and political rallies. The EOC is a multi-functional space accommodating city, state, federal, private sector and nonprofit partners. This project begins with new electrical conduits and network connectivity to outside walls. Currently, multiple conduits are located in the middle of the room prohibiting flexibility configuring the room and has limited capacity. The EOC’s retractable wall is increasingly difficult to move due to a damaged track, which has created a safety hazard. Replacement will allow us to invest in a retractable wall with noise dampening, and will continue to provide the ability to partition the room to support a variety of EOC functions. In doing this, we would like to replace the floor of the EOC, which will assist with noise reducon. The EOC display walls are inoperable due to a parts failure and need to be replaced. The age of this system technical support is no longer available and we are unable to source parts to complete repairs. These systems support display of responder locations, live event mapping, weather conditions, air monitoring devices, and a variety of other live data feeds ensuring public safety and security. This project will include investment in an event management platform for the city.11% of the total request is for Management Costs to account for State oversight. The goal is to have a functional EOC to support planned and unplanned events in the city. Specifically, at the completion of this project, we anticipate having adequate electrical and network ports to support a Full EOC activation, to provide a functioning retractable wall, have increased noise reduction, a fully functioning display wall for live data displays and video feeds, video teleconferencing capabilities, and incident management platform. We expect that these renovations and upgrades will provide a fully functioning EOC in which Emergency Management will coordinate with city departments, state and federal agencies, private, non-profit and other partners to manage disasters, as well as preplanned events occurring within the city. This provides a location for a cohesive response and recovery strategy, in order to save and protect lives, protect property, reduce economic impacts, initiate recovery efforts and restore our way of life. Project performance will be kept on track by the project manager, the Emergency Management Coordinator, incoordination with the Business Services Officer who will have fiscal oversight. Administrative oversight for this funding will be completed by the NH Department of Safety, Grants Management Bureau. Manchester NH $338,000 Website Letter
Senator Shaheen NH Homeland Security City of Portsmouth Department of Public Works This project will increase the resiliency of the WWTF by elevating a 400-foot long section of the access road and the adjacent parking area by up to three feed and above the current 100-year floodplain and protect it against projected sea level rise until approximately 2050. A reduction in impervious surfaces will also be achieved by replacing the packed gravel parking area with grass pavers and vegetation, improving stormwater management. Educational signage will be placed at the site to increase community awareness of stormwater management, flood adaptation and resilience efforts. Design of the project is currently at the 75% complete stage and required environmental permits have already been obtained. The parking area requires improvements to reduce flooding as well as stormwater runoff into the Piscataqua River. The NH State Fish Pier provides dockage and support services for the commercial fishing fleet that provides fresh fish and shellfish to the entire Seacoast region, and this project will protect those resources from the catastrophic impacts that would occur should the WWTF or connecting piping fail due to erosion or undermining. This project will increase the resilience of a critical service (delivery and treatment of wastewater as well as potable water) for Portsmouth, New Castle, Greenland and Rye, and combines stormwater management and climate change adaptation by incorporating green infrastructure and reducing impervious surfaces to improve the drainage of the existing parking area. The outcome will result in a site that is more resilient to increased precipitation and extreme storm events, that still allows for continued public parking for amenities including the boat ramp, off-leash dog area, walking trails and recreational facilities, that increases vegetation, and that minimizes impacts to the surrounding sensitive habitat as well as the tidal Piscataqua River.

Senator Shaheen NH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Nashua The Library Plaza reconstruction project would renovate one of the only public green spaces in the heart of downtown Nashua to provide a quality, attractive, cost-effective and low-maintenance outdoor space for the community to enjoy for daily active programming of events and activities. Its current design is in disrepair, can feel unsafe at night due to dark corners, and doesn’t support community use. The renovation would provide energy-efficient lighting solutions, easily-maintained landscaping, space for public art, ADA compliant grading for all walkways, convenient access to power for performances and events and water to sustain landscaping installations. The City believes that the improvement of this currently derelict plaza into a green community asset would improve Downtown Nashua and the well-being of its residents.

Senator Shaheen NH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Canterbury Shaker Village Deferred maintenance, increasingly challenging water infiltration issues, and ADA compliance must be addressed for the Brethrens' Shop facility to continue serving the community. In 2021, under its duty of stewardship, Canterbury Shaker Village commissioned a detailed survey of the condition and needs of its buildings with the help of funding provided by the New Hampshire Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) and private donors. Conducted by DBVW Architects of Providence, RI, this study systematically assessed the environmental and physical conditions that threaten the preservation and survival of the Shaker structures. The report estimated the costs of needed conservation at $4.75 million in 2021 dollars, not including the costs of protective utilities such as emergency electric generation, fire protection, climate control, and alarm systems. This application for Congressionally Directed Spending focuses on the most urgent needs of Brethrens' Shop, the historic Shaker building that serves as the museum’s primary location for community programming and outreach programs. Issues to be addressed include failing roof and gutters, a boiler, a commercial-grade kitchen, two bathrooms, interior rehabilitation and painting, and ADA accessibility. Activities will be carried out in compliance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. The rehabilitated building will offer year-round academic enrichment programming in partnership with organizations like the New Hampshire Academy of Science. Additionally, the museum will potentially collaborate with ORIS to temporarily house and provide skills training for refugees. The goal of this project is to rehabilitate the Brethrens’ Shop building for the benefit of underserved communities in New Hampshire. Originally constructed in 1824, this historical building will honor its Shaker roots with a new public purpose as Canterbury Shaker Village’s hub for educational programming, community activities, and outre Funding will help to address the most pressing recommendations of the 2021 building assessment mentioned above. The project’s goal is to create a new 3,552 square foot community space in the heart of Merrimack County. Canterbury NH $435,000 Website Letter
Senator Shaheen NH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies University of New Hampshire The University of New Hampshire has proposed this project which would provide funding for the final design/engineering, permitting and construction of a 1/2 mile street, culvert/bridge, sidewalk, transit and pedestrian improvements for the corridor connecting Main Street (roundabout) to McDaniel Drive on the campus of the University of New Hampshire, Durham. Portions of the road were constructed with university funds from 2016-19. The road is temporarily being used as a limited detour but requires infrastructure upgrade for general use - and for safe accommodation of transit, pedestrians, and cyclists. Funds would be used to construct a necessary replacement crossing of College Brook with a wider more environmentally appropriate span, realignment of the roadway revised to the footprint of the Health Science Simulation Center (HSSC) and full pedestrian and transit connections. The new brook crossing would be reconfigured at a higher elevation for climate/flood resiliency and compatibility with adjacent College Woods protected area. Durham NH $3,510,000 Website Letter
Senator Shaheen NH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Town of Londonderry The Town of Londonderry has proposed this project which will complete the original 4-lane design section with a walking trail for approximately the full 4,600 linear foot length. The work will include improvements to the 4-major intersections along the corridor: Ray Wieczorek Drive (Manchester Airport Access Roadway), Webb Drive, Industrial Drive and Harvey Road). The walking trail will add to the Town’s ongoing trails program and will work towards providing a multi-modal connection from the existing rail trail to the Airport. This expansion will provide the additional traffic capacity needed to allow for continued economic growth in the area. This project will add two lanes to Pettengill Road, a one-mile road which provides access from the F.E. Everett Turnpike to approximately 1,000 acres of commercially and industrially zoned land located just south of the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. Through a TIF district, the Town was able to fund and complete the first phase of Pettengill Road, constructing the one-mile road with one lane in each direction. The phased design was constructed to accommodate the future expansion of the roadway to two lanes in each direction. Storm water, sanitary sewer, utilities and traffic light infrastructure were constructed to accommodate a four-lane roadway and to allow for future development of the project area. The project has proven to be an economic success, resulting in the construction of nearly 2.5 million square feet of new industrial development. In order to facilitate continued development of this area and expand capacity, widening of Pettengill Road to four lanes is necessary. The Londonderry Housing and Redevelopment Authority is funding an engineering study, which is underway. Londonderry NH $4,300,000 Website Letter

Senator Shaheen NH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Town of Winchester Winchester Economic Development Corporation is seeking funding for Phase II of Stone Mountain Business Park. Using federal and state funds, WEDC recently completed Phase I of the project, which built and installed the necessary public infrastructure for the town’s first and only business park. There is now a public road, water and sewer and reliable power. Funding for Phase II of the project would upgrade an access road drainage culvert, extend utilities on an access road, put together an economic feasibility analysis ‘master plan’ and a workforce housing and childcare plan and acquire an adjacent site for a solar farm. WEDC believes that Phase II would attract business and labor to the business park and eventually provide the social and economic infrastructure (including affordable housing and childcare) that is conducive to young families.

Senator Shaheen NH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Rindge Recreation Department The Playscape will include 7 initial features for play such as; an embankment slide with wheelchair access, rock climbing, log walk, 7' wooden climbing wall, Gaga Pit, TeePee, rope spider web, Pavilion with picnic tables, benches as well as wheelchair accessible walking paths and play features at a total cost of about $175k. Since we are a small town we don't have the funds to pay for this on our own. Our goal is to offer this natural playscape to give our young children and families a place that is fun and encourages them in active play. Natural Play contributes to the overall physical, cognitive, and emotional development of children. It can aid in concentration and self-discipline, helps them experience more diverse play, has shown to decrease aggressive behavior, and increase overall health. If you've ever climbed trees, built forts, climbed rocks, dammed up water, dug in sand, jumped in leaves, or had fun outside in any similar way you've also experienced natural play! This is needed more than ever after many youths in the community are struggling with the effects of COVID-19 and not having their social or physical needs met. The Natural Playground will be designed for all ages and abilities for Rindge residents and surrounding towns alike. We have been actively seeking input from residents into what features and elements they would like to see incorporated into the playground. A few of the staples we have already established will be a walking path around the perimeter of the playground, an embankment slide, log pole steps, a music board, and a balance log walk. "Studies show that when students engage with the ever-changing natural world in their learning environment, they demonstrate better concentration, less stress, higher rates of physical activity, increased engagement and improved self-discipline...Natural settings facilitate a calm, cooperative social landscape where students engage with the nature around them."

Senator Shaheen NH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Laconia This project would enable the City of Laconia to complete the design of its downtown parking garage rehabilitation project and fund the work necessary to rehabilitate the parking garage such that all levels of the garage would meet current structural standards, building codes and ADA accessibility requirements. One of the two decks of the public parking garage had to be closed recently due to structural issues. As a result, the parking available to employees, customers and residents of downtown businesses and apartments barely meets the Downtown’s current needs. This hampers the revitalization of the Downtown that has begun with the restoration of the Colonial Theatre. The City’s efforts to fund the Colonial Theatre project has also limited its ability to fund the annual bond payments necessary to rehabilitate the parking garage.

Senator Shaheen NH Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Town of Whitefield The Town of Whitefield has proposed this project which would update the old iron water main with new High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) water main, per code, correct a failed drainage system and provide safe travel for traffic as well as pedestrians. Union Street (State Road Route 3) dissects the downtown area of Whitefield. This portion of highway needs a new water main as the old unit was installed in 1950 and is now compromised. Additionally, on the south portion of Union St, the drainage was installed by the State of NH in the mid 1980's and, at the time, they used discontinued existing 6 inch clay sewer lines that discharged into the John's River. The original clay pipe was installed in late 1890's and was in a deteriorated state. Presently the clay pipes have collapsed causing the storm water to appear in the road, resulting in hazardous ice conditions in winter as well as a deteriorated road surface in summer. This has resulted in the sidewalk from the grade school being compromised due to the drainage failure. As a result, children must walk in the traffic path in order to traverse the sidewalk. The NH DOT District Engineer has provided a letter in support of this request. Whitefield NH $1,400,000 Website Letter

Senator Shaheen NH Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Town of Winchester The Booster Pump Station and water main replacement projects are crucial and should be addressed as soon as possible to prevent further deterioration of the system. The Booster Pump Station will create a separate pressure zone which will boost the pressure in that zone to meet minimum pressure requirements and eliminate negative pressures that currently result when breaks occur in other areas or when fire hydrants are used in other areas of Town. The existing water mains on Old Chesterfield Road, Howard Street, and Clark Road are in poor condition and have a history of breaks including multiple breaks in that last year alone. Replacing approximately 8,800 linear feet of water main with new 8-inch water main on these roads will improve the Town’s ability to provide consistent, high-quality water to their customers. The new water mains will also help reduce non-revenue and unaccounted for water in the distribution system and improve reliability in the system. Construction of the Booster Pump Station wl aim to increase system pressure in an area that currently experience slow and negative pressures. Upon completion of the project, the pressures in this part of Town will be within the industry standards for reliable water service and minimum pressure requirements as required by New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) regulations. The increase in pressure in this area will be measurable, and the pressure will be reported at the Booster Pump Station for monitoring. Replacing the watermains on Old Chesterfield Road, Howard Street, and Clark Road will eliminate a primary source of water main breaks and leaks on these roads. If the Town doesn’t experience anymore water main breaks on these roads after completion of the project, then the project would be considered a success. The replacement of these water mains is also expected to reduce unaccounted for water in the system, which the Town will be able to track using their metering system.

Senator Smith MN Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Oslo Region Joint Powers Board For the 3-Phase project to be successfully implemented, the river flow dictates the first phase of the project must be the replacement of the 1905 built railroad bridge and highway bridge, built in its shadow in the 1950s at Oslo and the water flow restrictions at the Hwy 17/317. A smaller bridge project on ND 54 at the Grand Marais also protects highway access. These bridges cannot accommodate the present-day water flow rates of a high water event. This phase is the highest cost of the project, and appropriately cost-shared from four CDS cost accounts, including Highway Infrastructure Program (HIP), Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvement Program (CRISI), FEMA Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM), and Watershed Flood Preventions Operations (WFPO). The second phase of the project is reductions to the overbank upstream from Oslo to remove blockages in the river channel. Modified road elevations upstream at the Oslo area protect I-29 and Hwy 1 because it maintains water flow in the natural river channel. The second phase of the project includes costs shared through HIP, FEMA and WFPO. In the third phase of the project, FEAM and WFPO share the cost of removing additional water flow restrictions downstream, such as unused approaches and driveways that divert water away from the river channel.

Senator Smith MN Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies City of Fairmont The City of Fairmont Economic Development Authority (EDA) holds an option to purchase land near the intersection of County Road 39 and Interstate 90 in Fairmont. The parcel includes 37.61 acres that is currently utilized as agriculture land that is zoned for industrial development. The City intends to utilize the land for additional industrial development as the current industrial park has two lots remaining both of which have wetlands that make building prohibitive. The City has completed a preliminary geotechnical report on the property and has recently completed a utility extension to the property line to support the development of the land as an industrial park. The EDA has had numerous businesses interested in the land for possible business development and growth, but without a major business interested in purchasing a sizeable portion of the land, the EDA is not in the position to be able to exercise the option to purchase.

Senator Smith MN Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Fraser Our strategic vision is 35/35, which means no family should have to travel more than 35 minutes or 35 miles to receive autism or mental health treatment in Minnesota. For some therapies, in person care delivery is the best option, but for many services, Fraser is able to provide the same high level of care through telehealth. The continued growth of telehealth allowed Fraser to serve more than 1,000 individuals and families from outside the Twin Cities metropolitan area again in 2021. Last year, 638 of telehealth clients lived more than 50 miles from a Fraser clinic.

Senator Smith MN Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies St. Olaf College "Home to the Mayo Clinic, Medtronic, UnitedHealth Group, and many other esteemed and inventive organizations, Minnesota is a leader in both the healthcare and medical device industries. Minnesota's prosperity and health depends on their success. In turn, these Minnesota organizations rely on a healthcare and STEM workforce capable of designing, testing, and deploying innovative healthcare technology that empowers patients to live their best lives. However, a chronic healthcare worker shortage exists in Minnesota and threatens to worsen due to the state's aging demographics. The demand for healthcare will increase at the same time that a large share of current healthcare workers retire and generate vacancies in the field. For example, the state projects that between 2020 and 2030, double-digit growth will occur in job openings for both physical and occupational therapists; job openings are projected to grow by almost 50% growth for nurse practitioners. More than 45,000 job openings will exist for registered nurses. St. Olaf's proposed renovations directly address this growing need in Minnesota by dramatically enhancing the training of nurses, rehabilitation therapists, and biomedical engineers. It will produce healthcare workers positioned to become leaders and innovators in their fields. For example, Minnesota is already home to the United States' largest 3D printing facility within a medical center, located at the Mayo Clinic. The clinical and surgical future of this facility needs healthcare workers familiar with the possibilities the technology provides to fulfill its promise. Moreover, Minnesota faces a critical shortage of healthcare educators. The proposed renovations will help St. Olaf recruit and retain faculty, as well as attract students interested in pursuing healthcare careers. St. Olaf has an established track record of preparing students well for work in Minnesota's healthcare and medical device industries. Finally, a thoughtfully designed new space will allow St. Olaf to host inspiring outreach activities and events aimed at helping SE MN elementary and secondary school students explore careers in healthcare and engineering. One example of current community outreach is an NSF-funded ""community engineering"" program at St. Olaf, in which engineering students engage in STEM outreach as part of their curriculum. If the renovations are funded, these community engineers will use the fabrication laboratory to construct materials for outreach activities and will introduce community members to rapid prototyping technology."

Senator Smith MN Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension "In the early 2000s, Minnesota public safety leaders worked together to create a governance structure for the buildout of statewide radio network, ARMER (Allied Radio Matrix for Emergency Response). At that time, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) forced a change to radio frequency that nearly all MN public safety agencies were operating on. This included both law enforcement agencies and other emergency response agencies that stretched budgets and prudently leveraged available grant funds to transition to the ARMER network by the required deadline of 2012. With nearly all public safety entities on ARMER, Minnesota has become a national leader in communication interoperability. With the adoption of this new security requirement by the FBI to encrypt any radio traffic transmitting Criminal Justice Information, local law enforcement and other emergency response agencies are faced with not only with the challenge of protecting sensitive data from security breaches while also maintaining a level of interoperability but also a significant financial burden in order to achieve compliance. Total costs are still being determined; however, initial estimates are that it will cost more than $300 million to replace or upgrade all radio equipment in MN. This request would specifically address law enforcement agencies as the target of the Congressionally-Directed Spending funds and would serve as an initial investment to secure funding from multiple sources over a longer period of time. ECN is hosting an Encryption Summit in May to develop a roadmap for this migration statewide and to ensure that careful planning and change management is deployed to make such a significant change. The BCA and ECN view this as a critical opportunity for the state to work in partnership with local law enforcement agencies throughout MN." St. Paul MN $10,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Hennepin County "The Hennepin County Adult Representation Services (ARS) Health Equity Legal Project will provide a full scope of legal and health supportive services to clients before they enter the court system. Current ARS clients include parents and custodians in child protection cases, tenants facing eviction, individuals subject to a guardianship action, and non-custodial parents in child support contempt matters. ARS is largely funded through county property tax dollars. This project is designed to empower and support families and individuals by providing early and culturally-responsive services as well as legal advice in order divert residents from the court system. Specifically, ARS will assist clients in addressing health, social, economic, and legal challenges that are barriers to stability and family preservation Most current ARS clients are assigned a lawyer and legal support services after initial court engagement, yet many clients enter the system because of untreated substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Tight court timelines coupled with the trauma and shame of being involved in a court process often creates insurmountable hurdles for clients who seek to achieve stability. This in turn leads to unnecessary and devastating family separation. Providing an array of services and a skilled legal team will divert clients from the court system. The project addresses the well-being of families in Hennepin County by proving legal assistance, support and resources to individuals and families who need early interdisciplinary care the most. Black, Indigenous and people of color are overrepresented in the Hennepin County justice system. Along the same lines, a majority of parents and legal custodians in the child protection system are identified as having a substance use disorder or struggle from mental health conditions. Providing prompt, deep-end and culturally-responsive services will reduce disparities by improving the likelihood that families will avoid justice system engagement and remain stable and intact."

Senator Smith MN Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies City of Duluth Over the past 4 years the city of Duluth has replaced all portable law enforcement radios. This was done because our current radios had reached end of life and were not AES encrypted. AES encryption is required by the Federal Bureau of investigation for all criminal justice information systems (CJIS) data. Radios are the primary way officers communicate in the field, often CJIS data is part of those transmissions. The Duluth Police Department needs to become compliant with this mandate which we have achieved with our portable radios. To become fully compliant the department needs to purchase 100 mobile in-car radios with AES encryption capabilities. Additionally these radios will be WI-FI compatible meaning they can be programmed remotely and updated when in a secure environment. This feature saves valuable time when radio code plugs need to be changed. Duluth MN $625,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies City Of Hibbing The City of Hibbing has a 24-hour Police/FIre/Ambulance/EMS amenity for the residents of Hibbing and the surrounding areas. The shared facility will include short-and-long-term cost savings and opportunities for operation synergy. Currently, the Police have clerical staff on hand, but the Fire Department does not. with combining the two, clerical staff can be shared between the two departments so there will always be someone to communicated with the public. The City of Hibbing doesn't have the land available to build separate facilities. By combining them, it maximizes a shared area while respecting the operational requirements of each department. This too, will be a cost-savings for the taxpayers. Currently, the Police Department does not have space to keep any of their fleet under cover With a new safety facility, vehicles will last longer and it won't be an added burden on the taxpayers. A combined safety building will unite the Police and Fire and improve coverage so they will function as a full first response crew. This will be a huge benefit to the community for the sense of combined open house for the community, the region, and the State of Minnesota. Because the departments work together, residents will only have to visit one building. The Government Safety Building will give the Police and Fire a Sense of community within their departments, and that is a win for the taxpayers of Hibbing. The State of Minnesota will be directly affected by the City of Hibbing building a Public Safety Center because the Police Department and the Fire Department work directly with the State of Minnesota and the Minnesota State Troopers on many levels.

Senator Smith MN Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Minnesota Department of Corrections "Individuals returning from incarceration face barriers to accessing vital community-based supports. This project will provide evidence-based reentry programming that supports successful outcomes for individuals and communities. Siloed programs result in inefficient service delivery to these communities as staff across programs do not routinely collaborate to support clients. The aim of the Digital Coordination Platform (DCP) is to allow multiple agencies serving the needs of reentering individuals to collaborate and coordinate service delivery. The enabling technology that will allow this real time data sharing is called Pathfinder. Pathfinder's technology allows users to coordinate care in real time to better understand the emotional and physical wellbeing for program participants. A key component of this project will allow DOC to receive a customized platform tailored to the needs of the reentering population. A web dashboard, Pathfinder Bridge, allows support staff to communicate directly with clients, and observe asynchronous engagement by the client on their mobile device through the mobile app, Pathfinder Companion. Check-ins and habit managing by the client give the entire network of support visibility to the progress of the client without the demand for constant synchronous communication with various entities. Program goals for this one-year pilot include: Reduced recidivism Improved health and quality of life outcomes Increased public safety Reduction of emergency department visits Increased retention in probation specialty court programming Reduced incarceration costs" St. Paul MN $1,800,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Le Sueur Police Department "The purpose of this project is to provide the citizens of Le Sueur with public safety technology and tools that will enhance the ability of the Le Sueur Police Department to protect and serve its citizens. This new communication technology will allow police officers and emergency personnel to communicate effectively and securely with each other, dispatch centers, and surrounding emergency service agencies. This new radio system is necessary for secure transmission of private public safety data. This radio system will allow the Le Sueur Police Department to communicate officer to officer, officer to dispatch, and officer to other emergency services including fire departments and ambulance services, and officer to any law enforcement agency in the state. With the proposed purchase of a new fleet of Motorola radios, all these communications would be secure, keeping private data secure, and increase safety for all citizens and officers by keeping sensitive information private. The entire annual operating budget of the Le Sueur Police Department in 2022 was approximately 1.2 million dollars. This includes employee salaries, health benefits, all department training, equipment and necessary expenses to fund a small town police department. A necessary project with a price tag of $180,000 would put a serious strain on an already stretched annual budget. By utilizing this congressionally directed spending request to fund this project, it will help relieve financial burdens from a small community with a small tax base and limited resources while providing cutting edge law enforcement technology to constituents. Many public safety entities were able to utilize CARES Act funds to fund their radio fleet purchases. The City of Le Sueur was hit hard by COVID-19 which caused great hardship within the city owned and run Community Center. The City of Le Sueur choose to utilize the Cares Act funds to support our Community Center to keep that facility open to the public to support physical and mental health of the community. In 2022 the City of Le Sueur increased its tax levy 17%. This caused a significant financial burden to every citizen within the Le Sueur Community. This levy was necessary to fund several large street improvement projects, and the Community Center which was continuing to operate at a deficit. Due to these significant financial constraints on a small tax base of a community of only approximately 4,200, we were not able to fund this necessary emergency communications radio improvement project with local tax dollars.

Senator Smith MN Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Madison Lake Police Department This would add one full-time officer with the Madison Lake Police Department and expand coverage/protection to the citizens of Madison Lake from an average of 10 hours a day to most days having 20 hours of city coverage/protection. This would hopefully ease having to find people willing to work in law enforcement by being able to offer a full-time job versus trying to always hire, train and retain people for part-time positions.

Senator Smith MN Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Hennepin Technical College "Hennepin Technical College (HTC) would like to launch the region's first cross-functional public safety training destination for peace officers, firefighters and EMTs to foster next-level emergency responder education in a live scenario environment. This public safety training space would mimic a neighborhood setting, with multiple structures erected from Conex containers plus a Class A and Class B burn building. These structures would provide a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary training between agencies, as well as prepare professionals and current students to work within a neighborhood to best support the communities they serve. Within the training environment, Conex containers would be stacked to create multi-level structures, allowing participants the ability to practice the various techniques necessary in single-story vs. multi-story emergency response scenarios (i.e., climbing stairs and ladders and entering windows, all while wearing protective gear, carrying fire hoses, stretchers etc.). Participants would also hone skills in emergency vehicle operation (squad cars, fire trucks and ambulances) in approaching and securing the scene, setting up a command center, as well as effectively working alongside community members during crisis. The proposed cross-functional training program would close the gap on existing public safety academic infrastructure at the HTC Law Enforcement Center/Brooklyn Park campus location, creating a wrap-around educational experience for public safety professionals and students. Recent events have solidified the need for first responders to train together to respond to an ever-evolving range of complex emergency events. No call for service is completely handled by any one type of public safety agency anymore. Events such as active shooters, hazardous materials incidents, terrorist attacks, and civil unrest have highlighted the need for joint training in planning, communication, and response. Additionally, a growing focus on social welfare issues such as addiction and mental health emergencies has demonstrated the need for people outside of traditional first responder roles to be trained to assist in a crisis. A regional public safety training facility is needed to provide specialized and cost-effective scenario-based training for a multitude of real-world scenarios that responders encounter on the job.

Senator Smith MN Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Fond du Lac Tribal & Community "Alexandria College with its Minnesota State partner Fond du Lac Tribal & Community College, stand ready to provide the citizens of Minnesota with licensed law enforcement professionals worthy of being entrusted as public servants. Our Minnesota State higher education system, Minnesota POST Board and state legislature recognize the urgency for change as the number of qualified peace officers continues to drop. As these entities are working on changes to help eliminate racism and ensure Minnesota is maximizing its efforts to best recruit and train our future generations of peace officers, we are dealing with the realization that there is significant work that needs to be done in our LE training programs - work that must be sustained in the long-term. Minnesota State graduates over 80% of all Minnesota licensed law enforcement officers. The recent tragic incidents involved decisions made by police officers using levels of force beyond those authorized by law. These incidents have been a driving catalyst for change in how law enforcement works in Minnesota. A Taskforce on Law Enforcement Education Reform advised the Minnesota State Chancellor and Board of Trustees on issues, initiatives, programming, and priorities relative to anti-racism and inequities in law enforcement and criminal justice education systemwide, as well as policing within our communities. The Taskforce made the following recommendations: · All Minnesota State law enforcement and criminal justice programs will commit to the training of culturally competent peace officers for the State of Minnesota; · Recruit and retain black and indigenous persons of color law enforcement officers; and · Educate and train current officers. The Minnesota State higher education system and the Minnesota Peace Officers Standards and Training Board recognize the urgency for specialized training for law enforcement officers to enhance their conflict resolution, mediation, problem solving, service, and other skills needed to work in partnership with members of the community. Both entities are requiring training providers to implement quickly reforms that are responsive and applicable to pre-service and in-service Community Oriented Policing models. Academic instruction is combined with a high degree of hands-on training, but current theory and practice falls short of the desired reforms. These include curricular changes that provide essential skills including cultural competence and de-escalation. New technologies in support of updated curriculum are needed to train and re-orientate law enforcement officers of the future. Updated equipment will allow classroom learning to be applied in real-life settings by simulation, actors, communication systems, patrol vehicles, on-board computers, radios, and a variety of other tools most commonly associated with varied levels of force compliance. The Taskforce recommendations are highly relevant to ATCC and FDLTCC's law enforcement programs and require action now." Cloquet MN $1,090,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Financial Services and General Government Guthrie Theater The ongoing pandemic has affected performing arts organizations especially hard; theaters are still seeing a hesitancy from patrons to return to shows. Ticket sales for our current season have been low; resulting in ongoing financial challenges. This decreased earned revenue affects our ability as an organization to make these needed infrastructure investments. We are committed to launching a full season next year, and in order to fully realize that potential, we need to have our staff and building operating at full capacity. The Guthrie Theater has always been a theater for the people of Minnesota, and our building, productions, and outreach initiatives reflect that. By directing funds toward our needed infrastructure improvements, the Guthrie can continue to produce exceptional theater and serve as a source of inspiration and connection for the community.

Senator Smith MN Financial Services and General Government Pillsbury United Communities Pillsbury House + Theatre (PH+T), a Pillsbury United Communities, arts-integrated neighborhood center and social enterprise hub located at 35th Street and Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis is seeking to expand its footprint by acquiring two adjacent properties at 3525 and 3527 Chicago Avenue. We have a signed, exclusive LOI and are finalizing the purchase agreement with the current business owner, David Halvorson, who has operated an auto body repair business (Halvey's) on the site for 25+ years. Acquiring the properties is a critical opportunity to meet a growing community need with new resources and new programming. The site will become STAC (Studio Technical Arts Campus) providing job skills and entrepreneurship training, paid internships, and placements for primarily BIPOC young people post high school. The training and development programming will support young people in entering high paying, high demand career fields where they are currently underrepresented. The STAC project brings significant revitalization to the community surrounding George Floyd Square while helping to close opportunity gaps and employment disparities for BIPOC Minneapolis residents.

Senator Smith MN Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies City of Minneapolis This project is the continuation of additional research, analysis, and evaluation of problem nature codes in the City of Minneapolis. The purpose of the work is to ensure that we can continue a comprehensive and holistic approach to public safety and not depend on police to respond to every call that comes to our 911 dispatch center. Problem nature codes are the categories used to determine what type of response a caller receives. The project is meant to stop the overreliance on police and develop alternatives that produce better outcomes, and free police up to handle more serious crimes. We take the time to use our human centered approach to work with residents, internal city staff, external partners, and jurisdictions to ensure that we co-build alternatives that meet the needs of the end user. We use this model to ensure maximum participation and to build a model that recognizes the unique perspective of all involved in developing an emergency response. During the process we do rapid prototyping to test ideas and rule out what isn’t feasible to land on a model that we can pilot and evaluate by using the metrics that we chose as part of the development phase of our work. We have already created three alternative response models using this process; one for mental health response, overnight parking response, and the transfer of theft and report only calls. This has freed up our police officers to spend time on more serious crimes and resulted in better outcomes for residents. Minneapolis MN $7,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies City of Minneapolis "The Minneapolis PEACE Recruitment Plan works in partnership with the Step-Up program. Minneapolis PEACE Recruitment Plan provides Step Up program participants paid part-time employment, while extending paid internships to learn about public safety and the value of serving their community. The Minneapolis PEACE Recruitment Plan has a public safety-based curriculum that offers hands on training and learning experiences, through the many pathways to becoming a police officer. The instructors’ pedagogy blends public safety experiences and opportunities with community service. The Minneapolis PEACE Recruitment Plan’s partnership with Step Up provides career experiences and multiple pathways for residents of communities who have been historically overlooked by law enforcement recruitment initiatives. The Minneapolis PEACE Recruitment Plan is intended to focus on communities experiencing racial disparities, with respect to offering law enforcement career pathways. The Minneapolis PEACE Recruitment Planlso focuses on providing inclusion, and equity, and equal opportunities for paid internships, paid law enforcement training and college tuition, through paid pathways to becoming a licensed peace officer for the City of Minneapolis. The Minneapolis PEACE Recruitment Plan also offers individuals an opportunity to give back to the communities in which they have played, worked, and attended school. The Minneapolis PEACE Recruitment Plan’s pathways are in partnership with Step Up participants and provide: Paid Internships: These internships paid and provide the employee with the unique experience of working, as an intern, within police facilities. The interns can engage with community members through attending city events such as parades, job fairs, and much more. These interns also can interact with licensed police officers and learn the daily function of recruitment, investigations, serving their community, and the importance of all departments working together as an enterprise to provide equitable service to all who live, work, and visit Minneapolis. These interns may then be hired as a Community Service officer. While serving in this capacity, the Community Service Officer will receive pay for their service and attend a local college, with tuition paid for by the Minneapolis Police Department. Once the Community Service Officer has completed the approved law enforcement program and met the Minnesota Peace Officers Standards and Training licensing requirements, the Community Service Officer will be eligible for a promotion to Minneapolis Police Recruit. The position of a Minneapolis Police Recruit is another paid position, with the Minneapolis Police Department. As a Minneapolis Police Recruit, one will enhance community relations, procedural justice, and health and wellness knowledge, while learning to apply those skills in serving all communities within Minneapolis After completing the 16-week training as a Minneapolis Recruit Officer, one is promoted to Minneapolis Police Officer. As a licensed peace officer, one will have the honor of applying the pillars of procedural justice such as, voice, neutrality, respect, and trust. One will also engage with community with an understanding of trust, accountability, and professional service. As a police officer one may also contribute to the community and profession, through reforming, transforming, and advancing the way service is rendered to all communities within Minneapolis. Once assigned to a community within Minneapolis, as a police officer, the Minneapolis PEACE Recruitment Plan will have brought the participant full circle. The participant will now have equity of high self-esteem, pride, self-fulfillment, and an understanding of returning equity to the neighborhoods from which they have grown. The process of the Minneapolis PEACE Recruitment Plan, in partnership with Step Up, will continue to provide a mechanism of recruitment by those who are from our communities. Those individuals will then model their great character while serving their communities and recruiting others to follow the same pathways through recruitment, internship, higher education, and service through law enforcement. The Minneapolis PEACE Recruitment Plan is a cycle that continues to give, and those who benefit will then give back to their community. This cycle is one that will continue to positively impact diverse communities and affords growth socially, economically, and educationally." Minneapolis MN $1,894,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Dakota County Sheriff's Office We are requesting $325,000 in funding for the project titled Use of Technology to Improve Public Safety. Preventing & Prosecuting Electronic Crimes - Funding will be used for a county-wide outreach campaign, including the nine school districts and the elder community, to determine the volume of the victimization; as well as maintain our relationships with domestic/sexual violence advocacy groups and coordinate with other law enforcement agencies in the 2nd District, and make sure we are meeting the needs of the various communities being affected by these crimes. We would hire a 1.0 FTE forensic technician responsible for the project, and leverage personnel in the electronic crimes unit in the Dakota County Sheriff's office. The forensic technician would investigate crimes such as revenge porn, cyberstalking, elder scams, cyberbullying, sexting, etc. This is a good use of tax dollars because it will increase the discovery/prosecution of these crimes which are underreported. Community education will help prevent these crimes, and law enforcement training will improve case outcomes. Personnel - $150,000; Forensic computer equipment/software $150,000, Marketing group for social media education campaign and print/radio/tv campaign $25,000, Inkind operations including training investigators on best practices related to these crimes $50,000.

Senator Smith MN Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Scott County Sheriff's Office Funding would be used to purchase a non-military, armored, multipurpose response and rescue vehicle for the recovery and/or evacuation of person(s) who are injured or stranded in high-risk areas, natural or other disasters, assist with barricaded subjects, serve high risk search warrants or arrest warrants, or the movement of personnel into hostile or unsafe areas to effect an arrest or render aid, crisis intervention, with primary emphasis on the safety of all persons involved, civilian and police. The vehicle is designed to carry emergency responders, medical personnel, negotiators, rescued civilians, and life-saving equipment. In addition, the vehicle’s rescue and response capability will also increase our cooperative efforts with other area first responders. It would be deployed throughout Scott County, aiding our local police departments and the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community. It would also be a regional asset available in the event a mutual aid request was made by law enforcement agencies in nehboring counties (Dakota, Rice LeSueur, Sibley, Carver, Hennepin) and statewide. The project would be a valuable use of taxpayer funds because it would undoubtedly help make our responses to the most serious and critical incidents safer for our residents, visitors, and deputies for years to come.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Richfield Over 100,000 thousand people visit the Wood Lake Nature Center each year; with an annual average of 22,500 thousand people attending programs at the facility. Additionally, 65 percent of visitors to Wood Lake come from outside of Richfield, many from within Minnesota's 5th Congressional District. The Wood Lake Nature Center site is accessible and free for all to come, and offers year-round environmental education and outdoor recreation opportunities. The center is an urban escape, offering a gateway for guests to explore the 150-acre park that surrounds it. There are over 3-miles of gentle hiking trails for all to experience the many benefits of nature in three native Minnesota biomes: the forest, wetland, and prairie. We see the new building as an equalizer for all to experience nature and have the opportunity to learn about the natural world that surrounds them. Nature is not an amenity, but a necessity for everyone's health and well-being. A 2020 study by the Conservation Science Partners concludes that 72% of Minnesotan's BIPOC communities are nature deprived. With the construction of this new facility, we can help connect the BIPOC community with nature. Currently, 41 % of Richfield residents identify as BIPOC and 10% live at or below the federal poverty line. The new facility will ensure all members of our community will be able to access high quality year-round environmental education programs, which are inviting and inclusive to all people and abilities. This project is not another local amenity, but a necessity for all members of Minnesota's 5th Congressional District. This project will provide access to the innumerable benefits of the outdoors, a safe space to learn about and experience nature. More space at the nature center allows for multiple groups to schedule programs concurrently, with our current building we are very limited by space. The additional space, which comes with the new center, will offer greater opportunity to continue to expand our partnerships with the local school districts and the families they serve. The new educational exhibits and learning spaces will be designed with an inclusive multimodal approach so they are increasingly accessible to all. Richfield MN $5,000,000 Website Letter

United Community Action Partnership (UCAP) seeks funding to preserve the emergency shelter program in Meeker County and the surrounding area.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Greater Twin Cities United Way Persistent food insecurity among communities impacted by historic disinvestment yields the predictable (by income and race) outcomes in food instability that we continue to see. With race and ethnicity already the greatest predictors of inequitable outcomes in housing, food, education, employment and other areas, and with the pandemic's disproportionate health and economic effects on Communities of Color, we recognize an opportunity to apply the proven, scalable Full Lives model toward an equitable recovery. Emergency food services, while critical, are insufficient to create sustainable change. Even the presence of chain supermarkets - though it can expand access to healthy options - extracts consumer dollars from the neighborhood and overlooks the potential for local growers, entrepreneurs, and nonprofits to innovate food systems that keep dollars local and expand economic opportunities. Our outcomes include not only increased food access, but increased self-sufficiency in the individual, nonprofit, business, and neighborhood spheres. Full Lives recognizes the power of people and communities to design and implement strategies tailored to their own strengths and priorities. Grantmaking, technical assistance, and convening investments focus on building permanent capacity and strengthening partnerships among organizations. This type of funding is much rarer than emergency food assistance funding, and Full Lives' local cohort model is irreplaceable. Twin Cities MN $1,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Duluth, Min In Minnesota, and in Duluth in particular, there is a pronounced lack of affordable housing for low-to-middle income families. Add to that the seasonal demand for student housing brought on by the three major colleges in the City of Duluth, and the available stock of low-to-middle income housing drops even further. The cottage village will provide 18-20 individual units available at below-market prices in order to further the HRA's mission of providing safe, affordable housing for all Duluth residents. There is ample evidence to demonstrate that homeownership is one of the best ways for families to build wealth, and selling the proposed units at below-market prices will allow those who may otherwise never have the opportunity to own a home to begin building equity in a home. The successful completion of a second cottage village in Duluth will demonstrate the viability of the concept, encouraging other communities around the state to explore similar housing options in their area. The United States as a whole is falling further behind each day in keeping up with the demand for affordable housing. The National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) and the National Apartment Association (NAA) estimated in 2017 that the United States would need 4.6 million new living units by 2030. Successfully adding 18-20 new units in Duluth at affordable rates will spur other communities in the state to consider this alternative method of adding affordable housing while also adding shared green space to their communities. Greater than 50% of the existing homes in Duluth are over 50 years old. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) estimates the average lifespan of a home to be 30 to 55 years without substantial regular maintenance, which can be costly. Therefore, much of the housing stock in Duluth is reaching or has reached the end of its life, and is in need of substantial investment, something most low-to-middle income families cannot afford. While the HRA works with local homeowners and landowners to rehabilitate as many homes as possible in the area through separate federally-funded home rehab programs, investing in 18-20 new homes is a perfect opportunity to add brand new, safe, and affordable housing to the community. Additionally, the homes will range in size from 620 square feet to 720 square feet, depending on the number of bedrooms, substantially reducing maintenance costs for the eventual owners.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Minnesota North College The proposed funding will be used to purchase EV/AV/CV vehicles for the automotive technician and diesel/heavy equipment program to troubleshoot and repair. Since the college has a solar technician certification, incorporation of planning and building solar charging stations will be part of the curriculum process for this overall project. This will allow students and community to visualize the interconnectivity between renewable energy and the future of transportation. Likewise, solar panels for charging stations and other accessory and associated equipment related to EV/AV/CV training will be part of the costs associated with creating this program. This may include purchase of sensors, electronics, and other technical components. To deliver this training, faculty release time will be needed to develop curriculum, vet curriculum through industry partners, and gather lab materials. Alongside this, professional development funds will be needed to send faculty to relevant industry trainings and conferences, where they may gain better tools and instructional methods to deliver this content in innovative ways. This programming is interdisciplinary, so faculty meetings between departments and service areas will be key to successful deployment of the curriculum. A portion of the funding will be used for space in our recently created transportation simulation training center. Funds have already been allocated to this project, however, additional modules and software that support this particular curriculum will be purchased.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Oslo Region Joint Powers Board The Red River of the North 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 trunk Hwy 54, 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. Safety of citizens and emergency fire and rescue are at risk, as air-boat is the only transportation in the flooded area. This project is a well-studied and publicly accepted solution to mitigate the frequency and intensity of flooding. Because of the many entities concerned, this project requires bi-state cooperation, including watershed districts, highway departments and DNR agencies. A grassroots organization made of up volunteer members of border townships has spearheaded the effort since 2013 to bring these entities together toward a solution.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Feeley Township Shallow Lake Road is currently a paved Town Road in very poor condition. Feeley Township has expended $42,000 over the past two years in pavement maintenance including leveling and patching to address pavement deterioration. The constant, ongoing maintenance needs are an undue strain on local resources. A newly paved roadway will mitigate maintenance and upkeep needs of Shallow Lake Road. Being a fairly small township with a population of approximately 300, maintenance resources are not abundantly available. Recent expenditures related to Shallow Lake Road provides a drain on local resources. Reducing maintenance needs by repaving the roadway will free up staff time in addition to material and funding resources. Feeley Township MN $600,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Phumulani Minnesota African Women Against Violence Phumulani Minnesota African Women Against Violence is seeking funds to purchase and renovate a building for use as a culturally sensitive women's shelter and transitional housing facility near the Maplewood neighborhood in St. Paul. Two weeks ago we lost two more immigrant women in our community to domestic violence. Every day Phumulani receives calls from women want to escape the cycles of control, abuse, and violence that they are caught in, but who do not have the resources to do so. Meanwhile, the shelter network in the greater Minneapolis area is full to capacity, meaning the the street is the only option for survivors seeking to to escape physical and mental abuse and the very real potential of death at the hands of their spouse or partner. At Phumulani, we specialize in working with immigrant women who face even more barriers to access through traditional transitional housing. We envision this space as one of safety, healing, empowerment, and comfort, where survivors will have the opportunity to become thrivers with classes in financial management, job training and resume support, childcare workshops, permanent housing placement, and more. We are dedicated to bringing this vision to reality for our survivors. Minneapolis MN $554,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Greater Minnesota Housing Fund NOAH Preservation financing activity aligns with the Consolidated Plan's Strategy to provide decent, affordable housing through the planned acquisition, rehabilitation and preservation of 1,000-1,600 NOAH units throughout the state, with activities in both urban and rural communities. This addresses the Consolidated Plan Goal to "Provide decent affordable housing to … low-moderate income renters." These NOAH properties are at-risk due to speculation and aging conditions. Greater Minnesota Housing Fund has identified the opportunity to assist small and emerging rental property owners by providing access to low-cost, deferred loans to enable local, ‘mom and pop' landlords to acquire and preserve rental properties. Intervention is needed as naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH) is being lost at a fast pace in the Twin Cities and across Minnesota; yet these properties are the most affordable housing our communities have. There is an alarming loss of existing NOAH properties to market rate convsions. Minnesota Housing Finance Agency estimates that over 2,000 NOAH rental units are lost each year due to speculative conversions to upscale properties. That is a significant problem as the state only produces approximately 2000 affordable units per year (MHFA, 2018). St. Paul MN $500,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe The Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe (LLBO) Emergency Food Bank and Distribution Center (EFBDC) was established in May of 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Listening House of St. Paul Listening House of St. Paul is a welcoming, low-barrier day shelter and part of the ecosystem of care for adults experiencing homelessness. For nearly 40 years Listening House has provided food, clothing, a place to receive mail and a safe place off the street. At Listening House, program advocates look guests in the eye, greet them by name, and listen. Guests make connections -- to case managers, healthcare professionals, and employment and housing specialists. Listening House successfully operated a second location for 17 months during the COVID-19 pandemic through a contract with the City of St. Paul and Ramsey County. Between the two sites, Listening House tallied over 70,000 guest visits in 2021. The dramatic increase in guests served made it clear that Listening House needs to permanently increase capacity. The next step is a combination of acquisition and renovation. The site was chosen because of location - a commercial space of three lots in one sale, with limited potential impact on neighbors, no residential neighbors and on a bus line. Most importantly, 421-423 7th Street East, Saint Paul, MN, provides the space to build a permanent day shelter that honors and facilitates options for a population that have few.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans MACV requests support for renovating the Snelling Motel into an affordable supportive housing property suitable for long-term Veteran residents. Minnesota is experiencing a critical shortage of affordable housing, especially in the Twin Cities metropolitan region. Veterans with low income are at a distinct advantage in the current housing market, especially when paired with other challenges which make them less-than-ideal tenants for most mainstream housing providers. Factors like criminal backgrounds, prior evictions, poor employment history, and less-than-honorable discharge from military duty create even more barriers which make housing stability an elusive goal for those who served in the armed forces. Homeless Veterans who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), who have a disability which affects their housing stability, or who have a family to support face unique challenges which can result in longer and more frequent periods of homelessness, and difficulty finding affordable housing which accommodates their needs. Expansion of our supportive housing program helps underrepresented households stabilize their lives with dignity and purpose. Minneapolis MN $750,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Montevideo Public Schools The Montevideo Public Schools district is looking to solve the problem of its Fine Arts Center. The current Fine Arts Center, which is owned by the school district, is a building that has been very important to the community. It has housed many of the school district's activities related to music and arts for many years and has served as a haven for children and adults in the community who are passionate about them. In recent years, the Fine Arts Center has become a dilapidated building and has been named unusable, causing the school district to close it completely. The school district and community sees the Fine Arts Center as an important need here in Montevideo and has decided to move forward with building a new center by demolishing the Fine Arts Center and constructing a new Performing Arts Center that will be connected to Montevideo High School. The total cost of this project will be $15 million.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Olmsted County Olmsted County requests Congressionally Directed Spending for preliminary design, final design, and right-of-way acquisition in FY23 for a proposed interchange project at County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 44 (formerly County Road 104) and Trunk Highway (TH) 14 and an associated flyover at 7th Street NW. The project will provide a significant safety improvement on a regional U.S. Highway (TH 14). 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, including a recent fatality. In addition to improving safety of the intersection, two additional objectives are to improve mobility and support capacity and growth of the region. The recently completed U.S. 14 Corridor Analysis Project 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 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 1950s and 1994, except for the length from Coleraine to Pengilly which was left as two lane undivided highway. Subsequently two additional sections were completed using state funding, still leaving 8.4 miles of two lane undivided highway sandwiched between and constricting traffic 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. A short summary of major background and supporting points is attached to this application and more information would be available upon request. A brief project summary is also attached for informational purposes. Itasca County MN $150,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Carlton County raCSAH 61 Reconstruction, Streetscape & Recreational Trial Project addresses important concerns that have arisen since the transfer of ownership of this roadway to Carlton County in 1974. CSAH 61 was turned back to the County by MnDOT when I35 was constructed. Since the turnback the corridor along CSAH 61 has grown considerably in population and attracted several businesses that utilize the corridor to move goods and services. County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 61 is a major collector that connects the Towns of Cloquet/Scanlon to the Village of Esko and then Interstate 35. As the corridor has developed questions have evolved about the economic feasibility of the current geometry of the roadway; the safety and mobility of vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic; and the aesthetics of the roadway corridor. Since 1974 when CSAH 61 was turned back to Carlton County construction costs have skyrocketed and transportation funding has been fairly stagnant. Carlton County like many other local government agencies has made an effort to stretch the funds available as far as possible, but the continued deterioration of the roadway has forced the County to look for additional funding sources in order increase safety and mobility for vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Oslo Region Joint Powers Board The Red River of the North 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 trunk Hwy 54, 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. Safety of citizens and emergency fire and rescue are at risk, as air-boat is the only transportation in the flooded area. This project is a well-studied and publicly accepted solution to mitigate the frequency and intensity of flooding. Because of the many entities concerned, this project requires bi-state cooperation, including watershed districts, highway departments and DNR agencies. A grassroots organization made of up volunteer members of border townships has spearheaded the effort since 2013 to bring these entities together toward a solution.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Wabasha The City of Wabasha is proposing a project that would improve regional road infrastructure but also create economic development growth. The project would construct a new roadway segment that would allow for realignment of Trunk Highway 60 within the city. This would route dangerous truck traffic away from residential areas and create a more efficient route. The current route is subject to frequent flooding and has created numerous crashes. Additionally, the athletic field, currently in major disrepair and located in the proposed re-route area, would be re-located to city-owned land, allowing for a newly rebuilt recreational facility that would help positively engage youth year-round (baseball fields, volleyball, a hockey rink, and skate park). Finally, the land surrounding the new highway would have new public infrastructure added to create future residential and commercial growth that is desperately needed by the community. The lack of housing opportunities is impeding growth for this rural community. There are also limited commercial opportunities for new businesses. The project also includes dredging and cleaning a Mississippi River backwater to restore critical water habitat and improve water quality. Wabasha MN $1,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Mankato The overall purpose of the project will be to site, design and construct an air traffic control tower at the Mankato Regional Airport. Based on our consultant’s professional study and continued increases in flight traffic volume, the air traffic control tower is necessary to ensure the overall safety of the airport users and airway system. Last week, we received a final commitment from the FAA to fund 90% of the total project. The funds that are being requested as part of the Congressional Directed Spending will assist the City of Mankato in executing phase – II of the project, of which is primarily constating of a siting process for the tower and an environmental assessment and ultimately spurring the project forward to the construction and completion of the air traffic control tower. The siting process consists of an evaluation to build towers at “the minimum height required” to ensure visibility for air traffic controllers. Specifically, they need clear views of all air traffic, runways, taxiwand controlled movement areas. Controllers also need to be able to distinguish aircraft and vehicles by type, such as single-engine planes and trucks, and to maintain ideal angles of sight in all directions and for all lighting conditions. This process will identify these components. In addition, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires federal agencies to consider the potential environmental consequences of their proposals, to consult with other interested agencies, to document the analysis, and to make this information available to the public for comment before the implementation of the proposals. NEPA is only applicable to federal actions, including projects and programs entirely or partially financed by federal agencies and that require a federal permit or other regulatory decision.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Deer River Community Wellness Group We believe that the building concept and design are unique ways to address and incorporate many of the partner's and community's needs. Through these conversations, we discovered that there were many duplicated needs from the individual partners. We determined rather than having many separate buildings built for each entity, it would be more efficient to combine resources and share centrally located spaces. These spaces would be used by each entity, but not used by each every day. The shared areas include an ample community gathering space, a stage for large and small events, a board/conference room designed to meet today's technological needs, a commercial kitchen, classroom space, fitness center, and field house. Other areas will be occupied by The City of Deer River, Deer River DMV, Deer River Police Department, Office space for Itasca County Health and Human Services, Leech Lake Tribal District 1, Deer River Area Food Shelf, Essentia Health, the Forward Health Foundation, the DRHS Warrior lending Closet, Boys and Girls Club of Leech Lake, and a childcare facility.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Habitat for Humanity of Morrison County Habitat for Humanity of Morrison County (HFHMC) has advanced affordable housing in Morrison County for the last 24 years by serving lower-income families who were homeless or living in inadequate living environments. Currently there are three revenue streams sustaining HFHMC: Fundraisers, the mortgages from previous built homes and private donations. With the continuing escalated costs of building supplies, building affordable homes is challenging. Habitat's mission is to shelter and provide a simple, decent home. Even the simplest of homes costs 60% more to build than it cost two years ago. With the inclusion of Project ReStore, another revenue stream will be provided to provide for further sustainability. Project ReStore will provide a thrift-type store with adequate space to accept donations of used building materials, used furniture and other miscellaneous items that can be repurposed for sale to the public. We will hire part-time staff to oversee the donations, make repairs to items as needed so they are acceptable for sale and rent adequate space to allow for business transactions. Since all items for resale will be donated, costs incurred will be overhead expenses. There have been many on-going calls to HFHMC to receive items such as furniture, used-working appliances and items for repurpose but starting this venture takes extra funding and staff time, both of which are in short supply.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Minneapolis This request would establish a voluntary assessment fund to allow property owners to fund lead elimination and healthy homes work that would benefit tenants, and especially children. The City of Minneapolis has pulled together matching sources of funding to fund healthy homes work but there is often a balance left even after incentives that low to moderate income tenants and property owners can’t cover. This fund would give them a tool to get the necessary work done to protect the health of children in a home before those children come in contact with health hazards, primarily lead paint. This request is complimentary to other city, state and federal dollars and would accelerate preventative work by filling a missing funding gap. This request is a crucial piece of an aggressive citywide strategy to eliminate lead poisoning in Minneapolis by 2035. Minneapolis MN $2,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Cottage Grove 80th Street is the gateway into the City of Cottage Grove. Home to the largest and busiest commercial and retail district with 24,000 vehicles per day, it provides a vital connection to thousands of homes. Some base pavement from 1980 is still in use today along this 1.25-mile segment. With $5.8 million in federal support the City could close the gap on financial shortfalls that prohibit it from funding the $7.8 million rehabilitation project. A sense of urgency to begin the project remains. The City adds thousands of residents each year, as well as extensive retail and commercial growth with the increased population. The City's high-density housing growth is also centered around 80th Street, as two large senior living complexes are now full, and two large apa1iment complexes will be completed in the coming months.

Senator Smith MN Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of West St. Paul I am requesting $3,100,000 in funding for the City of West St. Paul to realign and reconstruct the intersection at Dodd Road and Smith Avenue in fiscal year 2023. The entity to receive funding for this project is the City of West St. Paul, 1616 Humboldt Ave, West St. Paul, MN 55118. The realignment of Smith Avenue and Dodd Road is a multi-faceted project that will bring about greater safety for vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists, ignite private investment in the area, create a unique public gathering space and a memorial for Mendota Heights Police Officer Scott Patrick who was killed at this intersection. The project will create connectivity between the east and west side of Smith Avenue by making it easier for all traffic to move safely through the intersection, and decrease the overall number of crossings. It will also create a safe haven for those traveling on foot or bicycle and increase the general public use of the area. Additionally, with an overall public investment of $4,000,000 this project will begin a domino effect of re-development in an area which is blighted, but huge on potential. The imminent private development right on this intersection that will be enabled by this project is estimated at $45 million with a 5-10 year investment total of at least $70 million."

Senator Smith MN Homeland Security Oslo Region Joint Powers Board "For the 3-Phase project to be successfully implemented, the river flow dictates the first phase of the project must be the replacement of the 1905 built railroad bridge and highway bridge, built in its shadow in the 1950s at Oslo and the water flow restrictions at the Hwy 17/317. A smaller bridge project on ND 54 at the Grand Marais also protects highway access. These bridges cannot accommodate the present-day water flow rates of a high water event. This phase is the highest cost of the project, and appropriately cost-shared from four CDS cost accounts, including Highway Infrastructure Program (HIP), Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvement Program (CRISI), FEMA Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM), and Watershed Flood Preventions Operations (WFPO). The second phase of the project is reductions to the overbank upstream from Oslo to remove blockages in the river channel. Modified road elevations upstream at the Oslo area protect I-29 and Hwy 1 because it maintains water flow in the natural river channel. The second phase of the project includes costs shared through HIP, FEMA and WFPO. In the third phase of the project, FEAM and WFPO share the cost of removing additional water flow restrictions downstream, such as unused approaches and driveways that divert water away from the river channel.

The existing Fire Station is 91 years old and can't support the personnel or resources needed to provide adequate and equitable fire and medical response for some of the city's most vulnerable residents. The neighborhoods this station would serve are areas of concentrated poverty, with lower levels of education, are at greater risk for fires, and have been disproportionally impacted by the pandemic. The fire department has seen an increase in emergency calls for service associated with the pandemic, caring for the city's homeless population, and an increase in traumatic injuries due to violent crimes on the city's East Side.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies College of St. Scholastica, Inc. "The CSS School of Nursing collaborates with multiple rural healthcare agencies and over 700 clinical sites to provide educational experiences for nearly 1,000 nursing students each year. Students receive clinical experience through the Essentia Health system, St. Luke’s (letters of support provided), the St. Louis County Health Department, Benedictine Health Center, a variety of long-term care facilities, community health clinics, Indian Health Service sites, and family practice private clinics in rural and urban settings. Many are located in medically underserved and rural areas; equipping students with the appropriate skills ensures they enter their clinical rotations prepared and confident in their abilities to serve their communities. In healthcare education, simulation/skills labs have become critical components in preparing all levels of professionals, and are increasingly viewed as essential by accreditation agencies. Students practice patient care skills and learn how to think like a nurse. They master how to conduct health assessments, put in IV lines, administer medication, position patients, and ensure safety protocols are being followed. It is also a chance for students to practice soft skills, such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. Additionally, TeleICUs and emergency services are being used to provide patient care, particularly in rural parts of the United States. Tele-emergency services provide immediate and synchronous audio/video connections between rural low-volume hospitals and an urban emergency department. As a nursing school that supports rural nursing, providing students the opportunities to participate in simulations providing patient care in such a manner is crucial. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the critical need for nurses, making this project a priority. According to 2020 reports, half of the states in the country faced shortages of nurses during the pandemic, including Minnesota. A spring 2021 nationwide survey of nurses by Vivian Health, a healthcare career company, said 43% of respondents were considering leaving healthcare, and two-thirds of nurses said they felt more stressed about their jobs than a year previously. Additionally, more than one million nurses will retire in the next decade, which is anticipated to put even greater demands on healthcare staffing and increase the need for exceptionally skilled healthcare professionals. Only 15% of nursing professionals in Minnesota serve the expansive northeastern region - including thousands of CSS nursing graduates - making the area’s healthcare workforce critical and easily impacted by the quality of education healthcare professionals receive."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Battered Women's Legal Advocacy As the number of calls has exponentially increased on our Action Line, we filled the need by hiring additional staff. However, the funds we utilized to hire an advocate and attorney have since ended and we are left with an increasing need for our services and a lack of funds to support the necessary staff. Based on the absolute need for our services and its benefit to those experiencing child abuse, we believe Standpoint should receive congressionally directed spending to allow us to retain an advocate and an attorney to answer Action Line calls. These funds will help to staff our high demand Action Line and increase Standpoint’s ability to train and provide outreach to underserved populations. Ensuring our services are equitable and accessible to all communities and enabling our legal experts to educate on domestic and sexual violence will greatly benefit communities throughout Minnesota. Unlike other legal service organizations, Standpoint is a statewide and provides all services for free. Standpoint is committed to providing legal services to all victims of domestic and sexual violence, regardless of immigration and/or refugee status, nationality, religion, citizenship, race, ability, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, or any other protected class. Yet, access to legal assistance and representation is limited and often unduly costly. Standpoint is the only statewide agency in Minnesota that provides free technical assistance to victims of domestic violence, sexual violence, and child abuse, as well as to the advocates, attorneys, and other professionals who work with those affected by abuse. We do not have an intake process, as that may create additional barriers for the individuals accessing our services. We fill a gap in services that would leave many victims and their children without access to legal advice and advocacy. Standpoint works to advance equity in local communities by working both individually and collectively with other organizations in the community to conduct outreach with populations who have historically been underserved in the domestic and sexual violence movements. In addition to providing services directly to victims, we also provide technical assistance and training to advocates, attorneys, and other professionals working with victims. Our goal is to spread our expertise on legal issues related to domestic and sexual violence, including child abuse, to the victim-serving community to ensure that victims are receiving holistic and competent support. We believe strongly that providing and developing competent legal support will result in better outcomes for victims and their families. St. Paul MN $200,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Alliance of Early Childhood Professionals All Native families in Minnesota will speak their native language fluently from pre-K through elders. This long-term goal was identified through community input from Wicoie staff and apprentices, parents, community members and board members (all but one of whom are tribal-enrolled members). Wicoie is a certified Early Childhood Language Nest with 9 children under the age of six enrolled in their program. Two Native languages are taught to the 16-month through 5 year-old students, Dakhóta and Ojibwe. The proposed project is a cornerstone of achieving this long-term community goal. It will increase the quality of the instruction by having the classroom teachers and apprentices all complete the early childhood development certificate program at partnering organization Fond du Lac Tribal College. This program teaches from a cultural perspective that resonates with Wicoie’s seasonal curriculum and cultural competency of the teachers and apprentices. Increasing the fluency of the teachers and apprentices will allow Wicoie to grow its program by hiring the apprentices once this grant ends. Wicoie’s pedagogy of using cultural traditions and seasons as the basis of its early childhood education curriculum and immersion model is effective in the student’s acquisition of the Native language. Parents/guardians are engaged at home in reinforcing the language learned in the classroom. They support an early literacy rich environment with labels in their Native language on at least 300 items in their home. Parents receive weekly packets of at-home activities to support language reinforcement at home, and daily video clips of their child using their Native language at school. As a family all come together with other community members and Wicoie staff and apprentices to work in the community garden, learn about the uses for each plant, and their Native names. It culminates with a harvest of the produce that families take home for their personal use. During their time gardening the families are striving to speak in their Native languages with the teachers/apprentices and with each other. The long-term goal of fluency for the Native community is that they will use their language across all social domains on a daily basis. Minneapolis MN $30,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Minnesota State Community and Technical College (M "Minnesota is in the midst of a growing child care crisis where many communities have zero options of quality child care providers (known as "child care deserts"). A child care desert is defined as a zip code where 30 or more children under the age of 5 and no child care centers or where there are at least 3 times the number of children than there are available spaces for child care. Affordability is one factor, but location and supply also play significant roles. According to a report from The Center for American Progress, the lack of child care supply has disproportionately impacted rural areas and two-thirds of Minnesota's zip codes could be defined as a child care desert. M State seeks to address this issue by offering its innovative early childhood education program in area high schools. In 2021, M State partnered with high schools in Perham and Rothsay, giving students an opportunity to earn credits towards an early childhood college degree. A student who began the early childhood course sequence as a high school junior could have half of a one-year certificate completed by the time they graduated, with no cost to the students for tuition or textbooks. The credits they earned would transfer into either M State’s 18-credit Early Childhood certificate or the college’s Early Childhood Transfer Pathway in preparation for earning a four-year degree. The program supports the advancement of individuals seeking to open their own in-home child care facility or to gain employment in early education as assistant teachers in Head Start facilities or child care centers. Additional funding is needed in order to make these courses accessible through a hybrid of in-person and virtual instruction. The outcome would be an increased number of partnerships with high schools and stakeholders in the Greater North West region of Minnesota as well as an increase of early childhood education professionals added to a workforce that benefits Minnesota families and communities at large. For students choosing not to proceed towards a degreed program, they receive a foundation in the importance of early childhood development that will prepare them in adulthood when raising families of their own. Evaluation and Assessment. To obtain feedback from EC students participating in this program, we will develop an instrument to determine the impact of the supports provided through this contract.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Wilderness Health, Inc. "On April 12, 2022, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) released their first report on the effects of the pandemic on most of the licensed health care workforce in Minnesota. Based on the MDH health care workforce survey, Minnesota’s Health Care Workforce: Pandemic-Provoked Workforce Exits, Burnout, and Shortages (PDF). The survey data indicates alarming projected workforce losses in Minnesota’s small towns and rural areas. “Workforce development…will be especially important in Greater Minnesota, which has an older population than the Twin Cities... Greater Minnesota also has a lower percentage of people in their prime working years, as well as less racial diversity than the Twin Cities. While every region in the state saw an increase in the number of jobs held by people of color over the past 20 years, only about 8 percent of jobs in Greater Minnesota are held by people of color, compared to over 18 percent in the Twin Cities.” Developing, recruiting, and retaining a strong workforce is critical to current and future success for our hospitals and health systems and vital for access to timely patient care. Engaging local health systems with institutions of higher education will provide avenues to “grow our own" workforce pipeline. The demand for staff outpaces the current supply. Labor demands have caused WH members to use costly resources to ensure that patient care services are available in our communities. All healthcare organizations struggle to fill vacancies, exposing existing staff to burnout. It is critical that our members have a skilled workforce with support to define educational and training opportunities with a strong recruitment and retention strategy across the continuum of healthcare, including clinical, support and administrative staff. Staffing shortages lead to numerous factors that increase costs of care including: increases in hospital divert hours and Emergency Department wait times, hospital length of stays, distances for ambulance and transportation providers, and labor costs due to overtime and traveler/locums costs. We are developing programs that involve collaboration with educational institutions on additional joint training and educational opportunities, including clinical and leadership development, and explore whether shared staffing pools are an option with some positions."

We see 500 patient visits per week, serving 300 patients at any one time, including pediatric patients, adults with injury, developmental and physical disabilities, and seniors with chronic conditions. This program improves participants health and independence, keeping them out of the traditional healthcare system and active participants in their community at home, work, and play. All are residents of Minnesota. The Rochester community and Southern Minnesota will gain access to expanded specialized care in a community setting for pediatric patients, adults with injury, developmental and physical disabilities, and seniors with chronic conditions. This care would be newly available close to their homes. Nearly 40,000 individuals of all ages living in the Southeast Minnesota region have at least one disabling condition. Disability impacts all population groups equally including race, religion, and sexual orientation. With this new equipment and facility renovation, ExercisAbilities could offer more efficient care—more treatments and increased therapist safety—and more effective care—higher training intensity, real-time data collection and analytics, and performance-based therapy sessions—than available through traditional therapy. Our programs are available to all even after insurance ends, through reduced fees and pro bono services, to ensure long-term health benefits in this population. Outcomes include health improvements, greater independence, and less dependence on care providers. ExercisAbilities would further contribute to Rochester’s achievements as one of the healthiest cities in the United States.

Experiences in these early years establish the foundation for a child's capacity to learn and thrive when they reach school. In turn, a child’s readiness for school establishes a pathway to later academic achievement. Distal effects associated with early childhood development have been identified in adulthood, engagement in risky health behavior, and patterns of employment and homeownership. Being prepared to learn once entering school can make a difference not only for the child in need but also the full family, teacher and community. When a child is not prepared to learn by not having the proper tools this can be an additional stressor for the teacher and they have expressed how appreciative they are to have this program in our area. Our education program which consists of the Imagination Library and Tools for School projects have been designed based on community input and were created to meet an unfilled need."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies The Aliveness Project "For the 10,000+ Minnesotans living with HIV, COVID has exacerbated existing health disparities. Similar to COVID, HIV continues to disproportionately impact communities of color in Minnesota, with people of color comprising 17% of the state’s population and 69% of new HIV diagnoses in 2020 (bit.ly/2020MDHHIV). Due to systemic discrimination and racism, people of color in Minnesota are nearly three times as likely to be living below the poverty line (bit.ly/2018MNC). According to a 2016 CDC report, “Individuals living below the poverty line were twice as likely to be HIV-infected as those who lived in the same community but lived above the poverty line” (bit.ly/2016cdc). COVID and HIV have also had a disproportionate impact on the LGBTQ+ community. Male-to-male sex remains the primary risk factor for new HIV infections in Minnesota (bit.ly/2020MDHHIV). Additionally, according to the Human Rights Campaign, those in the LGBTQ+ community are more likely to work in industries that have high exposure rates (such as the restaurant industry), are less likely to have adequate health coverage, and have higher rates of chronic illnesses such as asthma - health conditions that have higher likelihoods of COVID complications and poorer health outcomes (bit.ly/3JnAO0B). Similar to communities of color in Minnesota, the LGBTQ+ have increased rates of poverty, which remains a risk factor of both HIV and COVID (bit.ly/3oBjNrx). Nearly all of the members at the Aliveness Project are low-income, with the majority also identifying as people of color and LGBTQ+, making the challenges faced by our members magnified during the twin pandemics of HIV and COVID. By targeting and engaging folks in hard-to-reach populations, Aliveness is providing a tremendous benefit to our members and the local community. With funding from this proposal, we will be able to expand our services and create room to continue growing our programming. By continuing to expand our programming, we can greatly improve the health outcomes for folks who have been most impacted by the twin pandemics of COVID-19 and HIV."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Minnesota State University, Mankato "MNSU is in the middle of the Ag industry and positioned well to take the major step of establishing a new school of agriculture. Much thought and initial design has gone into establishing a structure for the new school that will be interdisciplinary, economically feasible, and increase the image of the university while enhancing the food and Ag industry in the region. Minnesota is a leader in agriculture with about 1 in every 10 jobs across the state in the industry. Minnesota ranks fifth nationwide in total value of crops and is in the top ten in more than 20 agricultural commodities. Some of the nation and world’s largest agricultural and food companies have their headquarters in Minnesota. Blue Earth County had over $1 billion in value-added contributions from agriculture placing it in the top 5 counties. A USDA report shows strong job demand for new college graduates with degrees in agricultural programs with approximately 59,400 job opportunities annually between 2020 and 2025. This reflects growth from the previous five years. The report shows employer demand will exceed the supply of available graduates with a bachelor’s degree or higher in agriculture-related fields. Plus, the USDA report was completed just prior to the pandemic which produced a more dire need for employees. MNSU recently launched two Ag-specific majors and has nine undergraduate-related majors, a master’s program, four certificate degrees, more than 50 courses, four labs, and co-curricular programs. By creating a School of Food and Ag, all will come together for more synergy and recognition to attract students into the field and gain support from industry. MNSU is the second largest state university in Minnesota, only behind the designated land-grant institution, the University of Minnesota. The strengths and abilities of MNSU poise the university to be successful in the creation of a School of Food and Ag for the region, state, and country." Mankato MN $2,300,000 Website Letter

The Target Population for the initiative is to share what we have learned about the viability/success of this new model of career ladders and enhanced training to providers of Day and Employment Services in Minnesota. MSS is keenly interested in diversifying our applicants and ultimately diversifying our organization, particularly in leadership roles. We will actively seek out members of the BIPOC community for these roles. We will continue to utilize consultation with AMAZEworks, and our Advisory Board to ensure our marketing materials, job postings, and overall approach to recruitment and retention are inclusive and welcoming to members of all communities. The career ladder, professional development, and training/mentorship activities would initially impact people from the Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs, including to low- and moderate-income individuals and families. Additionally, we will share with other providers what we learned and how any successful efforts could be replicated would have a statewide impact, including to low- and moderate-income individuals and families. There are multiple ways this proposal will positively impact people. It will give people, including members of the BIPOC community, more jobs. Our efforts will give these new hires (and existing staff) new opportunities for training, mentorship, and advancement, diversifying our internal leadership. Lastly, better staff recruitment and retention will allow us to bring more people from our extensive waiting lists into our services. " St. Paul MN $100,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans "In 2021 we placed 155 Veterans into employment at an average hourly wage of $17.72, representing annual gross wages of approximately $4,690,000. 87% of Veterans who got jobs through our program last year were still employed in follow-up. Our employment placement and retention rates show the success of our programming to date; however, the first goal of our work is to determine what is most likely to result in long-term housing stability. While employment is one of the factors most often tied to Veterans’ long-term stability, we also recognize that many Veterans are either not ready or not able to succeed in living wage-paying employment. MACV has traditionally assessed readiness for work within Employment Services. However, if staff determined that if a Veteran was not best served by engaging in sufficient work to entirely cover their income needs, we then provided linkage with internal or external partners to identify and apply for appropriate income sources. We have observed that performing this kind of income stabilization and navigation work goes hand-in-hand with any employment plan created with the Veterans we serve. Navigating the increasingly common scenario of engagement in employment in addition to other income sources like disability benefits has pushed us to reimagine MACV’s current model of Employment Services. The need for this kind of innovation has only grown as we draw near the functional end of Veteran homelessness in Minnesota, making this request a timely investment in a larger goal to empower underserved Veterans in our state. MACV attracts Veterans through its commitment to creating a welcoming, supportive environment. Many MACV staff also identify as Veterans. We leverage relationships with local VSOs, DEED, BYR employer networks, and other non-profit partners. Thankfully, staff has consistently noted that there is strong interest among employers to hire Veterans. Employers are encouraged to send job leads and employment needs to our staff; these needs are then presented to HVRP participants. Our commitment to providing a larger benefit to the local community is an accepted fact in Minnesota’s nonprofit community. Networking and involvement with Workforce Advisory Boards has resulted in MACV’s relationships with local Veteran friendly employers looking for skilled employees, including York Solutions, Black Eye Beverage, USIC, Home Depot, Block by Block, United Protective Agency, and USPS. MACV connects with these partners to learn about labor needs and skills, or training Veterans would need to fill vacancies. This networking is driven by in-demand fields as identified by DEED and includes government work such as positions within the VAHCS and training on USAJobs. MACV partners with Helmets to Hardhats on trade jobs, and has connections with local labor unions for placement, training, and apprenticeships. " St. Paul MN $450,000 Website Letter

With 47 percent of our apprentices being female and/or BIPOC, we believe underserved populations will have increased access to critical mental health services free from financial barriers. Further, providing access to these services will allow more underserved populations of workers to attend training, classes, and become certified to fill the increasing demand for jobs in the trades in Minnesota, boosting our workforce and economy. Mental illness and suicide are invisible crises in the construction industry that are deadlier than all other workplace accidents from the OSHA ‘Construction Focus Four’ (Fall Hazards, Caught-In or -Between Hazards, Struck-By, and Electrocution Hazards). There are a few important points to highlight when looking at this crisis: The construction industry has the highest rate of suicide per 100,000 workers of any industry - 3.5 times greater rate of suicide than other professions 53 out of every 100,000 workers complete suicide annually There are 5,500 employee suicides in the U.S annually, 15 dying daily of suicide More construction workers die by suicide each year than all other construction-related fatalities Many contributing factors create this increased risk: Physical and mental demands of the job and type of work Jobsite stressors include worker conflicts, bullying, unrealistic work deadlines, etc. Overtime, shift work, night work lead to fatigue and poor sleep patterns/sleep deprivation Remote/out-of-town work – isolation from family, friends, and the community Seasonal layoffs & economic downturn job loss create financial burdens Injuries resulting in chronic pain Medical diagnosis with uncertain outcomes and significant financial burden Increase in self-medication with illicit drugs and alcohol to cope both physically as well as mentally " Little Canada MN $11,760,000 Website Letter

Increase access to education: Multiple challenges exist to provide healthcare students with the required clinical experiences for their program; one challenge is finding sufficient clinical training sites for the number of students enrolled in our programs. Enrollments are limited due to clinical site availability in our region. By adding on-campus and mobile simulation labs, we will expand the seats in our healthcare programs, increasing the number of graduates added to the workforce each year. Increase the student pipeline: Additionally, the mobile simulation lab will provide career-focused healthcare experiences and exploration for high school students and underemployed individuals in rural communities. Our target audience is reflected in the communities we serve, including Black, Indigenous, veterans, disabled and first-generation students. Careers in healthcare can reduce poverty for low-income families. Improve student learning outcomes: We value innovative learning experiences that promote multidisciplinary collaborations; simulation training exposes students to a variety of valuable learning experiences and encourages teamwork, critical thinking and communication. Additionally, it mimics a real-life hospital/clinic setting, using the most advanced technology, equipment and methods. Simulation training allows students to improve their skills, shape their confidence and demonstrate knowledge without risk to patients in a clinical setting, while exposing students to a wide variety of patient case scenarios.

Picture 75,000 square feet of building—on the east and south sides are residential developments, on the west side private hunting and wetlands and on the north side a major actively blasting granite quarry. Traffickers, abusers, drug dealers and drug seekers are able to enter our property from any direction. We are not a prison; we are not a lock-down facility. We strive to provide our patients with a beautiful environment for them to feel respected and cared for, as well as secure and safe. There have been instances of patients who have engaged in trespassing activities, patients who have sustained injury and reports of items and substances being discretely placed for retrieval by patients. The fact that we accept patients from the entire state coupled with our 24-hour a day admission policy creates a significant amount of non-local traffic through residential areas in-route to our facility. In some cases, patients who are known to be under the influence may elope from the facility either on foot or by vehicle. We are very fortunate to have a great working relationship with the local law enforcement and county Sheriff’s department however they are extremely busy with the general population. This system would reduce the number of calls we would have to make to these agencies and assist them when they are required to investigate. Having this security system in place would allow Project Turnabout to be prepared and proactive going forward, reduce the number of calls to local authorities and still provide a very safe and secure atmosphere for our patients."

"Southside is a 50-year-old Federally Qualified Health Center, authorized by federal law and funding to deliver health care to underserved communities. As a safety-net community clinic in South Minneapolis, Southside provides affordable access to primary medical, dental, vision, and behavioral health care services to approximately 10,000 unique patients (100% low income) per year. Southside’s mission is “improving the health of our patients and communities by delivering exceptional care, removing barriers, and promoting healthy lifestyles” to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. The project is in a Medically Underserved Area and Primary Care, Mental Health, and Dental Health Provider Shortage Area in South Minneapolis. Southside provides comprehensive primary and preventive health medical services, including lab, COVID-19 testing/vaccination, and ultrasound. Southside offers primary care vision services for all ages and features onsite retail offering frames and lenses where patients can obtain glasses without having to make multiple stops. Southside provides integrated behavioral health services and support to individuals, couples, and families. Southside also offer chronic disease management along with other enabling services. Even with Southside’s dental services operating five days a week there are still long waiting lists. Southside’s mobile dental unit is fully equipped and handicapped accessible and regularly visits local nursing homes, assisted living care facilities, and charters schools to help reduce barriers to care for those who need it most. The only other dental chairs in Minneapolis that take Medicaid or uninsured dental patients are three dental chairs in Richfield. Southside’s dental clinic increased access in recent years by adding Advanced Dental Therapists to the provider staff, allowing it to open monthly for Saturday clinics, add procedures to accommodate walk-in patients, and to act as a dental diversion site for Abbott Northwestern’s Emergency Department. In 2021, 31% of Southside patients had Medicaid insurance, 60% had no insurance, and 53% had incomes under 100% of the federal poverty level. Southside also provides MNSure patient navigation, Health Care Home Coordination, interpreter services as 52% of patients are best served in a language other than English, and nutrition and cooking classes. In 2021, there were 13,147 Medical patient visits (not including 15,739 COVID-19 vaccine visits), 3,936 Behavioral Health patient visits, 11,633 Dental visits, and 1,439 vision services visits. These 30,175 patient visits were provided 100% to low-income persons. Construction of the new facility will increase capacity by 40% to improve the health of the overall community. Southside is committed to co-locate with related services that affect individual and community health and will be located on the same parcel as Sabathani, a longstanding community center focused on serving the African American population in South Minneapolis. Nearly 84% of patients self-identify as BIPOC Hispanic/Latino (58%) and Black/African American (14%). With the presence of a food coop across the street, and the addition of Southside’s clinic will create a resiliency hub in the neighborhood. The project will retain 95 permanent positions (27% held by Low Income Persons) and create another 28 positions that are in a high wage and high demand healthcare industry."

Not enough research currently exists to understand the immediate and downstream effects of prolonged periods of a pandemic disruption across the sectors of classroom learning, co-curricular activities, student clubs and sports, and personal relationships. However, as national news outlets have reported, it is already clear that the pandemic has negatively affected student mental health. Given today’s complexities, it is proactive and wise to pursue mental well-being training for St. Olaf students, faculty, and staff, so they can recognize the early warning signs of mental illness; intervene appropriately, and refer people to resources. This training benefits the campus community, but also importantly will be part of the toolkit students, faculty, and staff take to their home communities. Training will equip students to be better citizens of the communities they eventually settle in. The long-term implications of mental illness drain our healthcare systems and crisis resources. Not only are troubled students less likely to thrive while pursuing studies and degrees that will lead to employment, but without interventions, they may not graduate. If they do graduate, they will bring their struggles to the workplace if interventions do not take place. St. Olaf College students, alumni, and employees are actively engaged in various communities around the world, within the United States, and more directly in Minnesota. Many St. Olaf alumni (“Oles”) are employed and live in Minnesota communities. While in college, students interface and involve themselves in the Northfield (MN) community through student-work employment; classroom academic and civic engagement internships; and volunteering. For example, students pursuing education majors interact with K-12 classrooms in the Northfield Public Schools. Social work majors are placed in a variety of community settings including the schools, area nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. A wide range of students mentor children and youth through Project Friendship. Not only will the proposed project assist St. Olaf students who need mental health support, but training will also enable a wider range of students, faculty, and staff to learn about mental health well-being and resources that will prepare them to aid the communities they are part of, both now and into the future."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Boys & Girls Club of Rochester "Every day 219,277 kids in Minnesota leave school with nowhere to go. They risk being unsupervised, unguided, and unsafe. Nationwide, data shows that parents of color, as well as families with low incomes, especially value afterschool programming’s role in supporting healthy development, building life skills, and reducing risky behaviors. However, for every child in Boys & Girls Club programs, three more are waiting. While demand for Club programs has soared, parents and caregivers report barriers to participation. Cost, lack of a safe way to and from programs, and lack of available programs were reported as the most important factors in not enrolling their child in a program. Boys & Girls Club of Rochester’s Off-site Expansion Program will break down barriers to participation by providing programs when and where kids need us most, at no charge to participants, in locations – their housing development or school. Boys & Girls Club is Minnesota’s largest after-school program provider, serving 22,266 youth at 56 Club sites across the state. Club programs address today’s most pressing youth issues with programs that are designed to empower youth to excel in school and lead healthy, productive lives. Club is needed in Olmsted County: 24.5% of residents are under 17 years old; 11.3% of children live in poverty; 37% do not have access to enrichment activities outside of school. 55% of our members are aged 12 and under; 45% are teens; 77% are minority races or ethnicities, 90% qualify for free or reduced-price school lunch, and 67% live in single-parent households. We know Club has a positive impact on youth: 100% of our teen-aged members expect to graduate high school and 100% expect to complete some kind of post-secondary education; 70% of Club members ages 9 and older report getting at least an hour of physical activity on five or more days per week. For over 20 years, Rochester's Boys & Girls Club has demonstrated the ability to meet the needs of Rochester youth, particularly those living in hard-to-reach, underserved communities, with a positive, safe environment to become productive and responsible citizens. The effectiveness of Boys & Girls Clubs has been proven repeatedly. An independent survey of Club alumni found that Clubs help kids grow into productive citizens. The survey revealed our alumni’s firm conviction that Club had a positive effect on their lives and influenced success in later life. In fact, more than half of the alumni said that their Boys & Girls Clubs saved their lives. Moreover, Club brings benefits to our communities. A new study commissioned by Boys & Girls Clubs of America finds that every dollar invested in Boys & Girls Clubs returns?$9.60?in current and future savings to communities. These cost savings include preventing costly expenditures for health care, public assistance programs, and criminal justice system involvement. The mission and core beliefs of Boys & Girls Club of Rochester fuel our commitment to promoting safe, positive, and inclusive environments for all youth because they are the leaders, innovators, and problem-solvers of tomorrow."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies First Witness Child Advocacy Center "The effects of trauma from abuse can be short or long-term, impacting relationships, childhood development, the ability to learn, appropriate sexual development, and leads to acting out behaviors, self-injurious behaviors, depression and anxiety. We know from Adverse Childhood Experiences studies that trauma impacts reducing factors that include the child’s level of resilience, coping strategies, and the non-offending caregiver’s response and support after the disclosure of abuse. In addition to the devastating health consequences of child maltreatment, the economic costs are massive in terms of healthcare, treatment and counseling, incarceration, and lost productivity; Prevent Child Abuse America estimated the cost of child maltreatment in 2012—including both direct and indirect costs—to be $80 billion (Gelles & Perlman, 2012). In 2018, the economic lifetime burden associated with child abuse and neglect had grown to $592 billion (CDC, 2022). Each year, nearly 700,000 children are abused in the U.S. This number may be higher as the actual number of children abused is likely underreported. No city or county is immune to child abuse, and these statistics are reflected locally. Our region alone has experienced a 150% increase in reports over the last decade. Child abuse was first recognized as a national concern in the 1960s. As the causes of abuse were researched, prevention measures were developed that paved the way for the future of prevention, which is seen as an important means of keeping children safe from abuse (Child Welfare Information Gateway, 2017). We know that our prevention programming is making a difference in mitigating abuse, but it is not the entire solution for ridding our community of abuse. Public engagement and education campaigns have been proven to use communication strategies (e.g., framing and messaging or social marketing), a range of communication channels and community-based efforts to reframe the way people think and talk about child abuse and neglect and who is responsible for preventing it (CDC, 2016). Such efforts can lead to a shift in perceived responsibility for children—from personal to shared responsibility; increase in public support for policies supportive of children and families; reduction in beliefs that corporal punishment of children is appropriate; reduction in reported use of corporal punishment; increase in beliefs that nurturing children at every age is appropriate; reduction in beliefs that getting help for parenting is bad; increase in seeking help for parenting, increase in public awareness of factors that can inhibit or promote healthy child development (CDC, 2016). Our request will provide prevention education, community training, and engage our community with the important work of abuse prevention. We are focused on building safety into communities, supporting individuals, and strengthening community resiliency to trauma. We bring forth the voices of the families we serve, translating their lived experience to other system professionals, creating individual, systemic and social change.

SMUMN’s Minneapolis campus is located in the Phillips West neighborhood, where half of residents identify as African immigrant or African American, and the median household income is below $20,000 per year—far lower than city and state averages. SMUMN nurse anesthetist students complete clinical training at more than 40 clinical sites, including hospitals serving local high-need populations. Both of SMUMN’s nursing programs (BSN and CRNA) work closely with nearby hospitals, including Mayo Clinic Health Systems, Olmsted Medical Center, Hennepin County Medical Center, and Fairview Health Services, giving every student practical, hands-on experience providing patient care. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, nursing programs have had access to fewer clinical sites and are instead using technology to train students. It is highly likely that this will continue into the future; Minnesota must be prepared to continually deploy expertly trained nurses in this new environment. SMUMN’s state-of-the-art nursing simulation labs will also serve as a training ground for Minneapolis and Winona-based physicians, nurses, and community members to practice vital skills and techniques via simulation. For example, anesthetists from Minneapolis Children’s Hospital will practice difficult techniques on lifelike child manikins. In Winona, Saint Anne’s Senior Living of Benedictine Health Systems is a major trainer of Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) in the county and currently they train with substandard equipment.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Metro Meals on Wheels "Background Metro Meals on Wheels is the association of 33 Meals on Wheels programs in the Twin Cities metro area. With our program partners, we lead the effort to make sure people in our community receive the nutritious meals and the human connection they need to help them live independently. Meals on Wheels is a community-based service that provides fresh, nutritious meals delivered directly to the homes of seniors and individuals with disabilities throughout the Twin Cities. In addition to regularly providing healthy foods, caring volunteers provide the social connection that helps meal recipients remain living independently in their own homes. In 2018 MMOW opened its own in-house Kitchen to produce meals for the local MMOW programs. The menu was varied and rotates on a 5-week basis. Currently, the kitchen is producing almost 2000 meals each day that are delivered to our local partners 5 days per week to be delivered by volunteers to seniors in those communities. While there are meals on the menu inspired by different cultures, the meals are created to appeal to and meet the needs of a mostly white/Christian senior community. In 2020 at the start of the pandemic, we had the opportunity to partner with local restaurant Afro Deli and Grill to produce and distribute Halal meals to East African seniors. This was the first partnership for MMOW that provided culturally specific meals produced by people of that community. Through this partnership, which ended in December of 2021, we learned the value of having culturally specific communities lead the process of creating and distributing meals in their communities. We made this process a more permanent one with the addition of several partners in 2021 and 2022 to serve immigrant senior communities meals they are creating with very limited resources. The vast majority of these meals are being funding through Title III/Older Americans Act dollars. But MMOW is very limited in its ability to create enough meals to meet the needs of immigrant senior communities using our current kitchen space. The addition of another commercial kitchen dedicated to these meals will create a more equitable outcome for the seniors in the metro region that are in need of a meal. According to MN Compass data, there are over 31,000 Somali-born Minnesotans in the Twin Cities area, of those nearly 75% live at or below 200% of the poverty level. Also according to MN Compass, there are nearly 50,000 foreign-born seniors (60+) living in the Twin Cities and another 21,000 between the ages of 50-59, almost 40% of those living at or below 200% of the poverty level. Once this program begins it will take about 48 months to become self-sufficient. Our past programs have shown that a combination of individuals paying partially or fully for meals out of pocket, and the small percentage of overhead MMOW collects from reimbursement programs like Tile III and insurance waivers, will allow this kitchen and meal production to be paid for without additional funds.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Minnesota State College Southeast "Continued economic growth in Southeast Minnesota relies on a highly-skilled workforce capable of meeting current and future demands from the Advanced Manufacturing sector. Demographic shifts coupled with decreased participation in the workforce means that manufacturers must increasingly rely on automation to ensure that productivity remains high. There is a geographic hole in the availability of mechatronics training programs that extends from Winona to Eden Prairie. The Red Wing campus has started offering programming for entry-level workers, but this particular program will increase the number of highly-trained technicians who will be able to meet the emerging industry needs for more advanced skills. Mechatronics is a high-demand and high-wage career opportunity, with median hourly wages well above $25 and expected growth over the next ten years to exceed 10% across the state. According to a recent survey of manufacturing business conditions by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development 80% of manufacturers report labor issues as a major impediment to their supply chain. The state currently has an 8% job vacancy rate, and there are only 6 unemployed people for every 10 positions available in the state. Employers who are not retaining employees will find it increasingly difficult to find employees and will need to invest in their current employee pool to fill more highly-skills positions. The benefit to the local community of expanding the Mechatronics Technology program in Red Wing fall into three major categories. First, this will make careers in automation more visible to school-age students and show them that careers in local industries are highly technical, rather than the labor-intensive careers that many imagine. The high paying careers that this project will support will help with population stabilization in rural areas. Second, this proposal will not only finish the pipeline of talented technicians provided to employers, but it will also allow them to train existing employees for more advanced careers without the high expense of sending employees out of the area for training. It is far more cost effective to retain and promote an employee than to try to recruit new employees, and that is particularly true in rural areas where the population is small and adequate skills training may be limited. Third, this will help local communities attract new business and industries by clearly demonstrating that there is a trained talent pool available and that additional workers can be upskilled to meet the local demand. Businesses cannot grow without talented people and ever advancing skillsets, and new businesses will locate in areas where they feel they can attract the employees they need. Having a local program will increase that confidence and make an appealing location that community economic development professionals can promote when trying to attract a new business to the Red Wing area."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies St. Luke’s Hospital of Duluth "St. Luke’s takes great pride in our history of becoming Duluth’s first hospital in 1881. Since then we have grown immensely, yet have always remained deeply rooted in our mission: The Patient Above All Else. We serve our friends and neighbors, not just in Duluth, but from throughout Northeastern Minnesota. We pride ourselves on being a trusted regional partner of rural hospitals, enhancing the care they provide, and serving as a tertiary referral center for patients who need a higher level of care. We also pride ourselves on always being able to say “yes” when a rural hospital asks us to accept a patient. However, during the pandemic, there were many times when our Hospital was full and we had to be on divert. When our regional partners called to transfer a patient, our answer was a heartbreaking “no” a number of times, because we did not have adequate critical care space. The requested $5 million would change this situation in the future. We would have expanded critical care capacity in our Hospital, increased capacity for patients who need to be in isolation, and the ability to provide immediate critical care support to physicians and patients in rural hospitals throughout the region. This funding would allow us to serve more patients at their time of greatest need and, ultimately, save lives." Duluth MN $5,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Regions Hospital "To serve the intensifying needs of our patients and community, we are expanding our Emergency Center with the help of outside contributions. Serving about 95,000 visitors annually, the Regions Hospital Emergency Department serves the residents of the east metro and residents statewide with high quality and accessible emergency care. Among key demographics for visitors the Center welcomed in 2021: • 75 percent were uninsured or covered by government-sponsored insurance • 47 percent were people of color • 9 percent spoke limited English • The Regions SANE {Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) program serves the greatest amount of sexual assault victims in the east metro. Health Equity Nationwide data shows that, due to the persistent lack of health access and disparities in health equity, the first (and often only) access many low-income people and people of color have to medical care is through an emergency room. In addition, due to disparities in preventive care and access to primary care providers, these members of our community often present with high-severity health conditions. While we ultimately want all patients to have access to the highest-quality preventive and primary care - and we work toward that vision - the simple reality today is that many vulnerable people show up in our emergency care facilities first. This reality makes our expansion work at Regions Hospital all the more urgent. Given the hospital's location near downtown St. Paul and adjacency to several cultural corridors - including the historic Rondo neighborhood, University Avenue, and Latino districts on the East and West Side of St. Paul - it is especially important that we update our moderate- to high acuity units to create a safer, higher-performing, culturally appropriate and welcoming environment that will contribute to individual and community healing. Charity Care Regions Hospital is the charity care leader of the East Metro and the second largest provider of charity care in the Twin Cities, behind Hennepin Healthcare. The Emergency Center absorbs a large percentage of the hospital's charity care expenses by serving very vulnerable patient populations. In 2021, Regions provided $18.5 million in charity care costs to care for 48,538 patients who did not have insurance or could not afford care. These costs are one reason why Regions partially relies on outside contributions to fund special projects and values these funding partnerships with deep gratitude."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies St. Catherine University "STEM occupations in both the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota are projected to grow at a faster rate (7.2%) over the 2018-2028 period than non-STEM jobs (4.7%), yet employers are already having a hard time finding the STEM talent they need to fill positions, risking their competitive edge; the current STEM job vacancy rate is 6.2% statewide, and 6.5% in the metro. Women of color are in especially short supply in a field that is 89% white and 72% male nationwide. Because women and BIPOC individuals receive a disproportionately small share of STEM degrees awarded in the state, filling STEM jobs in Minnesota requires that we attract a wider pool of students to the field and that we do so beginning in middle and high school, when girls and minority students retreat in large numbers from math and science. As a Minority Serving Institution and women's university, St. Kate's is uniquely positioned to build the diverse STEM pipeline Minnesota's labor market needs. According to the National Science Foundation, diversity – of thought, perspective, and experience – is essential to achieving excellence in 21st century science and engineering research and education. People with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives approach problems differently, ask different questions, and develop more innovative solutions, advancing scientific understanding while accelerating economic growth and competitiveness. The Expanding HERizons initiative builds a targeted infrastructure to attract, engage, and propel BIPOC girls and women along a STEM education-to-career pipeline that fosters their collective talents while diversifying the workforce. For nearly 100 years, St. Kate's has been a critical locus in the Twin Cities region for educating diverse women in the sciences and launching them into careers in a wide variety of medical, technological, scientific, and academic fields. Expanding HERizons benefits Twin Cities area girls, starting in middle school, who will be provided hands-on educational experiences and access to state-of-the-art equipment and technology at St. Kate’s to build their interest in STEM and their confidence in themselves as future scientists. The project benefits young women studying math and sciences at local community colleges by providing a seamless transfer pathway to bachelor degree programs in all-women classrooms taught by faculty that is 85% female - environmental factors correlated to higher achievement and graduation rates for college women in STEM. Expanding HERizons rewards the women who graduate with the skills necessary to secure well-paying careers in high-demand STEM fields, bringing family-sustaining wages and spending power to the region. In Minnesota, median hourly earnings for STEM jobs are nearly $20 more an hour than median earnings for all other jobs, providing STEM professionals with incomes that help minimize wage disparities based on race and gender. Local businesses and industries that hire these female graduates will be rewarded with the growth and innovation a highly-skilled diverse STEM workforce brings. That innovation, in turn, results in scientific, medical, and technological breakthroughs and advances that solve some of the most pressing challenges our communities face, benefiting us all."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies United Family Practice Health Center "United Family Medicine (UFM) is a Federally Qualified Health Center located in the historic West 7th Street/Fort Road Federation neighborhood of Saint Paul, Minnesota. UFM serves as a “holistic health care center” for underserved populations within our culturally and economically diverse community. We deliver high quality health care to all persons regardless of their insurance status and offer a sliding scale fee model for underinsured or uninsured patients to guarantee low-barrier access to integrated health care services. UFM is committed to partnering with community-focused organizations to expand the reach and impact of our health services. “Satellite Campus Clinic” actualizes this commitment, creating a formalized partnership with Saint Paul College (SPC) to establish an on-campus satellite UFM clinic designed to holistically meet students, faculty, and staff’s physical and mental health needs. SPC is a public community and technical college located within our clinic’s service area. Currently, SPC does not have an on-campus clinic of any kind, leaving students to search for medical and mental health resources elsewhere or (for some) not at all. UFM and SPC see the mutual benefit of offering on-campus medical services to SPC students, faculty, and staff, especially given the demographic make-up for SPC’s student body. As a Minority-Serving Institution, 66% of SPC students identify as BIPOC. Additionally, SPC is an open-enrollment institution, resulting in a diverse mix of students across age and lived experiences: 40% of enrolled students are 25 years old or older 3% of enrolled students are refugees and asylum seekers 12% of enrolled students are foreign born 7% of enrolled students are Veterans 42% of enrolled students are eligible for a Federal Pell Grant With over 30-years of experience serving culturally and economically diverse community members, UFM knows the conditions that create health disparities disproportionately impact the students SPC strives to serve—BIPOC individuals, refugees, Veterans, and people from low-income households. Likewise, SPC is aware of the barriers many students face to receiving medical and mental health treatment. For example, according to a 2019 Institution Report conducted by the Hope Center surveying 324 SPC students, 7% of students reported having a physical disability, 11% a chronic illness, and 31% a psychological disorder. Additionally, 30% reported using Medicaid or other public health insurance. SPC has taken steps over the past two years to provide more supportive health services to students in need. However, an on-campus satellite clinic would be the most significant step taken towards the college’s supportive health services effort, fostering connections to low-barrier, culturally appropriate, and trauma-informed care for thousands of students on-campus who might not otherwise have consistent access. While details of service offerings are still being finalized, United Family Medicine is equipped with the staffing resources to provide the following care on-site: Primary and preventative care Sexual and reproductive health care Behavioral and mental health services and therapy Social work support COVID-19 testing and vaccinations Addiction services" St. Paul MN $250,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Minnesota State HealthForce via Winona State Unive "Winona State University (WSU) seeks funding for Minnesota Healthcare Education and Resiliency Training (MN HEART). MN HEART will use industry best-practices learned through years of experience delivering evidence-based trainings to healthcare workforce through Continuing Educ. and Customized training departments, and statewide partnerships with employers/associations via the Minnesota State HealthForce Center of Excellence, at WSU. MN HEART is a collaboration between HealthForce and four healthcare associations: the Minnesota Hospital Association (MHA), Care Providers of MN, LeadingAge MN, and MN Home Care. MN HEART will offer trainings to Minnesota’s healthcare workers and students to support mental health and resiliency. This work will build on efforts at each organization and ensure geographic coverage across Minnesota. To address these mental health and resiliency needs, the Minnesota State HealthForce Center of Excellence (housed at Winona State University), the four associations identified above, and other key partners, will form Minnesota Health Education And Resiliency Training (MN HEART) to strengthen, expand, and build on existing efforts in the state to offer a menu of mental health and resiliency trainings to healthcare workers and students. The training menu includes the nationally recognized Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training, resiliency training, and stress management, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing trainings. These trainings are already available in Minnesota through Minnesota State’s Customized Training and Continuing Education departments. This funding will support expansion of offerings and eliminate an access barrier by offering trainings at no-cost to trainees. MN HEART will also identify training gaps that will be filled by adding to the menu of offerings either by creating new content or by accessing existing trainings in place in other parts of the country. MN HEART will also provide content to healthcare and public safety faculty and students so that the future workforce pipeline can be equipped with resiliency resources before entering the workforce."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Reif Arts Council "We believe our programs help students in so many facets of their life. From supporting mental health, to filling the void left by recent district cuts to arts in school, we can be the catalyst for engaging arts activities for children of all ages in our region. We also know that financial barriers are often cited as the number one deterrent when students are deciding on what to pursue or not, and we feel that is a barrier we need to eliminate to ensure we are reaching everyone that wants to participate. Sometimes it’s as simple as getting students through the door one time. Once they experience all that our programs can provide, they continue to engage and grow and participate—often it’s all they need to create new skills and ignite new passions that will follow them through life. That is the power that arts education has, and it’s one we have a responsibility to spread. These programs also support our overall organization which allows us to employ 8.5 FTE as well as numerous part-time and contract employees, but that is only a surface scratch... According to the Arts and Economic Prosperity Calculator (provided by Americans for the Arts), our annual expenses coupled with the funds spent here by our annual audiences of 25,000 people translates to an equivalent of 71 full time jobs, local government revenue raised of $77, 568 per year and annual revenue raised for the state government of $127,935. That is significant, but we need to get back to that full level of impact by jumpstarting our education programs now—and that is why this funding is so vital to our efforts and plans in this regard."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Building Strong Communities "Founded to promote diversity and increase equity in Minnesota’s construction and building trades, Building Strong Communities is unique and merits congressionally directed spending. The Building Strong Communities Apprenticeship Readiness program reduces disparities through job training and employment among Minnesota's underrepresented populations. While hiring a diverse team helps construction companies deal with labor shortages, more importantly, a diverse workforce builds economic power and stability for communities that have historically been left out. The next generation of workers will be part of an increasingly diverse talent pool. Our goal is to ensure this pool of workers has access to the opportunities available through the construction and building trades, including family-sustaining wages and benefits. This program benefits the local community on an individual and community-wide level. We benefit individuals by increasing economic security among populations most affected by employment and educational disparities. We invest significant time and energy in ensuring each participant receives individualized attention from an advocate for up to 15 months to assist with support services and job success. Both Advocates and the Building Strong Communities team work with social service providers, other workforce nonprofits and our school partner to address barriers to enrolling in construction apprenticeships, such as GED/high school diploma completion, drivers’ licensure, and personal challenges. This person-centered approach improves outcomes, and provides direct access to economic mobility. At a community level, our program provides benefits by strengthening local economies, increasing tax revenue, addressing labor shortages, and bolstering job creation and retention. Our program also lowers taxpayer burden by reducing strain on public resources like unemployment and other public benefits." Duluth MN $400,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Advocates for School Trust Lands "Upon statehood, the Founding Fathers of our country granted Minnesota school children trust lands to provide funding for schools in perpetuity. Today, our students are the beneficiaries of 2.5 million acres of land held in trust for school funding as required by trust law and the MN State Constitution. In prior years, this trust has been diminished; fiduciary obligations were violated. Under the national leadership and guidance of Advocates for School Trust Lands (ASTL formerly CLASS) we have begun to restore that trust obligation by passing legislation creating a School Trust Lands Office and a School Trust Lands Director. As a result, the value of the Permanent School Fund (PSF) and the annual distribution to schools has increased. However, there is much more work to be done to fulfill our trust obligation. Minnesota school children needs the ongoing leadership and historical expertise ASTL provided in the past and will provide in the future with the help of this financial request. ASTL is the only organization that represents the beneficiaries and will stand up for and honor the trust obligations as intended by our Founding Fathers.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies GMCC (Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches) "We seek to bridge the digital divide affecting the local community and Minnesota by: 1- Expanding access to digital technology and broadband internet to youth and families from underinvested and disconnected communities. Lack of access to technology has widened the digital divide, which already disproportionately impacts people of color. Although the nation has, overall, increased the number of computer science course offerings in K-12 education, students of color are still at a disadvantage due to lack of resources outside of the classroom: According to a 2016 report from Gallup and Google, two-thirds of White students report using computers at home, whereas only half of Black students do. Our offerings will allow youth to learn, navigate, and experiment with different technologies. Digital learning support will especially help students who have been disproportionately impacted by COVID to catch up on their learning and development. We will also engage parents, seniors, and people with Limited English Proficiency in digital navigation courses curated based on their interests, needs, and feedback. These courses will help them access digital services, apply for jobs, and support their children with homework at home, among other things. In Summer 2022, we are launching a “Teach the Teacher” project in which paid GMCC Tech Teens graduates will work with our Lead Tech Teens Guide/Instructor to co-develop a basic digital skills training curriculum to teach to their parents and other community members. 2- Creating a talent pipeline from underserved and disconnected communities to the tech industry. BIPOC folks are significantly underrepresented in the tech industry: According to the Brookings Institution, Black people make up 11.9% of all workers but only 7.9% of tech workers. Part of the reason is that youth of color lack exposure to entry-level tech skills. We will (i) spark interest and ambition in BIPOC youth to pursue tech careers by exposing them to different areas in the tech field, (ii) teach them in-demand programming languages, including JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, (iii) help youth earn industry-recognized certifications, (iv) and connect them to BIPOC tech entrepreneurs and IT firms in Minnesota. Most of our youth lack access to opportunities for vocational and career exploration and professional relationships that can facilitate upward mobility. Our systems are built on personal connections, which means that power, wealth, and opportunities continue to concentrate within the same groups. BIPOC youth often do not have the opportunity to access or even imagine themselves in high-achieving roles. We will provide youth with job shadowing opportunities. 3- Providing trauma-informed mental health support and social-emotional learning activities. Many of our constituents suffer from trauma stemming from civil war in their home countries, displacement, poverty, prolonged stays in refugee camps, transitional living in impoverished and underinvested neighborhoods, and community violence. We will provide mental health support via licensed therapists who are trained to work with BIPOC youth and families.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies GMCC (Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches) "Minnesota continues to struggle with racial disparities across all categories. BIPOC populations are more affected by the opioid crisis, in part because of the lack of culturally-specific services that work with community leaders and those with lived experiences. Our project intends to both treat and prevent substance abuse in Somali communities using a combination of best practices; trauma-informed, culturally specific approaches; training and hiring individuals in the community who have been successful in long-term recovery; and training community leaders and families to reduce stigma and understand warning signs and contributing factors to SUD. Our project is designed to make an impact greater than among those we engage with directly. Reducing the cultural and religious stigma that come with SUD and recovery, starting with faith leaders (Imams) and mothers (“hooyos”) will go a long way to addressing addiction challenges in the community. The proposed co-design process is meant to creatively engage voices that often are not part of decision making or problem solving - but who are most affected - in testing assumptions and hypotheses that reduce addiction and overdoses among Somali youth and young adults. A wraparound model of peer recovery support services and a holistic family approach can help people sustain a life in long-term recovery and prevent people with SUD from relapsing. Peer recovery support is the person-centered, evidence-based process of giving and receiving non-clinical assistance to achieve long-term recovery from SUD. Using a strengths-based approach, the model is proven to help participants change negative behaviors and improve health and wellness. A growing body of research illuminates the delivery of peer recovery coaching/support services as best practice methods to help produce lasting positive physical and behavioral health outcomes. Additionally, peer recovery support services produce significant return on investment, reducing health care and taxpayer-funded program costs and cultivating recipients' full contribution to local communities and economies. We will also facilitate training in the Seeking Safety model, “an extremely safe model as it directly addresses both trauma and addiction, but without requiring clients to delve into their trauma narrative, thus making it relevant to a very broad range of ?clients and easy to implement.” The Seeking Safety model is the only model endorsed by professional societies as having strong research support for PTSD/substance abuse. It was the second most adopted out of six models in a major Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health initiative spanning 59 agencies, and was sustained by 83% of agencies that had adopted it. The first research on CRAFT was done in 1986 and showed that 6 out of 7 family members using the model were able to get their loved ones to enter treatment. More recently, the National Association of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism published a study that engaged people from all ethnicities and used three approaches: Family members using the CRAFT model had the most success - 64% of them were able to get their loved one to enter treatment.

In these formative years, we pioneered a weekly radio show, The Native American Program, which set the stage for First Person Radio and its nationally distributed programming. This work was spearheaded by American Indian university students and journalists. The journalist and student group chose the name “MIGIZI” – bald eagle in the Ojibwe language – for the organization because the bird signifies communication as well as guardianship and high standards. These elements were what the group aspired to – excellence in communication, guardianship of the public trust, and high standards for reporting and ethics. Since then, we have broadened our purpose, became a youth-serving organization, and expanded services and offerings over time. We are innovators in emerging industries who offer Native youth a space for the exploration of cultural identity, the support to excel academically, and the opportunity to explore and launch a professional career. All our programs weave in American Indian culture and knowledge to foster a greater understanding of academic principles that can be applied through historical and cultural lenses to today’s skills and technologies. This funding will support MIGIZI core programming in academic, culture, training and youth employment. INDIGENOUS PATHWAYS Indigenous Pathways brings career development and income to youth ages 14-24 who are currently enrolled in school or want to re-enroll in a diploma or GED program. We offer pathways in media and social media marketing (First Person Productions) and STEM education dedicated to sustainable, green energies (Green Tech Pathway). Youth are paid $13.75 per hour for up to 60 hours over 10 weeks afterschool four days a week. They may pursue an internship with a partner organization or with MIGIZI once training is complete. CULTURAL, LEADERSHIP AND ACADEMIC SUPPORT Afterschool, youth can partake in our virtual or in-person tutoring, cultural and educational support 4 days a week, the Native youth leadership council, and work with staff to develop quarterly Individual Educational Plans with identified goals for academic, culture connections, community engagement and well-being. We provide in-school time support with St. Paul and Minneapolis Indian Education classrooms and cultural/wellbeing groups and field trips in four suburban districts.

Addressing systemic barriers and individual circumstances is how North@Work impacts and enhances the community’s economic conditions. Providing education, training, resources, and job placement, we allow individuals to break the cycle of poverty that has plagued their community. Al Maa’uun prides itself on the relationships it can build and maintain with individuals. North@Work through Al Maa’uun goes beyond being a job placement program but truly creates a partnership with individuals to improve their lives beyond employment. North@Work offers innovative work-readiness, training, credentials, support services, and job placement opportunities in healthcare, commercial driving, construction, and IT. These services are complemented by employer services, including racial equity, inclusion, and belonging training, coaching, and consulting services to support the needs of employers working to transform their workplaces to become racially inclusive, equitable, and places where all people experience belonging. A key signature of this program is the response to community needs. Historical, social, and environmental challenges such as systemic racism and immigration status present barriers to building economic stability. Additional conditions such as limited access to quality education, past incarceration, and housing instability severely limit the opportunities for many served by Al Maa’uun and the North@Work program."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Gustavus Adolphus College "The purpose of this project is to create an accessible and equitable academic experience for all students through Universal Design and making data driven decisions. The COVID-19 Pandemic stalled our implementation of Universal Design principles due to budget constraints and staffing challenges, all of which is still felt today. To provide the best possible equitable and accessible educational experience to all students, funding for staff and technology is much needed. All positions hired will make significant contributions towards Universal Design principles. The two Gustavus Technology Services positions will ensure all course materials, necessary documents, and information are easily accessible. In the coming year, the Library will undergo a search for a new faculty position centered in the Digital Liberal Arts, which focuses greatly on Universal Design. The Library position funded here will kick start this work. The leader in Institutional Effectiveness will play a major role ensuring the academic needs of students are continuously taken into consideration by academic departments and the offices that support student success. Universal Design principles go beyond pedagogy and information resources to how classrooms are structured and what devices students may utilize. Currently, Beck Academic Hall has multiple classrooms that are ideal for interactive learning, but much of the technology is obsolete. This funding will help Gustavus Adolphus College lead in a new era where accessible and equitable learning experiences are expected and ensured for all students. This new era will have a wide-reaching impact on the Gustavus community. Gustavus Adolphus College is a four-year coeducational liberal arts college located in Saint Peter, Minnesota. Gustavus is a rural, residential campus with approximately 2,100 students who are supported by faculty and staff who are committed to the high standards of a liberal arts education. Of those 2,100 students, 11.2% of them are both first generation and Pell eligible, and 19.3% are members of groups underrepresented in higher education. Approximately 80% of students are from Minnesota. Many students have a documented disability (12%), many need mental health support, and many try to get by with what they have, not asking for support. Implementing Universal Design principles and updating classroom technology will lead to a more accessible and equitable education for all Gustavus students. Additionally, making data driven decisions focused on student learning outcomes, effectiveness of pedagogy and technology, and student success will lead to change with long lasting positive impacts on students. Departments and programs will make decisions based on current data, faculty will have access to the support and technology needed to develop courses, and students will benefit.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Central Minnesota Child Advocacy Center "The Central Minnesota Child Advocacy Center (CAC)’s mission is to provide protection, advocacy, justice, and healing to victims of abuse in Central Minnesota. We carry out our mission by providing forensic interviews, medical examinations, advocacy to victims of abuse and their families, and integrated behavioral and mental health services. The CAC is a safe, comfortable environment that brings together a Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) of professionals to investigate and respond to allegations of maltreatment. This model can prevent retraumatizing victims, alleviate stress on the families, and ensure consistency of services to provide positive outcomes for the case. Outside of the primary focus of responding to maltreatment, the CAC provides specialized services to Sexually Exploited Youth and Vulnerable Adults, Foster Care Physicals, prevention education for educators, caregivers, and students, and outreach and training to other professionals in the community. The Adverse Childhood Experiences study found that when individuals experience trauma in their childhood, they are likely to experience negative chronic health outcomes in their adult lives (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2019). The CAC’s work to provide early intervention and healing to children after a traumatic experience is congruent with CentraCare’s goal to support children and prevent negative health outcomes later in their life. Relocating to the Plaza (on-campus) would enable improved operational efficiencies and the opportunity to purchase updated equipment to enhance the CAC’s capabilities and effectiveness. Efficiencies would enable the CAC to expand its available capacity (daily, weekly, annual) to support victims and community partners. The number of visits at the CAC increased from 328 (2019) to 399 (2021), which may be the result of COVID-19 as families spent more time at home. The National Children’s Alliance found that “Families throughout the country experienced sharp increases in risk factors for child maltreatment during the pandemic, including 'economic instability due to work stoppages, reduced hours, or job closures. Economic instability jeopardized basic health care coverage, housing stability, and home safety…. Many families were unable to access unemployment benefits, and stimulus funding was insufficient to cover lost wages…. Instability also led to mental health distress, loneliness, exposure to interpersonal violence, and other risks such as drug and alcohol use—factors highly associated with child abuse and neglect.'” In all, “[t]he long-running concerns about child and family well-being and the inadequacy of child welfare services available to children and families were clearly revealed, and a history of systemic, policy, and practice shortcomings are now even more pronounced.” The CAC has seen these issues reflected in the population it services, as well from other CACs in the state. The CAC team also heard from our County partners that although the number of child maltreatment reports was overall down in 2020 (kids lacked access to safe, trusted adults and mandated reporters), the types of injuries and abuse were different. Children were being seen for more severe injuries and more chronic abuse that we/others had seen before. The CAC requires federal assistance to address these factors without impacting clinical care services." St. Cloud MN $1,182,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies CentraCare Health System "CentraCare Health Emergency Medical Services (CCEMS), a division of the CentraCare Health System, requires modernization of its fleet to prevent ambulances from potentially breaking down during emergent, acute care transports. Further, new ambulances, which meet today's safety standards are compartmentalized in a way that is safer for both staff and patient transport. CCEMS currently has 18 ambulances, spanning across hundreds of miles of primary service area in central, and southwest Minnesota. Well over 90% of CCEMS’s fleet have over 100,000 plus miles on the odometers. CentraCare’s SW (Redwood Falls) and NW (Long Prairie & Benson) regional bases are 2-3 hours away from tertiary care centers, thus any transfers out of those region’s hospitals add additional miles each day on those ambulances. These factors impact critical 911 services for CCEMS's service area. CCEMS strives to apply best practices in Ambulance innovations and safety, but the fleet is inconsistent due to not being able to update them all at once due to budgetary constrains, and with the current safety standards. Without additional funding, trying to catch up with a fleet this size will take many years and several capital request approvals to make it happen. Supply chain issues, inflation and high fuel costs also threaten the level of care in Central Minnesota as these increase costs for fuel efficient vehicles. In addition to reliability issues, the age of the current ambulance fleet has a secondary effect of outdated patient care compartments as well as crew and patient safety features, which newer and more modern specialized ambulances afford. Additionally, older box configurations were not engineered to provide greater layout efficiency. New configurations allow the ambulance crew to provide the highest and most efficient levels of patient care in critical situations. Newer ambulance patient care compartment configurations feature these current industry safety standards, which the majority of the older ambulances do not have, such as work stations that are known to significantly reduces mortality and morbidity of both the paramedic and the patient in the event of an ambulance crash by preventing the paramedic from becoming a projectile in the patient compartment. Compartment design/layout also allows safer staff work transitions between regions due to familiarity and standardization between ambulances. This is very important with current rural recruiting and staff retention shortages reaching critical levels." St. Cloud MN $579,000 Website Letter

We provide volunteer opportunities for community members, internships and other learning opportunities for local college students, access to new music and artistic collaborations and host community events. We believe that our success as an organization, and the overall well-being of our clients, relies on strong connections with community partners. Community engagement and interaction is a critical component of ensuring successful integration of people with IDD into the community. Both the new Family Navigation Services and Behavioral Consulting Services will help LBSA expand our impact by supporting families and individuals who cannot, or do not need, to access our residential services. These services will provide support to people who are waiting, on the State's waiting list, for support. These new services will also allow us to provide help to families that live well beyond our current 30-mile radius service area. These services will especially help support people with low incidence challenges to navigate the world. Experts in the field have told us that these services will divert the people served from psychiatric units and hospital emergency rooms, and will create cost savings for the government in the process. These new services will create a need for additional employees, allow us to better compensate our current employees, enabling us to retain them. It also will provide additional advancement opportunities for employees. Laura Baker Services Association (LBSA), located in Northfield, Minnesota, is one of the longest running providers of intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) services in the country. Founded in 1897 by Laura Baker who created an environment where people with developmental disabilities could flourish in the community. 125 years later, Miss Baker’s legacy of community, music & art, focus on the individual, and an inclusive culture of dignity and respect, are all reflected in LBSA’s day-to-day operations. Our mission is to respect the life choices and dreams of people with developmental disabilities and help them reach their goals. LBSA welcomes clients who are perceived as difficult to serve. Many have had multiple placements prior to receiving services. This includes individuals with Prader-Willi Syndrome, dual diagnoses, and unique behavioral challenges. LBSA is able to accommodate individuals that other organizations may not because we provide individualized housing and service options that can help meet the level of service that is most appropriate for each individual. These services include basic housing and support services. Additionally, LBSA provides a variety of additional programming and services that are not part of our licensure requirements. An important part of LBSA’s mission is focused on the uniqueness of each individual and how we best can support their goals. As a result, we provide additional services that are designed to enhance the well-being and overall health of each individual client we serve. These services include: housing support (still in development), music therapy, creative arts, family support services and many volunteer programs and events that provide our clients opportunities to engage with community members."

Currently, this technology is not available anywhere within MN. Consistent with the goal of establishing MN as an international hub for health and biomedical research, placing this powerful, state-of-the-art imaging technology within the new Minnesota BioImaging Center at The Hormel Institute will support transformative cancer and biomedical research capabilities and services unavailable anywhere in MN and most of our neighboring states in the Midwest. MBiC will be a state-of-the-art center for biomolecular structure and function research that will serve the needs of research across Minnesota and our neighboring states. The Hormel Institute is a center of excellence for structural biology using the cutting edge Cryo-EM imaging technology now - this plan will dramatically expand expertise at the Institute and across the region in the application of a new technology that won the Nobel-prize in Chemistry in 2017. MBiC will have a sustained, transformative, and multi-level impact on the research and training capabilities within and beyond Minnesota. This project will create new jobs, create new capabilities that will attract new science-based businesses, and attract researchers from all over the Midwest and beyond to collaborate and work in the Austin and Mower County area. It will also expand our STEM activities with Riverland Community College and the local K-12 schools.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Community Action Center "The purpose of this project is to provide relational support for students using illicit substances, and clinical referrals if necessary. Because it concerns the future of dozens of Minnesota high school students, it is of vital importance to the local community, and the state at large. Northfield, like rural areas all over the state, desperately needs more SUD treatment programs. The “Rural Chemical Health Disparities Report” (2021), commissioned by the MN Department of Human Services, found that rural areas have equal or higher rates of alcohol, methamphetamine, and opioid-dependence, when compared to urban areas. However, their treatment programs, infrastructure, and medical personnel are fewer and farther between. In this situation, it should come as no surprise that rural areas like Northfield now have higher rates of overdose deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Northfield has zero in-patient services for SUD, making early prevention and treatment programs (like this proposal) vital to the health of the community. The need for effective recovery support in the ALC is especially pressing given the long-term consequences of substance use disorders that begin early in life. A 2018 overview of current research in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience found that adolescent drug use impedes neurological development, raises the likelihood of later health problems (like diabetes), and dramatically increases the odds of full-blown substance use disorders in adulthood. Investment in recovery services now will pay dividends to the local community, and therefore to the state of Minnesota as a whole, for years to come. Unfortunately, conventional clinical treatment programs have proven ineffective at the ALC. For several years, the school contracted with an outpatient substance abuse services provider that primarily works with adults. The number of students willing to work with this provider has dwindled to zero. It was only able to do 7 assessments last year and made a total of 5 referrals to other services. All the while, student drug use and the negative behavioral health impacts of drug use increased. ALC leadership has decided to end this contract, recognizing the need for a new model. CAC has an alternative model at the ready, based on its successful program for adults and the housing work it is already doing in the ALC. Rather than immediately pushing for drug abstinence, the SUD support specialist will help participating students build their “recovery capital”: the personal and social resources necessary to stay safe and, if the participant wishes, work toward recovery. A focus on recovery capital is in line with best practices for recovery, as defined by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). SAMHSA has recognized the importance of holistic care and identified four major dimensions of recovery support: health, home, purpose, and community. Through relational support and referral to both CAC and clinical services, the SUD support specialist will be working on all four dimensions." Northfield MN $50,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Metropolitan State University "Development of a professional workforce is a critical need to ensure continued growth of the Minnesota economy. Active and applied learning experiences, play a critical role in professional workforce development, especially for university students who belong to groups that are historically underrepresented in our professional workforce and low-income students. The Minnesota State Demographic Center report, “The Economic Status of Minnesotans” from 2018 highlights that the workforce of the state is increasingly diverse and those from underrepresented backgrounds are less likely to have a bachelor’s degree or higher. In the Twin Cities metro area, 42% of all job vacancies required a post-secondary degree and residents with a bachelor’s degree or higher had a labor force participation rate of 90.2% (DEED, Twin Cities Metro Area Economic Development Region 11, Sept. 2021). For businesses and non-profit organizations in the Twin Cities to grow and be successful, they need a professional workforce that includes residents from all backgrounds who are well-prepared for their careers. Nationally, employers report a desire for universities to do more to prepare our students for the workforce through career readiness support and increasing active and applied learning activities (AACU, How College Contributes to Workforce Success, 2021). Research has consistently shown that active and applied learning (also known as high-impact practices) like internships, undergraduate research, and integrating learning result in increased deep learning and personal gains for students. The gains are particularly large for first-generation university students or students who belong to groups historically underrepresented in higher education and the professional workforce (AACU, High-Impact Educational Practices, 2008). At the same time, the National Association of Colleges and Employers reports that women, Black and Hispanic/Latinx students, and first-generation college students are less likely to complete paid internships (NACE Brief: Inequity in Internships, 2021). Students, particularly those in STEM fields, who participate in undergraduate research are much more likely to complete their degree and to persist in STEM careers, particularly for students who belong to groups that are historically underrepresented in STEM fields (The National Academies Press: Undergraduate Research Experiences for STEM Students: Successes, Challenges, and Opportunities, 2017). Finally, working students typically do not get support for integrating their learning through work experience with their academic learning in a way that advances their professional career goals. This project is focused on professional workforce development for Metro students who will: 1) Gain access to and set learning goals for active and applied learning experiences; 2) Complete active and applied learning experiences with mentoring support; and 3) Communicate effectively about active and applied learning experiences to current and future employers to support career advancement. Local companies, non-profit organizations, and state agencies will benefit from access to interns, support of employees who are Metro students, and a local workforce that is professionally developed through these active and applied learning experiences."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Minnesota Public Health Association (MPHA) "In this moment in history, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Minnesota is grappling with various intersecting oppressions of racism and classism. The cumulative result of these racist systems and structures contributes to an environment that is persistently unhealthy and unsafe for Black communities, American Indian communities, Latinx, and Asian communities. The systems contributing to these health inequities have gnarled roots extending even further into the development of a diverse public health workforce that should be more presentative of the most impacted communities. People from communities underrepresented in public health careers experience barriers to accessing the same education, networks, and job opportunities others have. We must reimagine the ability of our state, county, and local employees to become fierce advocates for health in whatever setting they may inhabit. MPHA has established itself as a voice for change historically and during this past year, as the organization has engaged in the analysis of its leadership and processes to deliberately commit itself to rooting out white supremacy. Furthermore, the organization and its members organized a successful conference entitled “Together, for Planet and Community” focused on health equity, environmental justice, and workforce development for students, early professionals, and established public health workers. There is an ongoing need for professional development and support in the work of antiracist practice. The empowerment of a workforce engaged in public health and health advocacy can only result in increased health for local communities. Through a mixture of virtual and in-person trainings, this fellowship will actualize the collective power of individuals through anti-racist training and cross-cultural collaboration. With the recognition that it is our historically disenfranchised communities that suffer the brunt of health inequities, specifically training public health workers who already belong to and work in these critical areas to be further engaged in public health anti-racist advocacy will increase the health of entire communities. Increased representation in the public health workforce contributes to more inclusive policies, interventions, and programs. Though the majority of the current healthcare workforce is white, it’s critical that we intentionally create more culturally mindful solutions for those across various racial and ethnic populations in Minnesota. MPHA’s fellowship program will recruit candidates of color and American Indians who are dedicated to working with Minnesota’s populations of color. Through the MPHA fellowship, these individuals who already have a dedication to and knowledge of their local community will be able to bring their work to a new level that reaches the entire population.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Hennepin Healthcare "To increase accessibility for patients using primary or specialty clinics and hospital facilities on our multi-block campus and to allow for rapid EMS response time given heightened demands, a permanent expansion of an existing parking ramp structure with a focus on ambulance charging stations, controlled storage, and parking spaces is critically needed. With extensive camera coverage, digital wayfinding communications, and enhanced lobby space, this expansion supports both the growing needs of EMS and improves safety for patients seeking care and hospital visitors. Pre-hospital care provided by EMS and the life-saving equipment available in an ambulance have considerable influence in patient outcomes and the ability for EMS to respond to the next medical emergency. For housing insecure patients, winter in Minnesota provides amplified risk for frostbite and Hennepin Healthcare is the first hospital in the state to implement this advanced technology in an acute setting, which allows for early detection of when to utilize clot-busting medications. Collaboration between departments such as Population Health, Health Equity, and Emergency Medical Services allow teams to identify current gaps in care that can be addressed through enhanced process and equipment. Our health system partners with our patients to create community-oriented solutions to address these gaps.

With this success, and an ever-expanding community, comes even greater expectations and greater need for and reliance on People’s Center services. To better serve this growing number of patients, many of them with more complex needs related to their health, People’s Center needs to remodel its Cedar-Riverside Clinic. This enhanced clinic space will allow People’s Center to elevate their care model and lower barriers to access for even more community members in need of primary care that takes into account their language, religion, cultural background, community relationships and more. The need for health care reform is as evident as ever. Many lawmakers and activists are advancing the argument for universal health care, but it begs the question; will it come fast enough? Even during these important conversations, there continue to be populations in Minnesota, and the country at large, that encounter devastating barriers to accessing basic health care. Where one lives, the food they have access to, and the cost and availability of health care services determine more than 80% of health outcomes for communities, and disproportionately impact communities with the fewest resources such as refugee and immigrant communities, black and brown communities, and LGBTQIA communities. Without dedicated health centers that prioritize culturally competent care, who offer support to navigate our shifting health care system, these vulnerable community members would be left without access to the primary medical, dental, and mental health care that they need and deserve. The Cedar-Riverside 55454 zip code in Minnesota is one of these communities, and People’s Center is the primary clinic for many of its residents. 55454 is the densest and most diverse zip code between Chicago and the West Coast, home to the Riverside Plaza building, a 1300-unit housing complex with 4,000 residents hailing from 67 countries and speaking 93 languages. A high percentage of the population here is from Somalia, and other East African communities, many of whom are refugees who have suffered repeated violence and trauma contributing to poor mental health. Understandably many of these individuals show apprehension towards large institutions, healthcare included, and without on-going care management many people will not seek help until their medical issues become crises and treatment becomes prohibitively expensive, or worse: unsuccessful. Access to appropriate care is a humane issue. The lived experiences of these communities are often not understood or accounted for in our current systems of health and human services. Research shows that health outcomes improve when health care providers pay attention to their patients lived experiences and understand the impact those experiences have on the patient’s overall health, and their access to resources. Investment in healthcare entities who can be champions in these communities, made up by members of the community itself, is a major step in advancing healthcare equity.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies MN School Based Health Alliance "We are seeking your support for expanding the number of students served and the quality of their care through clinical equipment advances across four of Minnesota's school-based health care systems. School-based clinics have been strongholds of accessible, equitable and comprehensive preventative care for students in Minnesota for 50 years. There is no dedicated funding to support school-based health centers in Minnesota and there never has been, which creates maintenance challenges. As the only part of the health care safety net dedicated entirely to children, and a critical time for children's health care, this is a small and essential request. The gold-standard model for school-based clinics had its genesis here in St Paul, Minnesota, and is now codified in federal statute. Today, over 2,200 school-based clinics operate across the United States. Until 2022, our local School Based Health Alliance was a voluntarily coalition of the leaders who operate school-based clinics in Minnesota. There are now 27 in existence and at least 10 in development in our state. The Alliance represents and supports each of the health care providers and districts partnering in school-based health care. This request includes 4 of those partner organizations. The Alliance is a long-term community partner of the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). MDH has provided a convener to support this work since 2015 when the Alliance became an official affiliate of the national School Based Health Alliance. In January, MDH extended a CDC COVID Workforce grant to the Alliance, now a nonprofit, to assist schools with pandemic recovery. During distance learning, the mental health therapy, medical care, nutrition services, health education, and parent support delivered in Minnesota’s school-based clinics proved SBCs are a durable part of the health care safety net. This request supports continued growth of this critical part of Minnesota’s safety net. Evidence shows partnership between a local Alliance and a state program office like MDH, and dedicated state funding for new and existing school-based health initiatives, correlates with expansion of care for kids, decreases Medicaid costs and increases school success. Growth has been slow in Minnesota compared to most other states. This is a critical time to change that, particularly in rural areas where one school-based clinic can offset care shortages for an entire community. The appropriate clinical equipment allows school-based clinics to be there for kids as they recover from the pandemic, a time when their needs are critically underserved and increasingly acute. The ROI on school-based care is irrefutable. The care is not a replacement for the allied health professionals in schools such as school counselors and social workers, or licensed school nurses. Simply said, their co-existence creates ease for families and optimizes learning. Expanding this care to more children is a key lever for reducing disparities in education and health outcomes for children in Minnesota." Minneapolis MN $100,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Black Men Teach (BMT) "Minnesota ranks last (50th) in disparities between Black and white student graduation rates. It also ranks among the worst in the gap between Black/BIPOC and white students - in key-markers for long-term success like reading and math (MN Compass). Minnesota is also one of the worst places for Black people to live, with some of the greatest inequities in health, housing, incarceration rates and income experienced by Black and brown compared to white communities. In the Twin Cities, 70% of public school students are children of color, but only 7% of teachers are people of color. While diversifying the teacher workforce has been a broadly-stated goal for school districts and the State of Minnesota for over two decades, zero progress has been made. Having just one Black man as a teacher in elementary school is a game changer. By placing Black male teachers in elementary school classrooms, BMT seeks to improve outcomes in reading and math, increase sense of belonging in school and connection to learning. Research tells us that having a Black man as a teacher in elementary school, benefits Black students, especially Black low-income boys, notably (John Hopkins, 2017): * Black students who have just one Black teacher by third grade are 13% more likely to enroll in college; * Black students with two Black teachers by the 3rd grade are 32% more likely to enroll in college; and * Black low-income boys who have just one Black male teacher in elementary school are 39% less likely to drop out of high school, and 29% more likely to aspire to attend college; and * Elementary school teachers have long-run impacts on student earnings and educational attainment. Research indicates improvements in Black socio-economic and health indicators are driven by economic investment in education, and participation of Black people in decision-making and leadership (Public Health Review, 2016). BMT was designed by the Black community based on research and collective experiences. Black Men Teach will publish results of our work and create a road map for replication of our program, with the idea that our program could be tailored for teachers of other races/genders. Ultimately, we will be both helping to diversify the teacher workforce and meet the significant needs of the teacher workforce shortage. This funding strategy was designed in partnership with district leaders, and other education stakeholders, and with significant input from board members who come from university and school district leadership and policy backgrounds. BMT strategically engages Black men in high school and college, as well as career changers, to help them become elementary classroom teachers. We engage mentors who are Black educators, creating a community and network of experienced Black teachers mentoring less experienced Black male teachers. We are creating powerful opportunities for the Black community generally, and Black men in particular, to lead systemic change for the Black community in Minnesota.

Following these events, there has been significant community turmoil involving over 1,300 properties, COVID-19 deaths, disruptions in schools, work, health care, and social support systems that have resulted in worsening mental health, increased substance use, dramatic rise in drug overdose deaths, and increased violence. From research, we know that mental health, substance use, and violence share common risk and protective factors. Building on these common protective factors, including social emotional skills such as self-management and problem solving, can prevent substance use and mental health problems and promote overall health and well-being. Mental health promotion among our youth is more important now than ever as it encourages protective factors and healthy behaviors that can help prevent the onset of a diagnosable mental disorder and reduce risk factors that can lead to the development of a mental disorder. Youth who are taught the skills to cope, reach out for help, and have at least one caring adult can often show resiliency to negative experiences. Providing funding to classrooms to support a curriculum such as LST can provide lifelong benefits for adolescents such as improved self-esteem, trust in others, encouraging help-seeking behaviors, improved conflict and time management. The local communities would benefit through funding to purchase, provide training, and implement a research-based curriculum in their local schools. The LST curriculum has strong evidence of preventing substance use, promoting more positive mental health, and improving school achievement. In the long term, communities would benefit from improved physical, social, and mental health outcomes among youth, including reduced substance use, reduced anxiety and depression, and improved school achievement. Building these social and emotional skills would set youth up for lifelong wellbeing and success." St. Paul MN $665,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Minnesota Department of Health "Almost 430,000 Minnesotans may be experiencing long COVID symptoms. This is likely much higher because it does not include those self-testing for COVID or who had COVID but were never tested. COVID, a precursor to long COVID, has disproportionately impacted rural communities and, therefore, we anticipate a wave of rural Minnesotans who will require clinical and social support services to manage the effects of long COVID. Current estimates suggest that up to 15% of adults out of the work force is due to long COVID effects. Long COVID is also likely to become to most significant health issue leading to disability in the modern era. It is critical that Minnesota begins building the clinical, social service, and public health infrastructure to support those suffering from long COVID, especially as it will intersect with pre-existing chronic conditions and will impact their quality of life as individuals, at home, at work, at school, and in their communities. This project will benefit local rural communities throughout Minnesota by providing inexpensive yet needed and trusted social support services for thousands of Minnesotans experiencing mental health, disability, and other health issues related to long COVID. The proposed peer support network approach is potentially cost-effective and, thus, sustainable. This is important as we expect long COVID to be an ongoing chronic condition as long as Sars-Cov-2 infections continue." St. Paul MN $1,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Minnesota Department of Health "Maintaining access to obstetrical services in rural areas is necessary to provide quality health care with positive birth outcomes for mother and baby. Rural communities in Minnesota are increasingly at risk for closing their obstetrics services. One reason many rural hospitals stop offering obstetrics is because physicians, nurses and other clinical staff do not perform procedures frequently enough to feel confident that they are maintaining a relevant skill set. Rural communities will likely not see the population growth necessary to increase the number of deliveries in rural hospitals in a way that would give providers sufficient opportunity to maintain their skills. Advanced simulation equipment can be the next best thing by allowing them to practice, hone, and maintain critical skills across the full spectrum of scenarios possible when delivering a baby. Since babies are born whether or not a hospital offers obstetric services, it is also important for emergency department physicians, nurses and emergency medical services personnel to train for obstetrics events. The current suite of equipment is located in Cloquet, Minnesota and is open to all interested rural hospitals, however, some are upwards of five hours away from Cloquet, making the trip a logistical challenge for some. While hospitals with obstetrics services are more likely to send providers and travel to access the training, time and distance may be a barrier for hospitals without obstetrics to justify sending their teams to the trainings, even though they recognize the value to their staff and communities.

We provide diapers to 20 community non-profit partners that work directly with families. In 2022, we had to turn away 10 prospective community partners due to lack of funding. We know that with additional funding we could be distributing far more diapers each year than we currently distribute. The approaches that helped us grow from distributing 100,000 diapers in 2015 to 650,000 in 2020 will not be sufficient to help us increase yet again to 2 million diapers in 2023 and 5 million diapers by 2026. This funding would enable us to expand our services and help even more families in need. It will also give the Diaper Bank the time needed to build more sustainable practices and procedures.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Diaper Bank of Minnesota "1 in 3 Minnesota families with children ages three and under cannot afford sufficient diapers to keep their children clean and healthy. Parents who cannot afford sufficient diapers resort to leaving children in soiled diapers too long, scraping out and re-using soiled diapers, utilizing paper towels or other materials in place of a diaper … the list goes on and on. There is no federal or state funding available for families to purchase diapers. WIC and food stamps cannot be used for diapers. Daycare assistance funding does not include diapers, and lack of access to 1 weeks’ worth of diapers prevents families from being able to enroll in childcare. All of these burdens make it even more difficult for low income parents to purchase the diapers their children need and participate in the workforce. There is good news! Studies have shown that reducing diaper need also reduces parental mental health crises, reduces early childhood illness and infection, and increases parental access to the workforce. By supporting the Diaper Bank’s technology infrastructure, this funding will increase our ability to distribute 2 million diapers in 2023. Thus, this funding will also alleviate parental depression and anxiety, make it easier for parents to utilize daycare assistance (thus enabling them to hold a job), and help babies have cleaner and healthier bottoms."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Comunidades Latinas Unidas En Servicio (CLUES) "CLUES new Behavioral Health, Economic Opportunity, and Wellness Hub will contribute to the revitalization of a critical block along the Lake Street corridor damaged during the 2020 civil unrest following the murder of George Floyd. The proposed project is a Latino-community led effort that will ensure long term multi-generational wellbeing and social and economic equity for Latinos in Minneapolis and West-Metro communities. The need for the dedicated Behavioral Health clinic in this community is well established. Demand for behavioral health services for Latinos far exceeds the existing capacity of mental health systems and providers in the targeted geographic area. In 2020, CLUES waitlist for services had an average of 100 individuals seeking bilingual psychotherapy and community-based services, and in 2021 it was nearly 200 individuals (children, adolescents, and adults). Latinos are at high-risk for substance use disorder (SUD) and mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety (National Alliance on Mental Health, 2016). Migrating to the United States and acculturating can be traumatic. Trauma can cause or worsen depression and anxiety, each of which is strongly correlated with substance use. Latino men have a 21.5% incidence of binge alcohol use in the last month, significantly higher rates than either White or African American men (APA, 2018). COVID-19 also profoundly impacted our community, resulting in a disproportionate incidence of disease, lost employment, and increased homelessness with drastic detrimental impacts on mental health and SUD. Lack of medical insurance is a significant barrier to accessing behavioral health services. Latinos have the highest uninsured rates (18% for Latinos vs. 4% for Whites) of any racial or ethnic group in Minnesota (Robert Wood Johnson, 2018). On average, 50% of our mental health clients are uninsured. There are approximately 40 Spanish speaking mental health clinicians in our target area, of these nearly one-quarter do not serve uninsured clients (Washburn Center for Children, 2018). CLUES serves all individuals, regardless of insurance status. Latinos are a young and rapidly growing demographic who are essential to Minnesota's workforce and economy, yet alarming economic disparities persist with nearly three times more Latino families living in poverty than white families. The demand for CLUES services and our space capacity needs has doubled in the last decade, forcing staff to split locations and driving up our operating costs as we’ve had to lease space where our community live and work. Support for CLUES is essential to provide ownership to the largest Latino-led nonprofit, founded 41 years ago, speed community revitalization on Lake Street, and advance economic equity, prosperity, and wellbeing for underserved communities. This project will create a one-stop hub where Latinos can easily access holistic, multi-generational, and integrated services to thrive and prosper. " Minneapolis MN $4,500,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Northland Community and Technical College "The local manufacturing employers are deeply rooted in Northwest Minnesota, starting as small ideas which turned into companies that provide goods and services across the world. For example, Central Boiler, started making outdoor wood furnaces. Ericco Manufacturing started in a barn by George Erickson, building specialized machines and parts and now supplies parts for Polaris, Textron (Arctic Cat in Thief River Falls), and Marvin Windows, headquartered in Warroad and many other facilities. The purpose of the project is to collaborate and enhance Northland’s existing programming, designed to meet the needs of our communities by providing specific skill sets for employers. Many employers have been expanding their manufacturing facilities to meet the demands, including Ericco Manufacturing and Altoz, which makes lawnmowers. There are recent challenges with supply chains, transportation challenges, and getting parts to the facilities that assemble products such as Textron, Polaris, and Marvin Windows. These challenges have created the opportunity for our manufactures in the region to rely more on locally produced items to alleviate the supply chain and transportation challenges. For example, Ericco Manufacturing is producing parts for Textron and recently added on space and equipment to increase production for parts for Marvin Windows. Northwest Minnesota high schools have varying degrees of career and technical education. This project seeks to build stronger pipelines for students by engaging with those who have more advanced CTE programming, as well as those who need a partner to provide CTE programming. The project will create robust experiences from job shadowing, mentoring up through work-based learning, such as apprenticeships along a carefully constructed and sequenced curriculum, which can be offered to high school students and in post-secondary that align with the competencies, certifications, and credentials that the employers seek. The project will also engage in training and retraining of those in the existing workforce to get the competencies for a career in precision manufacturing. The importance to the area is to provide the opportunities locally. One manufacturer has been trying to recruit individuals and pay for them to get this training elsewhere without success. Either students leave for another location, or they do not want to leave and look for other local training opportunities, bypassing this exciting field. The manufacturing company has not had anyone take advantage of this opportunity yet. By using the programming and working with our local high schools, many who have strong technical education programs, we can build a pipeline of local workforce talent. Northland will also be able to utilize this new program to help companies upskill their existing workforce and train newly hired employees in a work and earn or apprenticeship model. The importance is beyond the border of Minnesota. As a college that borders North Dakota, Northland works with employers and students from North Dakota. The closest colleges offering technical training in the Grand Forks Region are approximately 2 hours away, the closest does not offer this type of programming."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies St. Cloud Technical & Community College (SCTCC) "Minnesota Department of Economic Development "Occupations in Demand" tool ranks 538 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes. Per this data, practical nursing is ranked 10th overall, placing it in the top 2% of in-demand occupations in Minnesota. Practical nursing has the highest projected growth rate of the top ten occupations with 12.8% expected growth over the next ten years. The median salary for practical nursing is exceptionally high relative to its post-secondary education requirement; a student can earn their LPN certification within one year of enrolling in the program and enter their first professional position earning a median salary of over $50,000 per year. This proposal also responds to the number one occupational demand for Registered Nurses in Minnesota. Once a nurse is licensed in practical nursing, there are several ways to career ladder and achieve registered nurse certification, nurse practitioner status, and more. A practical nurse will immediately earn a family sustaining wage while gaining the option to advance. DEED is projecting 49,000 RN position openings in Minnesota over the next 10 years. Economic outcomes stem directly from opportunity limitations experienced by refugees and BIPOC individuals. A limited array of career opportunities concentrate refugees and workers of color in lower wage occupations. Less wealth is accumulated leading to the inability to break family poverty cycles. This also predisposes family members to lower levels of health outcomes associated with lower incomes. Providing opportunities for refugees to pursue educational opportunities in health careers benefits our community by breaking this cycle. " St. Cloud MN $950,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Riverland Community College DEED data classifies manufacturing and transportation jobs as high-wage and high-demand fields with growth of 6-7% by 2030. Riverland is working with industry partners to meet these workforce challenges by revising curriculum and exploring the Learn and Earn model. Riverland recently approved a new Automation Robotics Engineering Technology Associate of Applied Science Degree, to add to our Welding and Industrial Maintenance Diplomas which train workers for the manufacturing sector. However, the equipment costs to build state-of-the art learning labs that match what is used in industry far exceed our public higher education budget. In the transportation sector, new Federal CDL regulations require entry-level drivers of commercial vehicles to receive training from a registered provider. Riverland is the only approved provider of CDL education in southern Minnesota. In response, Riverland recently hired an additional full-time instructor which will allow us to double enrollment in our credit program. Businesses like school bus, waste management, hazmat, and snow removal also need our help to educate safe, licensed drivers. These partners asked Riverland to offer faster, customized courses for their entry-level employees. To do this, Riverland needs additional equipment and staff to focus on customized training. In alignment with Minnesota State Equity and Inclusion initiatives and to reflect our changing student population, our goal is to recruit diverse faculty in these technical programs to serve our students. This project is an approach to workforce development that offers a win-win opportunity for students and employers and will help meet workforce demands in transportation and manufacturing, Riverland students will benefit from this initiative to provide a Learn and Earn model which allows for increased flexibility to earn an income while in school and puts their skills to work more immediately through on-the-job training. It removes existing financial barriers for students who are considering educational opportunities. These career fields also provide high-wage jobs which can allow an individual and/or family to earn a livable wage that contributes to our local economy. In addition, manufacturing and transportation are economic drivers in our southeast Minnesota region. Without a skilled workforce these industries cannot thrive. In the small to middle-sized communities we serve, the loss of one manufacturing or logistics company is devastating to individuals, families, and the entire community. This initiative is a proactive approach to facilitating workforce development that will have a great return on investment for our local economic vitality. Each of our academic programs has an advisory committee made up of industry partners who provide input on industry demands and needs. They fully endorse the Learn and Earn model as a win-win strategy. These local southern Minnesota industry partners will see local benefit as we are able to strengthen training opportunities for their current and future workforce. We are confident that this project will be a great return on investment.

As mentioned, our Little Falls Center has the highest level of patients on Medical Assistance of all eight of our Centers. Our capacity to expand dental services in Central Minnesota will continue to be limited until we are able to build out the new Little Falls Center. Studies indicate that rural communities, like Morrison County, will continue to have growing populations of older adults, including many adults who are now living longer with complex medical, behavioral, and dental conditions. Accessing dental care is an essential need for residents of Morrison County, therefore we work closely with the Morrison County Public Health Department. They are anxious for Apple Tree to expand care so the residents of their county can maintain a higher level of overall health. Apple Tree Dental Centers, including the Little Falls Center for Dental Health, serve as welcoming dental homes for patients of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities throughout the state. No one ages or earns out of the comprehensive, high quality, patient-centered care our teams provide, but our waiting lists are long and continue to grow. Today, our dental team is operating with mobile dental equipment “borrowed” from another of our Dental Centers. For more than five years, the team has provided tens of thousands of patient visits using this mobile equipment within a refurbished, former dialysis clinic, with curtains instead of walls to separate patients, both during treatments and while waiting for care. This has been the situation for that length of time due to lack of funding. The mobile dental equipment, which was not created for ongoing daily use, is wearing out. The facility is not optimal for patient care, for providing a good patient-centered experience, or for a satisfying working environment. The Little Falls Center hosts numerous clinical training for students in the dental professions, specifically dental assistant student rotations in partnership with Central Lakes College.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Apple Tree Dental "Access to regular dental care through teledentistry provides a pathway for people who have barriers to receiving care. Dental care is often overlooked as essential to health, health equity, and successful lives. Without access to care, many people suffer from chronic pain and infection, often only finding relief by going to the emergency room. Unfortunately, this last resort option typically means going to an emergency room, being given antibiotics and narcotics, and then still being told to make a dental appointment beyond the emergency room visit. Studies show that rural communities, like Martin and Watonwan Counties, will continue to have growing populations of older adults, including many adults who are now living longer with complex medical, behavioral, and dental conditions. A large number of these residents are not able to find transportation or are not able to travel to a clinic for care, which makes providing care via teledentistry more important than ever. This project will bring dental services to tens of thousands of vulnerable Southern Minnesota residents in the Fairmont and Madelia areas, which are HRSA designated underserved areas for dental care. Telehealth and IT enhancements will reduce travel and improve the timeliness and quality of care, facilitate geriatric and special care dentistry services, inter-professional collaboration including specialty consultation, and ultimately improved health outcomes. Using processes such as integrating medical and dental clinics, Apple Tree serves as a model for future innovations. We are an incubator for the development of new programs and services, new educational opportunities, and new funding models for serving people with dental access needs across Southern Minnesota. We have collaborative agreements with 150 other community organizations ranging from Head Start Centers to group homes, to behavioral health facilities, to long-term care facilities. This critically needed funding will help create sufficient capacity for Apple Tree to be able to hire additional new Southern Minnesota dental team members, to operate out of our new Fairmont Center and our current Madelia Center. Our proven process is designed to provide a supportive and innovative work environment that helps attract and retain staff. Funding of $316,000 will support the purchase of two complete Apple Tree Mobile Dental Offices ($220,000), 12 digital x-ray sensors ($79,800), and six high resolution intra-oral cameras ($16,200) to provide teledentistry services to thousands of underserved children, adults, elders, and people with special needs throughout the region.

This project will create a Care Coordination "hub" to link community-based care with office-based specialty services to eliminate transportation barriers, leverage local resources, increase cultural competency, and eliminate health disparities. It will bring dental services to tens of thousands of vulnerable Southern Minnesota residents, most of whom live in HRSA designated underserved areas for dental care. Linking?local patients? and? dental providers with specialists in the fields of geriatric and special needs dentistry ?through mobile dentistry using? telehealth technologies? is becoming more important in rural areas. Today, during and after the pandemic, when many people were not able to come into a Center or be seen at their long-term care facility, Apple Tree needs to expand its use of mobile dentistry, which requires a sophisticated care coordination system, to enhance communications and patient scheduling. Apple Tree Dental Centers are welcoming dental homes for patients of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities throughout the state. This project, which spans Southern Minnesota, will extend the geographic reach of Apple Tree’s Centers allowing them to fill gaps in dental access. With expanded Care Coordination, we will be able to provide flexible capacity to efficiently deliver care where it is needed most in the years ahead, helping children, families, older adults, and communities currently facing barriers to dental care.

Our Little Falls Center has the highest level of patients on Medical Assistance of all eight of our Centers. Our capacity to expand services will be contingent upon being able to attract and retain dentists, hygienists, and dental assistants to solve long standing dental health professional shortages in the region. Studies indicate that rural communities, like Morrison County, will continue to have growing populations of older adults, including many adults who are now living longer with complex medical, behavioral, and dental conditions. Accessing dental care is an essential need for residents of Morrison County, therefore we work closely with the Morrison County Public Health Department. They are anxious for Apple Tree to expand care so the residents of their county can maintain a higher level of overall health. Apple Tree Dental Centers, including the Little Falls Center for Dental Health, serve as welcoming dental homes for patients of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities throughout the state. No one ages or earns out of the comprehensive, high quality, patient-centered care our teams provide, but our waiting lists are long and continue to grow. The Little Falls Center serves Medicaid and low-income groups, including geriatric and special needs patients, and hosts educational rotations for health professional students from Central Lakes College. This funding will help establish a joint IV sedation and general anesthesia program for geriatric and special needs dental patients with St. Gabriel’s Hospital. This workforce development appropriation funding is essential to help us achieve our rural workforce development goal in Central Minnesota, which is to attract and retain dentists, hygienists, and dental assistants to solve long standing dental health professional shortages in the region. The Little Falls Center hosts numerous clinical training for students in the dental professions, specifically dental assistant student rotations in partnership with Central Lakes College. Being a medical/dental integration project, it is also providing new opportunities to improve access to earlier dental care prevention and improve overall healthcare outcomes for St. Gabriel’s medical patients. Apple Tree views the unique collaboration of this program with a primary care hospital as a model for future medical/dental integration and health information exchange projects. We are an incubator for the development of new programs and services, new educational opportunities, and new funding models for serving people with dental access needs in Central Minnesota. This project addresses both workforce development for Central Minnesota and quality of life for its residents.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Think Small "Think Small has been dedicated to its mission of advancing quality care and education of children in their crucial early years for the last 50 years!?? This work has never been more urgent than now; especially given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on early childhood programs and educators. This also had a profound impact on the children and family with whom they work with. Attendance, though steadily increasing over the last 6 months, saw a precipitous drop during the height of the pandemic. Approximately 52% of all young children in the United States missed considerable time in their early learning program. In Minnesota, 65% of young children missed at least half of their eligible days during the height of the pandemic. Though many programs valiantly provided remote learning opportunities, educators were only able to provide a median of 5 hours of direct interaction with the children per week. Even those children who were able to attend regularly experienced drops in the quality of instruction. More than 30% of teachers reported that children in their class were learning less than usual. Children of color and dual-language-learners were disproportionately affected. Throughout the pandemic, these groups were the most likely to unenroll, be forced into a remote-only option, and have the highest teacher turnover. The effects of these experiences will be felt for years to come. Minnesota’s economy and workforce have also felt significant negative effects from the pandemic. Research shows that as of February 2022, 64% of child care centers in Minnesota have at least a 25% year-over-year decline in attendance. National data shows that 46% of child care programs—and 54% of minority-owned programs—are on the verge of closing without assistance. Since 2016, Minnesota has lost 29,000 net licensed family child care slots—approximately 27% of total capacity. Further, more than two-thirds of programs in the state had to lay off staff during the pandemic. Those able to stay employed not only have additional responsibilities related to the pandemic, but they are also unlikely to be making a living wage. The average wage for the more than 23,000 child care workers in Minnesota is about $13 per hour. It is not surprising that finding and retaining educators has only been more difficult during this pandemic. As of March 1, 2022, there were more than 2,500 open child care jobs in the state posted on Indeed.com.?" Saint Paul MN $500,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Intermediate School District 917 "This project’s purpose is to implement innovative programs in Intermediate School District 917 and our nine member districts to actively advance social justice efforts by strengthening our human-centered approach to education and amplifying the voices of students, families, and staff. During the past few years, students, staff, families, and communities have recognized the importance of schools as systems that improve or hinder social justice, and we aim to serve as a hub to bring the incredible work of non-profit institutions, higher education institutions, and pK-12 school districts together to, as the Minnesota Humanities Center puts it, “positively shape our collective future.” Intermediate School District 917’s vision is to model an innovative culture with diverse pathways serving students and families through equitable practices with highly trained staff. By incorporating the social justice work of the Minnesota Humanities Center and Metropolitan State University into the teacher and leader preparation and development processes of school districts in the south metro, we can make huge strides toward achieving our district vision, increasing the numbers of teachers of color in our state, and improving the academic, social-emotional, and career outcomes for students in our district, our nine member districts, and beyond. Our students want more staff who understand them, who look like them, and/or who have traveled alternate pathways in their personal and professional lives. In a letter of student demands from Roseville Area Schools (where ISD 917 Superintendent, Dr. Michael Favor, was previously Assistant Superintendent), students outlined 10 demands to amplify their voices in their schools and communities, diversify the curriculum, and learn in diverse environments. Students want teachers who welcome ALL students into their classrooms each day. They want to learn history, language arts, science, fine arts, and music through diverse lenses and texts. They seek safe spaces, stronger relationships with adults, accountability for actions, zero tolerance for racist acts and statements, and a more diverse faculty. We thank the students of Roseville for speaking on behalf of many students throughout Minnesota. We have heard similar feedback from students across districts throughout the state, and we seek to amplify their voices further. Our schools must do better. We have so much to learn from those of us who have developed resilience and persistence by overcoming obstacles and adversity, bias and barriers, and low expectations, yet many of our systems are not designed for their success. Our program is designed to reduce barriers, diversify our educational workforce, and improve student outcomes by centering humanity in all we do in education. For the past 50 years, the Minnesota Humanities Center has partnered with organizations to provide “a gateway to expanded understanding, curiosity, and learning.” Metro State University has a long history of graduating racially, socio-economically, and culturally diverse educators who develop the knowledge and skills needed to build on their unique life experiences for the betterment of their students.

Partnering entities will interview, assess, create training plans, and help develop student interns over the course of an extended period. This will allow the employers to get to know and potentially hire Hamline graduates who have been vetted through the internship process, which they will help design. Minnesota organizations will have an advantage in identifying highly skilled and desirable candidates for openings. The broad diversity of backgrounds that students bring to their host organizations will support the inclusion commitments and cultural relationships that are highly valued by Minnesota organizations. Internships allow our students to develop pre-professional/career readiness skills needed to be competitive in today's job market while gaining experience within a professional employment setting. During their internship, students explore and work to grow in each of the eight career-ready skill competencies detailed by the National Association of Colleges and Employers: Professionalism, Critical Thinking, Career and Self Development, Technology, Leadership, Teamwork, Communication, Equity and Inclusion. Every student who participates in the Pipers to Professionals program will engage in: Internship preparation/orientation, during which the internship outcomes and expectations are co-created by student, site supervisor, and Hamline faculty member or Center for Career Development staff member Guided career mentoring in an internship seminar with faculty and internship site personnel Review and development of resume and personal elevator pitch Practice interview experience At the same time, Minnesota communities will benefit from having greater numbers of well-prepared professionals who are ready to work and serve as engaged citizens. The improved educational attainment of residents in communities, especially through the level of an undergraduate degree, has been demonstrated to have positive impacts across economic and social measures of quality of life in communities. A large proportion of Hamline’s roughly 30,000 alumni remain in the Twin Cities (MN) after completing their degree or return here to further their lives after earning a graduate, medical, or law degree from an out-of-state institution.

I read it every night.” - 826 MSP 2nd grade author, Hana In all we do, 826 MSP is dedicated to amplifying the voices of young people from historically marginalized communities. By amplifying the voices of BIPOC, immigrant, and English Language Learning students, we are creating space for perspectives which are far-too-often, and to the detriment of us all, left out or ignored from mainstream discourse. A crucial access point for our community is that we provide academic support alongside creative writing and publishing opportunities. This variety is essential, because without tutoring and academic support as an entry point, youth who don’t already identify as writers would not sign up. As we’ve deepened relationships with our community, we see the power of intervening even earlier in students’ lives. If we can get students excited about and seeing themselves in literacy at even earlier age, stronger outcomes in academic skills and personal confidence will result. Ample research and our organization’s lived experience demonstrate the positive impact of family engagement on literacy outcomes for youth. Thus, we want to merge our expertise as writing and reading educators with our families’ expertise in their own cultural knowledge and identities to increase access to and the success of literacy programming beyond the walls of our center. As many of our families primarily speak a language other than English and/or identify as English Language Learners, participating in and facilitating literacy activities for youth will also increase parents’ language competency. This demonstrates the experiential learning approach which is the hallmark of 826 MSP’s methodology. In a different sense, due to our partnerships with schools/knowledge of educational systems combined with the strong relationships we hold with historically marginalized families, we have a unique opportunity and responsibility to support families in participation and advocacy within their children’s educational experiences. Lastly, countless research shows the impact of exposure to literacy skills building in pre-kindergarten years. In this way, we are committed to utilizing all aspects of our institutional power and capacity to increase educational equity for the youth and families we serve. In terms of the local community, South Minneapolis benefits from being one of the most diverse areas in Minnesota. After more than twelve years of doing this work, we know that even within specific racial or ethnic communities, there’s still ample diversity and nuance. For example, a student who presents as Black may be from Somalia, and his or her native speaking language (Somali) may be different from the language he or she was first taught to read or write in (Arabic). These students often come from cultures with rich histories of storytelling, but may face barriers to academic achievement, specifically in literacy. Thus, prioritizing access for the primarily East African students we serve, including working with pre-kindergarten and K-12 aged youth as well as adult caregivers in their lives, leads to our collective progress and wellbeing."

These racial disparities exist and persist for a wide variety of reasons, but the economic challenges and opportunities Minnesota will face over the next 15 years are great and will need to be tackled with an equitable and multi-pronged approach to attracting, retaining, and training workers of all demographic characteristics. Working on solutions to address these disparities between the white population and populations of color is not only the right thing to do, it’s the necessary thing to do if Minnesota is going to provide employers with the workforce needed for success. Closing these gaps is crucial to keep the state’s economy moving forward.” Ujamaa Place Workforce Training Program prepares workers from an underserved demographic, young African American men, many involved in the criminal justice system. With interventions and support put in place by this program, this largely untapped pool will help to provide employers with the workforce they need to be successful in their businesses, leading to the overall success of the economy in Minnesota. A recent Ujamaa Place and Ramsey County Supervised Released Prisoner partnership directs specific services and support to African American males ages 18-24, released from the Minnesota Department of Corrections. Services include, but are not limited to, mentoring, employment training and counseling, GED preparation, mental and chemical health, cognitive skills, and emotional intelligence programming. The Ujamaa Place program generates $4.92 for every dollar invested. This return comes from approximately $1 million in increased wages that 275 participants in 2019 and 210 in 2020 would earn in the three years after finishing the program. Returns also come from mental health referrals and assistance achieving GEDs. The cost of generating these additional earnings, health and education benefits is $2.2 million. Based on existing evidence, we assume that employment training programs impact future earnings as far as three years after participation. All earnings are estimated accounting for employment and wage rates of sub-populations served by the program (e.g. previously incarcerated, disability, and race). Estimates also account for expected or observed duration of employment and hours worked. Benefits are also derived from mental health care services and employment and educational programming leading to increased earnings and improved health. The latest Wilder Research Evaluation of Participant Outcomes states: “Ujamaa Place participants are more likely to find and retain jobs and increase their personal income. Participants also earned educational degrees with the help of the Ujamaa program, improving their future lifetime earnings. Participants are also less likely to engage in criminal activities, which reduces the costs to society associated with law enforcement, incarceration, and victims’ costs.” A Wilder Research return on investment (ROI) analysis of Ujamaa Place suggests a return of $5.49 for every $1 invested in Ujamaa Place, as well as a yearly estimated net gain for society of $3,389,594."

Respectively, this is 1.6 times and 7.4 times greater than rates experience by non-American Indians. 2) Data from the American Community Survey - Minneapolis (American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, 2012-2016) shows American Indians (17.9%) are 1.4 times more likely to be uninsured compared to the general population of Minneapolis (12.5%). 3) 14.3% of IHB’s service area population report having diabetes, which is the 4th leading cause of mortality in the service area. 4) 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. 5) Yet, in IHB’s service area, American Indians are nearly three times more likely to report having frequent mental distress compared to the general population. 6) While 70% of Native people live in urban centers, UIOs get less than 1% of the IHS Budget. Yet, UIOs do not have access to IHS building/ facilities capital which requires us to seek other sources of funds for our capital projects. 7) The project will support a 38% increase in patient visits over 2020 levels.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies C.A.R.E. Clinic "CARE Clinic should receive congressionally directed spending because of our importance to the greater Minnesota community. Our medical program increases access to health care for rural Minnesotans and sees approximately 50% new patients each year. We are increasing rural oral health care access, putting taxpayer dollars to good use by accepting public insurances, and reducing the financial burden that can accompany dental related emergency room visits. The dental access issues rural Goodhue County residents face is reflected across rural communities within Minnesota as persistent gaps in oral health care continue to exist. By accepting public insurances, CARE Clinic presents the opportunity for taxpayer dollars to be put to use within rural Minnesota communities, whereas the dollars would go unspent if and when offices do not accept public insurances and individuals have nowhere to go for dental care. Our mental health program is also important because of the need for linguistically and culturally competent mental health care providers for Hispanic patients in rural Minnesota communities. CARE Clinic also aids in opportunities to educate and train diverse health care professionals, contributing to the need for bilingual and bicultural providers who are able to provide linguistically and culturally competent care to Minnesota communities. We are educating, training, and increasing the number of licensed dental professionals eligible to work in Minnesota upon completion of their programs, addressing the need for licensed dental professionals in Minnesota. CARE Clinic's dual training program for students/employees pursuing health care degrees supports both the individual success of the students/employees and future racial health and economic equity as a whole by encouraging individuals from marginalized communities to enter the health care industry. This project benefits the local community by providing free and affordable health care to patients that would otherwise have to travel outside of Red Wing/Goodhue County for similar services. Of a population of roughly 47,000 in Goodhue County, it is estimated that 5% of people under age 65 are uninsured, around 18% of the population are Medicaid enrollees, and 7% of people live in poverty. Red Wing is located an hour away from both the Twin Cities and Rochester, which poses a barrier for many rural low-income patients seeking free/affordable care or bilingual English/Spanish health care. Our Hispanic Family Therapy program also seeks to meet the specific needs of our Hispanic patients. Mental health has been repeatedly identified as a high priority in Goodhue County needs assessments for decades, and many Hispanic patients face additional linguistic and cultural barriers to accessing effective mental health care. CARE Clinic is also the only dental clinic in a 45-mile radius accepting new publicly insured patients. 93% of patients in 2021 reported that "My health improved as a result of my visit to CARE Clinic," demonstrating the effectiveness and accessibility of our services and model.

In our Southwest Economic Development Area in the same year, 28% of the students enrolled in colleges out-of-state. That is 10 percentage points higher! The recruitment efforts in our neighboring states are working, and we need to implement strategies in order to maintain our future pipeline of workers. We have already seen employers decide to open new locations or move their businesses to South Dakota in part due to this labor shortage. This is absolutely a key barrier and impediment for business retention, investment, expansion, and succession. It is imperative that, as a state, we invest in our future workforce, providing them with opportunities to gain the skills needed to fill the occupations that are in demand. These include many technical degrees in healthcare such as nursing/LPN, medical assistants, and lab technicians, as well as auto and diesel mechanics, machinery maintenance, construction trades, HVAC, and machinists, just to name a few.

As a result of participation in our programs, youth with IDD gain social and leadership skills that lead to their increased sense of self-worth, employability, and independence. Best Buddies has been identified as a Peer-Mediated Instruction & Intervention evidence-based practice that supports inclusion (Steinbrenner et al, 2020). An independent evaluation concluded that adolescents with IDD involved in one-to-one friendships through Best Buddies showed “lower frequencies of peer victimization, better adaptive behavior, higher levels of self-esteem, and fewer psychological symptoms” than those not matched in the program. In addition, the same evaluation concluded that “‘Best Buddy’ relationships were similar to friendships with best friends, with additional levels of support, nurturing and ‘scaffolding’ in skill development” (Prinstein and Aikins, 2005). The Center for Evaluation and Policy at Indiana University cited Best Buddies as an "exemplary model" in promoting non-disabled student interaction with students with disabilities in a 2008 report. Our Minnesota programs will create opportunities for greater access to community-based inclusion, subsequently providing the type of environment that will help a person with IDD develop vital social skills needed for the successful transition of students with IDD into postsecondary education and the workforce."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Minnesota State University, Mankato "In late 2020, Minnesota State University, Mankato (MSU) partnered with Region 9 Development Commission to conduct a market analysis to identify changes associated with industry clusters, employment, demographics, and socioeconomic changes across Minnesota, and to evaluate opportunities for the establishment of a polytechnic institute. The study revealed several shifts and changes within local markets and across the state, including growing industry clusters in health care, social services, trades, medical device manufacturing, and construction. Based on the study, MSU determined a partnership with Saint Paul College would provide benefits to the local community through the continuation of educational advancement and innovation in the local economy through collaborations and by nimbly responding to local industrial and community needs to create deliberate results for growth and development. The partnership would also increase educational accessibility, student success, and affordable, quality STEM education, while engaging and serving the community through learning projects and engagement with industry professionals. The industry connections will provide graduates with a robust network of professionals within their community and within their area of professional focus that encourages students to develop the technical and professional skills necessary to lead successful and rewarding careers in their communities after graduation. Launching MinnPoly with this partnership model (community college, university, industry, and community) benefits the local community by increasing economic development and social-emotional wellbeing by creating long-term local community and professional support networks, providing solutions and opportunities to increase social mobility, narrow the opportunity gap, and increase the responsiveness to workforce development, upskilling, and research and development. MinnPoly will expand upon MSU, Mankato’s Iron Range Engineering/Bell program offered in partnership with Minnesota North, described by an MIT/Olin study as a top 5 emerging world leader in engineering education, that partners with community colleges to deliver a 2+2 engineering degree using industry-sponsored projects instead of traditional classroom learning. Recently, we launched a variation on that program in which students complete a one-semester academy followed by two years in the field working on engineering projects (and earning income) while having their competencies vetted against accreditation outcomes. Such models provide new ways to partner with and break down the artificial barrier between, industry and academia while widening the STEM pipeline to serve the workforce needs of the state and support social mobility. MinnPoly seeks to scale these innovative models to a broader range of polytechnic disciplines, including cybersecurity, data science, medical device technology, automation, controls, process engineering, engineering management, and other high need disciplines for the region. MinnPoly will be housed at St. Paul College and will initially launch with a partnership on that campus to offer a 2+2 engineering program that serves non-traditional students as it seeks to close the opportunity gap. MinnPoly will expand to serve the entire state through its partnership network and serve as a national model for workforce development, high-impact student-focused pedagogy, faculty training, and social mobility."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Southside Harm Reduction Services "In a 2019 report on overdose deaths, the Minnesota Department of Health wrote: "In Minnesota, factors like systemic racism have prevented communities of color...from having equal access to the resources needed to be healthy...Reducing health disparities and overdose deaths within communities of color requires investments in prevention efforts at the individual, family, community, and policy levels." Our project's purpose is to offer overdose and other prevention services at the individual and community levels in order to reduce health disparities experienced by BIPOC PWUD, primarily rates of fatal overdose, infectious disease, stigma, and barriers to healthcare services. We will achieve these goals through naloxone distribution and training, overdose prevention education, and referrals to health-promoting care (which are protective against fatal overdose). We strive to provide warm, effective, and immediate referrals. Because participants trust us, we can connect individuals with these services even when they might otherwise be wary of engaging due to (justified) historical distrust. SHRS was founded in the East Phillips neighborhood of South Minneapolis in 2017. Though we have grown to operate throughout the metro area, we will continue to focus our service provision in East Phillips, a neighborhood with a decades-long legacy of Indigenous rights organizing, as well as a large population of unhoused, Native folks who use drugs. We will continue to work hard to establish trusting relationships through harm reduction philosophy of stigma-reduction, consistent and reliable services, and participant empowerment. Since 2020, SHRS has been the largest syringe service provider in the state, distributing 1.2 million syringes and 15,000 vials of naloxone. While these numbers are impressive, they don't share the relationship-building that is equally important to community health and healing, and that is the cornerstone of this project. We have a deep commitment to fostering a community that keeps itself safe, and we strive to include the people who use the services in the design and implementation of the program. Not only are we working to mitigate the spread of infectious disease and fatal overdose, we work to be an engine for inclusion, building and maintaining connections and community-building in all aspects of our services. Providing a sterile syringe, a smile, or a warm pair of socks without requiring sobriety begins to build community, a powerful protective factor for health among Indigenous people who use drugs. Many participants become engaged in SHRS' work as peer exchanges or volunteers. We also build community through informal weekly gatherings where volunteers and participants pack syringe exchange kits or conduct community clean-ups to dispose of used syringes and other trash. SHRS also serves greater Minnesota by supporting participants to bring overdose prevention and harm reduction supplies to their personal networks outside of urban areas. This is an evidence-based strategy called "secondary exchange" that extends access to people who might not otherwise use our services. Many of our participants travel between Minneapolis and reservations, and we will continue to supply them with supplies and information to distribute to their communities."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Division of Indian Work The American Indian community will benefit by having access to culturally appropriate prevention services that they would not otherwise be able to access at the Division of Indian Work. Traditional teachings will be increased in weekly Women of Traditional Birthing classes, our Ninde Doula Program, and in multiple home visiting programs such as our Family Spirit program. For example, we can teach about medicinal plants and connect clients with ceremony and supports to live a healthy life. We know that incorporating culture with prevention work is what makes a difference in the American Indian community. For example, DIW has been funded for teen pregnancy prevention through an Eliminating Health Disparities Initiative grant from the MN Department of Health for years. We created an American Indian culturally specific curriculum which has been implemented across the state. Since 2007, we have seen a decrease in pregnancy rates in our community. We cannot take sole credit for these decreases, but we know we have had an impact. Additionally, we have years of proven success with our Alcohol, Tobacco, and other Drug Prevention work in our Youth Leadership Development Program. Culture as prevention works.

The teacher's forum guides future teachers with our proven supplemental content and pedagogy. Our mantra is. Wisdom learned is the offspring of an intimate association between a student's intelligence and morals. Having started in the nine-county metro area and growing. Our purpose is to expand statewide. Those who use the teacher's forum reduce education gaps by preparing their students to do more than pass an SAT or ACT. We also address the isolation of how the current curriculum segregates non-white cultures. Teacher candidates we've guided create a more practical career work plan for themselves. They supplement the limited state standards with cultural proficiency from our lesson library, video tutorials, lesson plans, coaching, and evaluation. The teacher's forum shows candidates how the African, Latinx, Asian, white European, and Native American communities have intersected with African America with facts. Future teachers weave the many locations, people, episodes, articles, and media into all subjects. We realize that most Minnesota teachers will remain white and female for the foreseeable future. The racial imbalance adds to the need for culturally supplementing the current curriculum to reflect the growing diversity that is essential. Also, the white millennial student remains attentive to this content and continues to embrace it. As mentioned earlier in this application, the teacher's forum subscription service is an electronic book. Content is updated weekly (sometimes daily) as the world grows and changes. Teacher candidates learn how to integrate everyone's diversity into any lesson without waiting for Gay Pride Month, Indigenous Peoples Day, Black History Month, Cinco de Mayo, etc. The impact of our service is life-changing for a young teacher.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies The Works Museum "The Works Museum serves as a critical component of Minnesota’s STEM education community, supporting students and educators with high-quality learning experiences and preparing today’s children for tomorrow’s high-tech jobs. This project supports both immediate and long-term needs for Minnesota including: Supporting educators in addressing pandemic learning losses and achieving grade-specific student learning outcomes by providing Science Standards-aligned programming that brings engineering concepts to life and enhances student learning; Impacting the STEM opportunity gap by providing subsidized access to under-resourced schools and increasing equity through expanding community-based programs that eliminate barriers to participation; and Working toward our vision of a future STEM workforce representative of our diverse community by reaching more students, especially those from communities underrepresented in STEM, with early engineering experiences that inspire long-term STEM interest and career dreams. All students have the ability to do sophisticated science, but a STEM opportunity gap exists between students attending under-resourced schools and those in more affluent schools. The latter may provide STEM enrichment, after-school programs, and hands-on learning practice with tools and equipment, opportunities many schools cannot provide. Under-resourced schools often have high populations of students from communities underrepresented in STEM, including students from low-income households, students of color, and English-language learners, creating further disparities. Pandemic learning disruptions exacerbated these disparities. In Minnesota’s 2021 testing, only 43% of students met or exceeded science standards, 8% lower than in testing prior to the pandemic. Yet, “while every group of students saw pandemic impacts to their learning, students of color, English-language learners, and students from lower socioeconomic households were most impacted (MPR News, August 2021).”? Educators at under-resourced schools have expressed an urgent need for students to experience the hands-on STEM learning that was difficult to provide during distance learning and the value of our workshops on student learning outcomes. They’ve also shared that budget constraints and bussing costs are barriers to field trips, and that subsidized access and programming brought directly to their school communities is key to ensuring that all students have equal access. While meeting these immediate needs for accessible, equitable elementary engineering programming is critical, this work also addresses Minnesota’s long-term need for an educated STEM workforce. The Works Museum’s programs help to close the gap between workforce need and student interest in Minnesota – projected to experience a shortage of 200,000 STEM employees in the next decade alone – by ensuring that a pathway exists for all elementary-age students to access engineering, technology, and manufacturing careers.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies The Museum of Russian Art "The purpose of this project is to assist school districts in the 5th Congressional District achieve the Minnesota Department of Education’s Early Reading Proficiency – Reading Well by Third Grade mandates. Reading at grade level by the end of Grade 3 is known to be a key marker for future academic success, yet millions of children nationally, and particularly those in urban school districts, do not achieve this goal. Studies have definitively shown that students who are reading at grade level at the end of Grade 3 have a far greater likelihood of graduating from high school and going on to post-secondary education. Not surprisingly, due to the disruption of primary education during the pandemic, the Grade 3 reading proficiency rate has declined, as reported in a recent national study conducted by Acadience Learning Inc. (Gray, J. S., & Powell-Smith, K. A. [2021]. The Impact of COVID-19 on Student Reading Development [Technical Report No. 29]). The study compared the beginning-of-year scores in 2020-2021 to the previous year, 2019-2020, which allowed the researchers to determine the difference in reading skills that students experienced in the beginning of 2020 compared to the beginning of 2019. The study found that of students who were below benchmark proficiency for reading at the middle of Grade 3 in 2019-2020, 36% met the benchmark at the beginning of Grade 4, while only 26% met the benchmark in 2020-2021. According to the Minnesota Department of Education’s Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment (MCA), the percentage of Minnesota students meeting 3rd grade reading benchmarks has declined since 2015. Based on the findings of the Acadience Learning study, it not surprising to learn that the percentage of 3rd grade students in Minnesota meeting the reading standard continued to decline from 2019 to 2021 (there was no assessment test in 2020) in all eleven of the school districts in the 5th Congressional District. The Minnesota state average of 3rd grade reading proficiency for 2021 was a low 48.5%, and seven of the eleven school districts, including Minneapolis, were below that average, with proficiency rates ranging from 17.4% to 45.1%. Additionally, when viewed by racial and ethnic groups in this region, the data indicate that only 25.8% of Black students, 27.5% of Hispanic students, 30.5% of American Indian students, 40.8% of Asian students, and 47.4% of Two or more races students, met the reading proficiency benchmark. Only White (non-Hispanic) students, at 60.8% exceeded the statewide average. Recognizing the importance of this learning issue, TMORA has focused its efforts in the schools on providing programming to enhance third grade literacy. In the increasingly complex and competitive work environment, it is vital to do everything possible for the children of Minnesota, including the 5th Congressional District, to ensure that they achieve this crucial educational marker. By doing so, we will significantly enhance the state’s workforce development, as these students graduate from high school and progress into the post-secondary education necessary for fulfilling careers."

It is entirely free to participants. Nutritious breakfast snacks and lunch are provided to youth who are often from food-insecure families. As each leaves the program, they have new skills and a changed view of the value of education. They have confidence, new friends, a portfolio to present to potential employers, and funds to invest in their future and help their families. For these low-income students, participation in CareerONE can be transformational. For employers, CareerONE can mean higher employee retention rates, seamless transition to the workplace, and increased diversity in the workplace. Youth participation in CareerONE increases their social and emotional skills. They are more confident as they take on tasks at school and move into the labor force. The transition to post-secondary school, apprenticeships, or directly into the workforce happens with assurance with well-defined work goals. Feedback from participants' parents demonstrates the change in their children as they approach the future.–"Eye-opening experience; provided direction and ambition."– Team-building with diverse teams gives participants a new sense of understanding and leadership in the workplace and the community. Teens become culturally competent with the ability to work and respond in a manner that acknowledges and respects individual culturally-based beliefs, attitudes, behaviors, and customs. They will bring these skills to the workplace and community. "Failure to create pathways for young adults to build lives for themselves, their families, and their communities will prolong the economic and social struggles in the U.S. Prioritizing education, civic engagement, and employment will draw new stakeholders into the economy. It will invest in the leaders of the future. Failure to engage youth will not only slow recovery but also undermine stability and prosperity." (Brookings Institute, "Youth or Consequences, Put Youth at the Center of COVID Recovery," 2020.) We have long used the term at-risk for youth facing challenges academically and personally. CareerONE approaches the participants as "at promise," Though they have additional barriers such as poverty, a disability, language barriers and/or are from communities of color, with the guidance of program staff, youth can create a pathway to the future that prepares them for along term success. The most recent data from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development show that St. Cloud has a younger labor force than the state average, with almost 22% under 25 years. (state-14.6%) and a very high labor force participation rate in the entry-level and prime working years. It is also relatively nondiverse, with 88.8% white. CareerONE is an opportunity to change those numbers. Teens in the program moving toward the workforce are exposed to skilled trades that can provide sustainable wages and support families. The racial makeup of the attendees in 2021 was 62% East African/African American, 28% white, 4% Hispanic, 2% Asian, 4% two or more races and 2% Native American.

Many veterans across the country and here in Minnesota are currently in great need as they battle mental health and thoughts of suicide. The U.S Department of Veterans Affairs found in 2019 that the veteran suicide rates in Minnesota were significantly higher than the national general population suicide rate. At that time, the suicide rate for Minnesota veterans was 26.4 compared to 18 for the general population (https://www.mentalhealth.va.gov/docs/data-sheets/2019/2019-State-Data-Sheet-Minnesota-508.pdf). Although there are other programs that exist for veterans, 23V Recon is designed to help those who are looking for, or needing, a different approach. Unlike other programs, it is long-term, utilizes a book-led structure (The 23V Recon Playbook) and was designed to include civilians. This program leaves a positive lasting impact on not only the veteran participant, but also their family, friends and community. 88% of program graduates found it easier to make friends, 84% found it easier to trust others, 97% are happier and 98% are experiencing a higher quality of life after graduating from 23V Recon. A graduate stated they were better off through participation in the program: “I no longer isolate myself the way I used to. It is much easier for me to get along with others and be friendly towards them. Most people who know me from friends to family to co-workers have noticed a difference in my mood and quality of life.

Employers face a steep loss of skilled workers with institutional knowledge due to our aging population, while witnessing a deficit of young people who associate this as “blue color”work. Changing student and parent perceptions about the occupations in demand for our companies to remain globally competitive is a very important aspect of the L&E program. The placements heighten students' awareness of the digital transformation taking place in manufacturing and agribusiness, now relying on computer and technical skills due to automation, AI and robotics. After four years of receiving students in L&E worksite experiences, employers identified the ongoing deficit in the essential skills to be prepared for a job. In November of 2021 MN State College Southeast (Red Wing & Winona) led a Manufacturing Workforce Summit with over 60 regional employers. They asked hard questions about talent pipeline needs. Resoundingly, employers emphasized the need for the following basic skills: New Hires – what skills and competencies are you looking for the first 1 to 3 years? Basic communication Digital competency Data management / needed in SMART Factories Basic OSHA training Basic Reading BluePrints Basic CNC operations Basic understanding of use of gauges Basic soldering Basic leadership with groups Manual Machine Training Basic Interview Skills Our proposed expanded L&E program is addressing the gap - meeting needs that school districts cannot meet while designed to respond to the essential skill shortage employers are facing. Our program has been dedicated to bringing together students of diverse backgrounds from all over the county into cohorts, creating shared experiences and building relationships. As the workforce of the future, they are introduced to the world class companies here. Last year proactive outreach led to the most diverse student enrollment across race, ethnicity and gender. However, retaining those students proved to be a bigger issue. RWI met with many instructors and employer partners to review ways to improve attraction and retention. Everyone agrees that an inclusive approach to attraction should be coupled with a strengths-based approach to support retention. Integrating basic hard skills into the Program experience will assure more students have the life and work ready skills they need to succeed. The pandemic limited students' contact with one another, compounding feelings of distance, dislocation and disconnection. Our existing program helped students stay connected and feel valued. Feeling safe among peers is as important for youth development as being physically safe in a work environment.

According to the 2020 Minnesota Community Measurement (MNCM) 2020 data, the following data exemplifies the need to expand early cancer screening: Breast Cancer The statewide rate of breast cancer screening is 76.5%. Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) breast cancer screening rate is 60%, compared to the screening rate of 78% for Minnesota women insured with other insurance coverage. Lung Cancer Lung Nodule screening for early detection is advised for those 50 year and older whom have used tobacco products. Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) screening rate is 34.5%."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Minneapolis Community & Technical College "Minneapolis College and Metropolitan State University (MC/MSU partnership) will establish an Urban Entrepreneurship Education Center (the Center) in 2023 in the renovated Management Education Center (MEC) building that we share on Minneapolis College’s downtown Minneapolis campus. This project will leverage $18 million in current and anticipated state funding for the design/renovation of MEC, including state-of-the-art space for the Entrepreneurship Center. With funding from a federal CDS appropriation, the MC/MSU partnership will accelerate and expand our vision of the entrepreneurship education and technical assistance the Center will be able to provide to the Minneapolis/St. Paul community. Our new Center will benefit the region by supporting self-employment and small business growth and creating a pathway to and through postsecondary entrepreneurship education for diverse student populations served by our two institutions and our local high school partners. The specific objectives of the center are: To provide a new pipeline to entrepreneurship education for key student populations, including high school students and ex-offenders who are closed out of many other occupations that provide a livable wage.s at partnering local high schools (starting in Fall 2022, Minneapolis College will be offering courses from its Entrepreneurship Certificate to incarcerated individuals at Lino Lakes state prison). It will provide applied experiential learning to help the diverse student populations of Minneapolis College and Metro State become their communities’ small-business leaders of tomorrow. About 70% of Business Management degree students at Minneapolis College are from BIPOC communities. At Metro State College of Management, about 54% students are from BIPOC communities. Students and faculty will partner in applied learning projects to assist family-owned, neighborhood businesses in and around the urban core of Minneapolis/St. Paul in communities such as the North Side and Lake Street areas of Minneapolis and University Avenue in St. Paul. Through these activities, the Center will help the Twin Cities address one of the largest disparities in employment and wealth between white people and BIPOC people of any American major metropolitan area by supporting the economic engine of small, family-owned neighborhood business. As the state looks to the University of Minnesota to support high-growth companies (as some say, the “next” Medtronic or General Mills) throughout the state, the aims of our project will be to serve family-owned, neighborhood businesses in and around the urban core of Minneapolis/St. Paul in communities such as the North Side and Lake Street areas of Minneapolis and University Avenue in St. Paul. To ensure we are responding to the real needs of the community and are bringing local expertise to our endeavor, we will partner with neighborhood non-profit commerce organizations like the Cedar-Riverside Opportunity Center and MPLS Regional Chambers of Commerce (see support letters) to connect business owners to the support services provided by our faculty and students. To ensure we are bringing the best in entrepreneurship education to the Center's work, we will partner with entrepreneurship organizations such as the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship (see letter).

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Restoration for All Inc. "The purpose of the FUSON Project is to fill an ethnic niche among girls of African Ancestry by combating the various barriers that they face in STEM education and careers, achieve economic inclusion as well as gain economic self-sufficiency by leveraging ethnic entrepreneurship and using culturally appropriate strategies. In an increasingly competitive and global economy, the factors that create real barriers to women/girls’ participation in fields that are nontraditional for their gender cannot be ignored. STEM skills play an increasingly important role in the 21st Century economy. However, significant opportunity gaps exist in STEM education and careers for women, especially for women and girls of African Ancestry. Refugees and African Immigrant girls/women remain underrepresented in Nontraditional Occupations for Women in Minnesota. Ensuring that more girls are aware of and supported in STEM education and careers is critical not only for achieving economic equity for girls and their families in Minnesota but also for building a competitive workforce. To adequately open training and career pathways to girls of African Ancestry in STEM, STEM education and career must be more engaging and inclusive by increasing access to STEM learning and role models for them while addressing implicit biases and stereotypes. Similarly, girls of African Ancestry have difficulty in building economic success due to a lack of economic opportunities and not being self-sufficient, REFA found that they need help by looking at their ethnic capitalism referred to as “ethnic entrepreneurship” to fill an ethnic niche. The greatest need for most of them is not capital but training and technical assistance because already they have significant barriers to achieving better educational outcomes, economic inclusion made worse by the disparate economic impacts of COVID-19 due to job loss, reduced work hours, as well as difficulties accessing financial services including social safety nets."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Minnesota Association of Community Mental Health P Over 105,000 public insurance program clients as well as other patients, residents and hospitals and health care systems throughout Minnesota. This investment will greatly improve our ability to provide coordinated, seamless care delivery. Our agencies serves a very vulnerable, high-cost population with many barriers to care. While we provide a full array of services in-house, our clients seek and receive care in many various locations, including hospital emergency care, crisis mental health providers, inpatient treatment, detox and shelters. Currently, all of our electronic health records are separate. It is nearly impossible to set-up consistent, efficient, realistic and uniform workflows for care coordination across all the different providers, clinics and systems. The lack of ability to coordinate services between these providers leads to duplicated efforts, higher cost of care and far less quality for the clients. The ability to have staff log into just one other system in order to do this coordination would save time, money and allow us to respond quickly to our clients when and where they need help. For example, research shows that a massive reduction in readmission to the hospital risk if the client receives an intervention and connection to outpatient care 7 days post-hospitalization. Currently, unless a client calls us, we wouldn’t know if they were hospitalized, or even to communicate to the hospital that our staff are the link to outpatient care. Community Mental Health Programs provide very niche services – e.g. community based case management, residential treatment and housing. We frequently refer clients for medical and other outpatient health services. Finding culturally specific providers can be challenging. This investment will increase the ability to partner and provide coordinated services between us and those providers to ensure the client the best care possible. This platform will allow us to better tier and target intensity of service delivery based on utilization patterns and increase access to care. Mental health care access and needs have grown exponentially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the workforce crisis in the mental health field is putting the entire care system at extreme risk of crumbling. Programs are forced to scale down, close sites or close entirely without the staff or investments needed to provide care. Further, data analytics is fast becoming a critical necessity in delivering health care. Hospital and primary physical care systems have been implementing and using data systems to drive care for a decade. Mental health care as a system is lagging behind in infrastructure and investments into data infrastructure in the same way. As we understand mental health as a critical part of overall health, we need investments in our mental health system to reflect this. Data systems will greatly help with the staffing shortage by streamlining the documentation and fast growing administrative requirements, allowing clinicians to spend their time in direct care with clients. We are asking Congress to be the example of prioritizing investments into our mental health system, leading our local investments to follow. Saint Paul MN $900,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Summit Academy OIC "The purpose of the project centers on a comprehensive workforce development approach that moves youth and low income adults into sustainable wage careers through: 1) A fully-remote Virtual Academy; 2) comprehensive youth-facing STEM programming delivered in partnership with community partners and employers; and 3) Summit’s leading construction programming helping meet commitment to hire minorities for major new facility in South Minneapolis. These initiatives are key because Minnesota is a state with deep social and economic inequities, where the Black poverty rate is 25.4% compared to the white poverty rate of 5.9%. Additionally, amid record low unemployment statewide (2.7%, the lowest in decades), Black unemployment remains at 6.7%. The state additionally has one of the nation's worst education achievement gaps between blacks and whites, ranking last among all fifty states in racial disparities in high school graduation rates. This means youth of color are not prepared for the workforce and are unlikely to be successful economically, perpetuating negative educational and economic disparities. Individuals in the Metro and statewide need to move out of poverty, and, in tandem, businesses do not have the relationships or networks to reach into a growing and diverse worker pipeline. The ongoing demographic shift in Minnesota has opened the door for people of color to join the workforce in living-wage jobs that provide benefits and opportunities for advancement- assuming they are equipped with the marketable skills, knowledge, and social networks that lead to full-time, sustainable-wage employment. To-date, the Black population in the State of Minnesota, are disproportionately employed in front-line, low-wage jobs. With the onset of the pandemic, many of these jobs have disappeared and will not return. Recent unemployment insurance (UI) claimant data (DEED) shows that Black UI claimants represent 10.5% of the jobless population, yet make up only 5.9% of the labor force. Additionally, the poverty rate in Bemidji hovers at 24.5% and is concentrated among Native American communities. While people in rural areas desire quality employment opportunities, they are isolated and disconnected from the economy. Minnesota cannot afford inaction. We are at an opportune time to make history ---- with an ongoing demographic shift driven by Baby Boomers exiting the workforce, an evolving tech economy, and the sea change in racial dialogue spurred by the murder of George Floyd and civil unrest. There is a crucial need for a human capital development strategy that supports efforts beyond ‘soft skills’ delivery, providing real skills that will empower the community economically and socially, ending perpetual concentrations of poverty via bridges to the middle class."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Greater Twin Cities United Way "The nonprofits and government agencies that respond to homelessness in the Greater Twin Cities provide a set of proven services — such as case management, rent assistance, job training and mental health care. These supports are known to help people experiencing homelessness achieve stability and prosperity. Opportunity lies in making these services available to key groups of people we know are at the greatest risk of becoming homeless: youth exiting foster care and adults exiting incarceration. A common experience for these youth and adults is moving from foster care or corrections into precarious housing, without supports to navigate challenges and gain greater independence. Often, they end up on the street and may enter the homelessness response system. Only then, having lost valuable time and experienced the harm of homelessness, do they gain access to proven services. Because those exiting foster care or incarceration are so vastly overrepresented in the homeless population, we know that without concerted, multi-sector, regional-scale change, many of the 9,000 youth and adults who exit these systems each year will become homeless. In addition to human suffering, we can predict further strain on both our homelessness response system — estimated at $30,000 to $50,000 per person per year — and on our region’s educational and economic potential, since a safe, stable home is essential to success in learning and earning. To affirm the need for deep, strategic investment and the potential economic impact if Pathways Home succeeds, we partnered with Wilder Research, which estimated: “Providing stable housing to formerly incarcerated adults experiencing homelessness could generate public savings of $1,040 per person per month. For those who have a long history of alternating homelessness and incarceration, providing stable housing along with supportive services could generate public savings of $15,440 per person per year. … If all Twin Cities youth in foster care were stably housed after they age out of the system, society could save at least $1.2 million per youth"."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies CAPI USA "This Immigrant Opportunity Center (IOC) initiative is critical component in CAPI USA’s mission to guide immigrants and refugees in their journey toward self-determination and social equality. As an immigrant-led organization annually serving 11,000+ Hennepin County residents at locations in Brooklyn Center and South Minneapolis, CAPI was initially founded as the Center for Asian and Pacific Islanders in 1982 to help Southeast Asian refugees resettle following the Vietnam War. In 2008, CAPI changed its name to be more inclusive of all immigrant and U.S.-born populations of color. In the turmoil of recent years, CAPI has increasingly stepped up to take on leadership roles in multi-agency collaboratives and large-scale resettlement initiatives. An example of this includes the Minnesota Department of Human Services asking CAPI to lead in the overall case management of 250 recently-arrived Afghan evacuee families this year. These families are receiving support from CAPI to locate housing, essential/ basic needs, transportation, school and various benefits program enrollments,, and other needs. Assuming project funding, CAPI anticipates that a significant portion of the 200 persons served by this project will be refugee families seeking to take their next step towards building careers and financial stability. As outlined in the Statement of Needs, the multifaceted needs of Minnesota’s immigrant and BIPOC communities too often take a backseat to one-size-fits-all program models and disjointed funding streams. CDS funding of the Immigrant Opportunity Center would provide a rare opportunity to holistically and cohesively address the unique career, financial, and educational needs of 200 immigrant, refugee, or BIPOC individuals - regardless of their English language levels or understanding of Western workplace/ education norms at the time of program enrollment. While building local talent that possesses the foundational skills and industry credentials needed to achieve family-supporting wages, the IOC project would similarly fund the engagement of a broad network of employers in areas of talent shortages. Dedicated resources would be provided for ongoing employer development, cultural education/ advocacy, and hiring events.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Minnesota Humanities Center "In a society aspiring to self-government, there is no more important purpose than to ensure that citizens have the knowledge, skills, disposition, and opportunities to direct and improve the public life they share. Minnesota has historically been considered an exemplar of such “civic muscle” due to its high voter turnout, respected education system, and vibrant voluntary and independent sectors. Minnesota, like the rest of the nation, is becoming increasingly polarized. This polarization makes it difficult to teach our children to become responsible, tolerant, creative, and collaborative citizens. Our schools are ignoring challenging questions or taking partisan sides. In each case, schools are denying students a chance to grow into empowered citizens who acknowledge the messiness and interdependence of public life in a diverse society. MHC’s Third Way Civics initiative will address this problem at the state and local levels in three major ways: First, MHC already works with colleges and universities statewide, helping undergraduates become informed creative citizens, capable of supporting the civic growth and agency of others. Through a primary source-based syllabus conveying the eternally contested character of American democracy, and a “civic musclebuilding” curriculum, students teach one another about the texts they read, then share and compare opinions. We focus on pre-service teachers, who develop the skills to negotiate controversial historical and contemporary issues in a depolarizing manner, while developing pedagogical approaches and resources to help them build such skills in their K12 students. With federal support, we can work with up to ten additional teacher-preparation programs statewide over the next three years (2023-2025). Second, MHC is launching its first civic-learning institute for in-service teachers this summer, in partnership with Minnesota State University-Mankato. We will provide in-service teachers the same rich civic learning experience as our pre-service students, helping them develop units or entire curricula that can provide the same experience for their K12 students. With federal support, we can offer two institutes each summer over the next three years (summer 2023, 2024, and 2025) with stipends and travel reimbursements that will draw between 150 and 200 teachers statewide, impacting the civic learning of thousands of students in just three years. Third, MHC is committed to building statewide capacity to improve the teaching of US history and government to develop students’ capacities and identities as empowered and creative yet interdependent and mutually accountable citizens. Our purpose is to assist each of our higher education partners and as many district partners as possible to develop their own civic-learning institutes for K12 educators. With federal support we can train education professionals to deliver high-quality civic learning to their own K12 students and other professionals, with a goal of co-developing at least two regional institutes yearly. In sum, by equipping young people to acknowledge and navigate diversity in personally empowering and socially productive ways—and empowering statewide and local partners to do the same—MHC and the State of Minnesota can ensure the understanding and practice of self-government in America, as a means of building common goods from disparate parts."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies World Savvy "Minnesota’s foreign-born population is increasing faster than the national average—in Minnesota, it has tripled since 1990, while nationally it only doubled. Since 2000, more than 41,000 refugees have arrived in Minnesota as their first destination in the United States. And Minnesota is the top state for refugees who relocate from another state. Nearly one in six children in Minnesota have at least one immigrant parent. This diversity is mirrored in the schools; In Saint Paul Public Schools, students speak 126 different languages. In Minneapolis Public Schools, students speak over 90 different languages. This demographic shift is a huge opportunity for our state as diversity is linked to economic prosperity, greater scientific prowess, and fairer judicial process. In addition, research shows that being around people different from us makes us more creative, more diligent, and harder-working. At World Savvy, we believe education has transformative power. We look at the K-12 school system as a way to help communities not only embrace change, but also graduate students prepared to be changemakers. The environmental and societal challenges our students will inherit grow greater all the time. From human migration, to climate change, the complex challenges we must address -- in our communities, as a nation, and globally -- require collaboration, critical thinking, compromise, and empathy. Current technology is also shifting the role of educators and schools. Youth growing up today have access to the entirety of human knowledge at their fingertips, receive news in an endless 24-hour cycle, and interact via social media with people and content across the globe. Educators’ work no longer focuses on delivering information, but on preparing students with the skills to successfully navigate and process information. Furthermore, many of the jobs that our students will hold in the future have not yet been invented. Therefore, it is important for educators to teach their students not only to be critical thinkers, but also to be adaptable, resilient, and creative. Future success will come from being able to filter the onslaught of information technology allows, to think deeply about complex problems and design solutions, and to look at issues from multiple perspectives. World Savvy is addressing each of these issues head on in an innovative, evidence-based way. Our programs make teaching and learning real, experiential and relevant for a changing world; as a result, students acquire the kind of knowledge, skills and dispositions that not only improve academic performance, but also prepare them for life in a global society. Our Global Competence Matrix outlines the relevant indicators we measure (https://bit.ly/3lWxXTQ) including: valuing multiple perspectives, comfort with ambiguity, empathy, and collaborative problem solving. According to both the World Bank’s 2019 report on “The Changing Nature of Work” and the World Economic Forum’s 2020 “Future of Jobs” report, it is precisely the skills developed in our programs that will position students for success in our ever-changing global economy. These competencies aren’t just critical for educational and career success, but also for civic engagement and social cohesion in more diverse local communities."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Change Inc. "Access to mental health services is increasingly becoming a basic need, particularly for BIPOC and/or immigrant and refugee families who have experienced trauma. Many of these families are culturally hesitant to access mental health services, or do not have access to services in their preferred language. As our staff have reached out to families in culturally appropriate ways, we have found that many BIPOC families are amenable to mental health services once they have formed a relationship with a community leader or therapist. As Minnesota continues to be a welcoming and central state for families seeking resettlement, it is critical that we offer all the support we can to strengthen all communities. One way Change Inc. contributes to that is to work towards providing all youth and families with access to mental health services. Change Inc. has been on the forefront of developing and implementing school-based mental health (SBMH) services in Minnesota. In 2021-22, we provided services to 791 unduplicated students and their families, We have provided SBMH services for more than 27 years at GAP School and more than 15 years in various Minneapolis and Saint Paul Public Schools. While this has been primarily focused on the Twin Cities metropolitan region, we are working to expand the geographic area and connect with other organizations across Minnesota to share the lessons we have learned. Leading the development of the school-based mental health model in Minnesota has been an increasing focus for the organization, as we believe this is one of the best ways to address disparities in educational/career attainment and social-emotional health for underserved children and youth. Creating a local outpatient clinic in Saint Paul’s West Side neighborhood is a cornerstone of this effort. Overall, through our work within the various communities we serve, we hope to address the social determinants of health that contribute to BIPOC families being overly represented within the health system. The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services outlines five major domains of social determinants of health: economic stability, education access and quality, health care access and quality, neighborhood and build environment, and social and community context. These five areas encompass a wide variety of measurements for community health, and all are areas Change Inc. works to address. On the West Side of Saint Paul, we have developed an adaptable community hub that caters to evolving needs in the neighborhood and surrounding region. Through an inherently relational approach, participants and their families know that staff will meet them where they are in life and provide any necessary supports. We believe the best way to address social determinants of health is to stay nimble, listen directly to families, and build unique programs around their strengths and preferences. Our outpatient mental health clinic will better enable us to do that." Saint Paul MN $245,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Perspectives Inc. "Seed the Change Campaign was not only a result of our Board’s spirit of social entrepreneurship, it also is the result of 45 years of the involvement of thousands of community volunteers, hundreds of community partners, a solid funding base, and visionary leadership. Throughout Perspectives’ history, we have both advocated and provided comprehensive programming to our population of focus, acknowledging early on that they have suffered from institutional obstacles to life-changing opportunities. Over the decades, we have developed and strengthened our programming to remove barriers to recovery services, including nutrition, education, mental and chemical health services, parenting skills, housing, legal services, and transportation. Our new Family Center will ensure that these comprehensive services will continue for decades to come – services that build a pathway for a more promising tomorrow. Our project goals: Return our mothers and their children emerging from homelessness and addiction back to the economic and social mainstream. • Increase access to trauma-informed substance and mental health services for our mothers and children through the implementation of on-site services. • Provide Early Childhood Development Programming for our children emerging from shelter and trauma. • Provide programming to ensure our pregnant- women have all the resources needed to ensure a healthy baby. • Remove barriers to underserved children and youth by providing academic, nutritional, and mental health programming using a trauma-informed social and emotional-based curriculum. • Provide the needed services for the reunification of mother and child. There are over 200 low-income families moving into new affordable housing within St. Louis Park over the next three years and Perspectives Family Center is the center of these new projects.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Somali Kulan Community/Rochester International You We primarily serve Rochester area underrepresented students. This includes youth with disabilities and youth from low income families and/or historically marginalized backgrounds. The main purpose of this project is to decrease the health and educational disparities that exist for youth from underrepresented backgrounds through the implementation of direct student and family services. Our aim is to actively listen to the concerns of the youth we serve in our after-school programs, identify the current barriers they face in reaching their full potential, and establish & partner with the exact community programs they need to make their health and educational dreams come true. RIYO/Somali Kulan aims to help youth navigate opportunities for advancement in academia and healthcare fields. Another purpose of this project is to bridge the gap between our youth's aspirations and the reality of the lack of representation, clear guidelines, and individualized support services. Our hope is to expand our current program to 300 students because the need is there (we have a long waiting list), however we do not have the appropriate funding to support this amount of students and hope that this opportunity can help us make our goal a reality. These goals are important to the Minnesota community because by investing in our youth and their educational/health aspirations, we are directly cultivating a healthier future for our community today and in the next generations. Educated and healthy individuals are often empowered individuals who can make well-informed decisions on their own behalf and the behalf of their community so, by directly providing youth the support services they need we are improving the quality of life of our community members. By supporting the families and parents of the youth we serve and advocating for their needs, RIYO/Somali Kulan is also aiding Minnesotan families directly which is an utmost honor. In summary, all of our active intervention programs are aimed at helping improve the physical & mental health, educational aspiration & attainment, social health, self-efficacy, and learning environment of Minnesota youth and families.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Minnesota State University, Mankato "The purpose or mission of the Center for Rural Behavioral Health (CRBH) is to improve access to behavioral healthcare for residents in outstate Minnesota to include recognized Reservations through research, workforce development, continuing education and customized training. Within the purpose of increasing access, a focus of the CRBH is on ensuring access to a culturally representative behavioral health workforce is in place. Over 90% of the mental health professionals in Minnesota are white (MN Dept. of Health), which isn't reflective of the Minnesotans needing mental health supports. With over half of the current behavioral health workforce set to retire in the next 10 years, it is imperative that a focused plan for developing the next generation of mental health professionals is in place. Through research and workforce development the CRBH intends to increase the number of students interested in behavioral health careers to ensure the pipeline of professionals can match and exceed those leaving the field. Additionally, the CRBH will focus on providing support through customized training and continuing education for those professionals who currently practice in outstate Minnesota. Bottom line, we need to develop more mental health professionals while sustaining and retaining those who are already trained. The importance of having a robust mental healthcare system in place cannot be understated. Minnesotans are hurting. Minnesotans are dying. The psychological consequences of COVID-19 will far outlast the physical ones. These issues won't resolve themselves. We are finally breaking through the stigma associated with mental health and talking about it. However, if we encourage people that it's ok to get help, we have to be sure help is accessible no matter where they call home. While the Center's physical location is in southern Minnesota, the impact of its work will reach all four corners and every county in the state. Beyond Minnesota, the goal of the CRBH is to develop a program that can be replicated in every state. " Mankato MN $1,500,000 Website Letter

In FY21 our program was primarily composed of people of color (81%) with African Americans as the largest group served (55%). Our current programs are mainly accessed by women (66%), many of whom are parents. Individuals in our program are low-income individuals, serving those with the most barriers to financial independence. As we successfully continue to serve nearly 1600 individuals in our 7-county metro, our vision is to scale into all regions with quality career-training options to enhance employment throughout the State of Minnesota. Our request is to continue to innovate Workforce Development with a quality digital model through innovation and improvement funds. We envision this investment will provide additional training resources for direct participant impact and successful job outcomes, as well as assure our programs are agile to scale and grow throughout the State. Provide an additional 24 hours of technical training support for career readiness programs Increase inventory and access to technology through equipment such as Chrome Books and hotspots for the inventory library, as well as additional equipment to support hybrid learning classrooms Innovative within the Learning Management System to add journey boards, gamification and avatars for elevated learning experiences Innovate by adding an interactive software function within the Learning Management System allowing instructors, staff, and coaches to engage with participants in a flex-mobile model Enhance curriculum content with more variety of career lessons, dedicated workplace skills, and job readiness Additional interactive lessons and guided tracks within our proprietary mobile app (L.I.V.E 24/7) focused on career retention on the job Twin Cities RISE was a pioneer to be one of the first to fully launch an entire program in a virtual space. With two-years of proven success, we believe scaling throughout the State of Minnesota is very achievable in the near future. This expansion will provide a high Social Return On Investment monetary value for the state, as well as our greater community, through increased tax receipts on earned income; reduced use of government support; and measurably reduced criminal justice costs. The Ecotone Analytics report illustrated the profound social benefits that come from Twin Cites R!SE's work with those who are hardest to employ. Twin Cities R!SE engages intentionally and systematically with our participants in addressing and mitigating their specific barriers to employment, and more importantly, retention. Some notable outcomes from that report prepared by Ecotone Analytics include:? Those with a criminal history who participate in the program are 4.5 times more likely to receive Full-Time Employment compared to individuals with a criminal history who do not participate in our programming Participants who achieve Full-Time Placement demonstrated a SROI of $7.48 for every $1 spent?

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Minnesota Center for Rural Policy & Development "It is well known that one of the main underlying barriers for rural EMS to take the next step from being a transportation service to a healthcare provider is the broken financial model on which they rely. It’s expected that these agencies be prepared and ready to serve 24/7 yet rely on the income earned for services provided. In our rural areas, the call volumes are too low, forcing many to be completely reliant on volunteers to manage and staff the operations. 63% of agencies outside of the seven-county metro feel that it’s always difficult to recruit new staff or volunteers. As Minnesota begins serious discussion on how to support these agencies so that they can better serve their communities, CRPD proposes conducting research to help outline some primary topics for policy creation and implementation. There are significant disparities in the response time and services provided between rural and metro EMS. Only 27% of agencies outside of the seven-county metro offer advanced life support. This also mirrors very different situations in which EMS agencies are dealing. Rural EMS typically have larger geographic areas to cover, rely more on volunteers, have less revenue to purchase equipment and pay staff, and more likely to offer basic life support rather than advanced life support services. Only 27% of agencies outside of the seven-county metro offer advanced life support. And this is only concentrated in the service areas that serve more than 10,000 people. As Minnesota begins conversations around creating formal performance metrics, what should the expectations be for EMS services provided in a rural area? How might performance metrics be applied to different geographic areas and situations so as not to penalize but rather inform and identify areas needing support? In our analysis of the MN Department of Health 2016 Rural EMS Sustainability Survey, we found that some of the most severe challenges in staff/volunteer recruitment and retention was not in our smallest agencies, but rather moderate sized. For example, when asked to choose what barriers they felt existed in recruiting new volunteers, the options “lack of available time for volunteers”, “inadequate pay”, and “too much time commitment” had significantly higher percentage of agencies from populations between 2,500 – 10,000 compare to our smallest agencies (serving less than 2,500). What this points out is that it’s not necessarily our smallest and most rural EMS agencies that are having the hardest time. But rather, the intersection of policies, financial structure, and call volume make it so that volunteer recruitment and retention are significantly harder. Essentially, the call volumes are high enough to keep people from wanting to volunteer because it’s too much time but the call volumes are not high enough to provide revenues so that the agency can hire full-time staff. Identifying this threshold could help policy-makers build a support model that doesn’t necessarily just rely on how small or rural an agency is but rather where the most need is.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Dakota Child and Family Clinic "In 2012, Dakota Child and Family Clinic transitioned into a nonprofit clinic in place of Eagan Child and Family Clinic. In the past 3 years alone, our clinic has had over 5,000 patients utilizing our primary care services. As this number continues to grow along with the increased desire for mental health services, we are quickly running out of space in our original clinic. DCFC is important to the community given that we charge for services based on a sliding fee scale and covers households who are at or below 250% of the current Federal Poverty guidelines. Current statistics show percentages of the population that fall under 200% of the Federal Poverty guidelines: 17% of residents in Dakota County and 23% of residents in Hennepin County (MNCompass.org). These statistics still leave out a large portion of the population who are eligible for our services and those who reside in other areas of the state. While DCFC sees patients who reside all over in Minnesota, the majority of our patients reside in Dakota County (55%) and Hennepin County (25%). Within these counties, 9.5% of residents under the age of 65 do not have any form of health insurance (MNCompass.org). This does not include individuals and families who are underinsured. This also fails to factor in the lack of coverage for mental health services within many health insurance plans. Offering free or low-cost mental health services is often the only way that our patients would have access to these services. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an egregious impact on the mental health of our community. At the beginning of the pandemic, DCFC saw the need for barrier free testing in our community. Within two weeks, we were able to prepare and execute a plan for a testing site. From then, we administered over 10,000 tests. This provided an opportunity to not only tend to the current needs of our community, but also further understand the impact that a positive test had on an individual or family. We saw a greater need for mental health support and were able to hire a therapist to meet a few times a month with patients who had been impacted by COVID. We quickly realized that the need for support greatly outweighed the capacity of our therapist, resulting in the hire of our second therapist. It was not only COVID positive patients that expressed the need for more mental health support, but a large portion of our community who were dealing with the impact of quarantine and isolation. Whether COVID-related or not, over 50% of youth and adults with major depression are not receiving any form of treatment (Mental Health America, https://www.mhanational.org/issues/2021/ranking-states).

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies M Health Fairview "Minnesota has a shortage of mental health and behavioral health care professionals that is leading to care gaps across the state. In 2017, nearly 25 percent of people with serious psychological distress had an unmet need of mental health treatment and Minnesota had a higher rate of hospitalizations due to mental illnesses than the national average. One study found that for every 100 Minnesota patients with a serious mental illness, 54 were hospitalized. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated mental health access issues. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), individuals reporting mental illnesses and serious suicidal thoughts have nearly doubled during COVID-19. The Minnesota Department of Health recently announced that 723 Minnesotans died by suicide in 2020. The Transition Clinic was established in recognition of the growing demand for mental and behavioral health services. The Transition Clinic fills a care gap in Minnesota by ensuring patients can receive the care they need immediately after an inpatient or emergency department discharge until they are safely in a treatment program. The Transition Clinic will help improve access to mental health and substance use disorder services across the state and support vulnerable populations, including low-income and homeless individuals. In Minnesota, some individuals must wait days or weeks before they can access a treatment program after they are discharged from an emergency department or hospital stay due to mental illness or substance abuse. This hand off to a stepped down level of care often is not immediate. For example, patients who arrive at the emergency department with depression and thoughts of suicide may need to wait three or four days for follow-up care after their first visit. Patients may be discharged from the hospital with a new medication, but the appointment with their psychiatrist could be weeks away. Patients may not follow-up with this next level of care. During this waiting period, patients are at increased risk of being hospitalized, missing follow-up appointments, or stopping their medication altogether. This often results in readmissions to the hospital or emergency department, which could have been avoided. At the Transition Clinic, Fairview provides same-day access to mental health and addiction care for patients waiting to commence a stepped down level of care after a hospitalization or emergency department visit. Patients can receive in-person or virtual care from highly trained mental health care providers, including psychiatrists and APRNs. The Transition Clinic can also connect a patient with a peer-support specialist. The Transition Clinic also assists with addressing social determinants of health. Social factors can have a serious effect on an individual’s overall health. We collaborate with our community partners to help patients access critical services to address social determinant of health including housing, food, and vocational support. At the Transition Clinic, case managers from these community organizations are available to provide assistance to patients. We believe the $1,000,000 request is a prudent investment of taxpayer funds as it will help support the Transition Clinic’s efforts to improve access to care for all Minnesotans.

As a community mental health center, the organization enhances the quality of life for individuals through its integrated mental-chemical-medical programs. The programs and services we provide all have the same goal – helping people with a mental illness, substance use disorder and/or medical condition to lead more healthy, productive and self-sufficient lives. Programs are based around the organization's mission of "promoting healthy minds, bodies and communities with a person-centered, integrated approach." We focus these programs on under and un-served populations to meet the growing needs of the communities and individuals we serve, with low-income, Medicaid and Medicare eligible and public assistance populations forming the overwhelming majority of the patient base. Currently, more than 80% of clients utilize government subsidized funding or sliding-fee scale to reimburse Zumbro Valley Health Center for services provided. Zumbro Valley Health Center is certified as a health care home (the first of its kind for a mental health facility in the state of Minnesota), a behavioral health home and is one of the original six organizations across the state to be certified for the state’s Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) initiative. This model of care of care requires integration of services to address the complex, overlapping needs of the state’s under served populations that constitute the majority of the people served by staff. Zumbro Valley Health Center continues to collaborate with others at both the state and local level to improve the care delivery process and enhance current practices that increase access for those diagnosed with complex and/or co-morbid conditions. The CCBHC is an integration model and is key to providing the right services at the right time. The project will serve the Minnesota & local communities by giving the direct access individuals requiring 24/7 monitoring need. Once they have successfully completed the IRTS 90 day program, they will then have a warm handoff to our outpatient programs that supports their goal at being self-sufficient long term. This project gains the ability to provide the access needed and also provides a higher quality of care with the additional group rooms for treatment services. Renovating the two double rooms into four individual rooms will allow us to serve 2 more clients per day vs our current capacity based on the higher acuity of symptoms and co-morbid diagnosis of clients that we serve. Due to referrals coming from across MN, long term client stability and wellness would impact all communities involved, as 6-month client follow ups have shown a 65% decrease in ER visits and hospitalizations. In addition, clients that maintain mental health stability as a result of the IRTS program, have a lower likely hood of re-incarceration, which assists in managing the number of individuals that are currently overcrowding local jails and prisons.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Concordia College "The purpose of this project is to serve the educational and healthcare needs of Northwestern Minnesota through innovative education related to workforce development for nursing, education, and behavioral health. Concordia is a predominately undergraduate co-educational, private liberal arts institution with a growing number of graduate and certificate programs. Our 2,000 students are primarily from rural communities (74%). Concordia’s 8,000 alumni in the Red River Basin influence the entire region, providing graduates ready to serve as leaders for its hospitals, nursing homes, courtrooms, classrooms, businesses, churches, farms and in many sectors of public service. Healthcare provider/Nursing shortage Recent data from a Minnesota Health Department report illustrate the current and future need for quality healthcare workers across the state, with special concern for rural communities such as ours. The alarming finding that 1/5 of rural healthcare providers intend to leave their careers in the next half decade requires action. Based on this rapidly expanding demand for nurses, Concordia has restructured the Accelerated Nursing program from 18 months down to 12 months, ensuring a quick entry into the healthcare workforce, with the same high-quality instruction. The course of study focuses entirely on the classes and lab work required by the BSN degree. Graduates take the same National Council Licensure Exam required of all prospective registered nurses and Concordia students have an exceptional pass rate of 97%, which is unheard of in other programs. Teacher shortage According to the most recent report (using pre-pandemic data) by the Minnesota Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board (PELSB), 70% of school districts report challenges related to teacher shortages. Although the decrease is across the state, rural school districts indicate a greater difficulty in hiring. COVID-19 challenges have exacerbated the shortage with school districts operating with open positions and a lack of substitute teachers. The state has designated areas of need including STEM and world languages. Concordia is in the unique position to offer licensure in Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Arabic, Hmong, Somali, and Karen and is the first institution in Minnesota to provide a licensure for Karen, a language spoken by people in the regions of Burma and Thailand and by many new immigrants to Minnesota. The College is one of only two Minnesota institutions providing a program for Hmong and Somali, areas of specific need mentioned in PELSB’s report. The master’s program will also provide opportunities for students to complete coursework for licensure in Chemistry, Life Science and Math. Mental health needs The already high demand for mental health services increased during the pandemic and has overwhelmed behavioral health services providers. A rural provider of substance abuse services recently spoke on campus and indicated they had a long wait list for their services even though their facility was at half capacity due to a lack of qualified providers. According to the federal Health Professional Shortage Area report, all counties in our region of Minnesota are designated as lacking adequate mental health services for our population.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies St. David’s Center for Child & Family Development "For the children and families who critically need access to early assessment and evaluation, children’s mental health services, and early intervention, we are committed to providing a range of in-person and telehealth services that can result in a consistent return on investment of up to $17 for every dollar invested. Without early assessment and intervention, mental health needs that could have been addressed and potentially resolved often snowball into chronic, persistent mental illness, addiction, and maladaptive behavior, translating into additional costs on already overburdened educational, justice, and health care systems. The purpose of this project is evident in our goals: --To serve more children and families by optimizing staff time through improved system efficiency: St. David’s Center will reach more children and families in 2023 than we did in 2021, with a 30% reduction in staff time dedicated to documentation and other workflow inefficiency. --To more effectively engage parents and caregivers through IT-based strategies before, during and after treatment: The population we serve, given their past experiences and at time distrust in larger systems, requires creative engagement strategies. --To improve job satisfaction and retention in our mental health and early intervention staff: It is critical to our current goals and anticipated expansion that we not only retain and invest well in current staff but that we are an employer of choice for prospective candidates in the mental health field. Systems efficiency and access to professional development are key. --To increase accuracy, improve data management, and more effectively use data to drive decision-making and strategy: Transitioning from manual data entry, documentation, and reporting procedures to automated, integrated systems is key to having data readily available and ultimately optimal business practices and performance. --To improve physical plant and network security: Safety on our sites and within our network is critical to customer experience, service continuity, staff retention, and organizational performance. --To improve business performance, sustainability, and continuity: With improved efficiencies, better data, better staff productivity, satisfaction, and retention, and increased children and families served, St. David’s Center will continue to be an asset to Minnesota for decades to come. These IT infrastructure solutions are critical to our ability to meet more of the increasing demand for children’s mental health services, including early identification of concerns and early intervention. Though there are countless new for-profit telehealth-based mental health companies in the market, nonprofit, community-based mental health agencies like St. David’s Center are invaluable in meeting the complex needs of our community’s most vulnerable children and families – children with histories of abuse and neglect, children whose parents have their own mental health and addiction histories, children whose families face barriers to successfully engaging in mainstream health and mental health care. The purpose of this project is to equip St. David’s Center with the IT infrastructure to reach more children and families and fundamentally change the trajectories of hundreds more children in 2023 than we served in 2021.

Programs have become a stable, reliable resource for hope, healing and transformation in the Twin Cities. According to the 2020 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Point-In-Time Count, on a single night in January 2020 there were 3,049 people experiencing homelessness. Likewise, approximately 17% of individuals experiencing homelessness in the U.S. report chronic substance use. We provide housing and supportive services to men and women living with addiction and chronic chemical dependency, withdrawal management to men, women and adolescents over the age of 13 who are experiencing intoxication and/or withdrawal; and shelter for individuals and families experiencing intimate partner abuse as well as safety planning, emotional support and legal advocacy to families impacted by domestic violence. Services are available to participants regardless of ability to pay. In 2021, Missions Inc. served over 2500 clients. The renovation of Mission Lodge to replace congregate living with individual resident spaces mitigates stress and anxiety that leads residents to early departures from the program. The congregate living arrangement of Mission Lodge complicates the acclimation period for a new resident who is entering the program from homelessness. Residents report that the noise and limited privacy associated with congregate living are not suitable for the extreme levels of fatigue and heightened stress and anxiety that homelessness caused them. Quick departure from the program disallows for the immersive healing experience that people in recovery require and negatively impacts the broader community. Our 2020-2021 departure reports show that 58% of departing Mission Lodge residents exit back to homelessness, hospitals, or other Hennepin County funded acute service programs. We follow all the key points of the Minnesota Model which have allowed so many individuals to remain free from addiction and reclaim their lives. By providing a safe environment for recovery, supportive community and access to resources, the program also addresses many of the social determinants of health (SDOH) central to Healthy People 2030, in which the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services sets data-driven national objectives to improve health and well-being over the next decade. Reducing drug and alcohol addiction is a goal of Healthy People 2030, and “Neighborhood and built environment” is a key domain of SDOH. Our programs remain a critical resource to communities of color because of the disproportionate barriers to health and wellness these populations face. We primarily serve low income participants from Hennepin, and of these, a disproportionate percentage are from communities of color. In Hennepin County, according to the most recent American Community Survey data, 15% of residents identify as Black/African American and 1% American Indian or Alaskan Native. And yet in 2021, 23% of the people we served were Black/African American above identified as Black/African American; and 3% identified as American Indian or Alaskan Native. Just 56% identified as White, compared to 74% in Hennepin County. Structural racism has a deep impact on poverty, adverse childhood experiences, intergenerational trauma, and intergenerational substance use, and is now recognized as a public health as well as a social justice issue."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies South Central College "Dental careers are in high demand and offer Minnesotans the opportunity to support their family by earning a livable wage. In Region 9, the current median salary for Dental Assistants is $48,000. In addition, occupational (OID) data from the MN Department of Employment and Economic Development shows 7.2% growth and 6,657 openings for Dental Assistants in the next 10-years. As attested by our letters of support, dental professionals are already feeling this crunch and there are numerous offices across the State and our community hiring for these occupations. SCC’s Dental Assisting program currently shares a clinic/lab space off-site. Multiple programs (Dental Assisting, Dental Hygiene, and Advanced Dental Therapy) use this lab. As demonstrated above, demand for these occupations are at an all-time high. With programs already at full capacity, educational partners are faced with the challenge of how to expand these programs and offer flexible scheduling for students with limited space. Dental care is an important part of an individual’s overall health and well-being. Poor oral hygiene can greatly affect one’s quality of life, and if left untreated, certain dental diseases, for example a tooth infection, can spread and affect other areas of your body. For this reason, access to dental care and early prevention are key. The local community would have access to SCC’s Dental Clinic. They would be able to schedule appointments to have polishes, fluoride, sealants, and X-rays done, with a future goal of expanding to fillings. The College would also be able to hire a DDS on staff and offer restorative services, with SCC students assisting. SCC’s Dental Clinic will be able to offer dental exams and create treatment plans for patients who come in for services. The Clinic will be able to take medical assistance and state insurances that most area dental offices do not, as well as offer discount pricing for dental services. At this time, there are only two dental clinics in Mankato that do this and one of them is not currently accepting new patients. A new clinic could open up the doors to those patients that cannot get services. A Dental Clinic on SCC’s campus will also allow the College to expand offerings to incumbent workers and Clinics themselves. For example, Allied Dental Clinical Sedation certification courses could be done onsite in a state-of-the-art lab. Access to such courses will positively impact the quality of care providers are able to offer the community." North Mankato MN $1,121,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Hennepin Technical College "According to DEED Labor Market Information, the Occupational Employment Statistics shows that this industry will continue to see substantial growth and high wages for employees. Data also shows that the industry is in high need of skilled workers to fill open positions. As technologies continue to advance, industry demand will continue to grow. The ARET program expansion will help HTC to work closely with industry to meet their workforce demands, but it requires substantial investment in the equipment required for training. 2018-2028 Labor Market Data: According to the Minneota Department of Employment and Economic Development, the number of jobs, job growth and wages are all increasing in this industry across Minnesota. Examples of career fields ARET program graduates are employed in are below. 2018 Estimated Employment | 2028 Estimated Employment (percent change) | Median Hourly Wage | 2018-2028 Labor Market Total Openings Industrial Machinery Mechanics: 6,824 | 7,263 (6.4%) | $28.03 | 6,893 Mechanical Engineering Technicians: 1,394 |1,430 (2.6%) | $30.44 | 1,412 Industrial Engineering Technicians: 3,388 | 3,465 (2.3%) | $27.35 | 3,416 Electrical/Electronics Repairers – Commercial and Industrial: 1,259 |1,286 (2.1%) | $32.71 | 1,134 Electro-Mechanical & Mechatronics Technicians: 528 |540 (2.3%) | $26.89 | 533 HTC enrolls approximately 7,000 students annually: 40% are part-time students, 45% identify as students of color, 62% are from underrepresented communities, 25% are the first in their family to attend college. The HTC student demographics are similar to that the residents in Brooklyn Park, which is home to 51% people of color and 28% people who speak a language other than English in their home. According to the “Brooklyn Park is Business Forward” publication, Brooklyn Park is a hub for high tech manufacturing. 23% of employment in Brooklyn Park is in the manufacturing sector. There are 150 manufacturing businesses located immediately in Brooklyn Park, and state partnerships have allowed for the development of over 400 jobs at manufacturing businesses since 2016. The recent coronavirus pandemic caused people to lose their jobs and heightened financial insecurity for many and our communities are now eagerly seeking an affordable education in highly skilled careers fields with growing demand and high wages. Unemployment in Brooklyn Park is currently 4% and of those who are unemployed, 11.3% have attained a high school diploma but have not attended college. Currently, 43% of students in the ARET program reside in the northern metropolitan area and commute to HTC’s Eden Prairie campus for school, which speaks to the high student demand for this program. Eliminating the need to commute to school will alleviate a number of barriers to student success, leading to an increased enrollment of students into the industry, improved graduation rates, a decrease in the shortage of skills technicians in industry. These impacts positive impacts in our local community also significantly improve the economic vitality of Minnesota." Brooklyn Park MN $2,422,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies The Zero Abuse Project The Zero Abuse Project and the CAST program have their roots in Minnesota. The Zero Abuse Project was founded by Jeff Anderson – whose firm is headquartered in St. Paul – a pioneer litigator in child sex abuse cases, including a case against the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. CAST began in 2004 as a collaboration between the National Child Protection Training Center (NCPTC) and Winona State University (WSU) faculty. To improve preparedness for child-serving occupations in postsecondary education, WSU and NCPTC developed the introductory three-course CAST curriculum designed around evidence-based practices in child protection and multi-disciplinary teamwork modeling. CAST programs are also in place at the Mitchell-Hamline School of Law and St. Catherine University in St. Paul. The Zero Abuse Project also operates the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center in St. Paul, which was founded by the parents of Jacob Wetterling, a Minnesota child kidnapped from his hometown of St. Joseph and murdered at the age of 11 in 1989. The Zero Abuse Project also developed, and provides ongoing training in, the ChildFirst Forensic Interview Protocol, which has been adopted by 21 states, including Minnesota, to help secure justice for victims of child abuse. This funding will help us support and grow the three existing CAST programs in Minnesota and to disseminate the model to other colleges, universities and graduate programs in the state and across the country. For instance, the current director of the Minnesota Children's Alliance is a former CAST professor who is interested in connecting Child Advocacy Centers (CACs) with various universities to assist in developing and teaching CAST students and providing internship opportunities.

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Southeastern Minnesota League of Municipalities "Southern MN needs water/wastewater operator training at Riverland Community College, centered in Albert Lea. Many water and wastewater operators in CD1 will retire within five years, and there is already a shortage of operators here. Training programs at this time are a significant distance from our region, requiring extra travel time and cost, lodging costs, extra meal costs, and local facility coverage expenses for cities. Operators have difficulty getting much time away for training due to their responsibilities for managing technical water/wastewater facilities, sometimes as sole operators. Some operators in smaller cities have second jobs making it difficult to be gone. Most have family responsibilities that make it very difficult to be gone. Some very small cities have one person as both water AND wastewater operator, making it extremely challenging and costly. By minimizing travel time, more people can attend to upgrade their licenses, or become new operators. With less travel-related expenses, cities can afford more training for current operators and other staff or interns looking to begin careers as operators. Creating these training programs requires developing full curriculums for two separate programs, one for water and another for wastewater, hiring instructors, connecting with area workforce centers, creating internship programs with area cities, and promoting the program with prospective students, area cities, workforce centers, and current and future operators. Clean water makes this request a necessity for southern MN. We need local training in CD1, because when people train here, they stay here, and we desperately need more operators here."

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies United Way of Central Minnesota For families struggling to get ahead financially, child care can create a barrier that is impossible to remove. When families are living in poverty, they qualify for county and federal assistance with child care. There are scholarships and families can apply for assistance. But what happens when families are working their way out of poverty, but are still struggling to get by? What happens when one emergency occurs and they find themselves temporarily unable to pay for child care? In our Central Minnesota service area (Stearns, Benton, parts of Sherburne & Wright Counties) we have a child care deficit of over 5000 child care slots. The scarcity of supply makes obtaining and maintaining child care a consuming priority for many families that will fall into poverty without access and assistance. For the past year, the Central Minnesota Community Child Care Response Fund has worked to provide gap/subsidy funding for families to acquire or maintain quality child care, on a short term basis, allowing them to focus on stability and getting back to and staying employed as opposed to added stress and barriers to stability. This funding also benefits the children as they thrive with stability and are able to regulate and feel safe in an environment and setting that they are secure in. These funds are being stretched thin as we approach a time where they may no longer be available to families in short term need. Saint Cloud MN $200,000 Website Letter
Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Missions Inc. Programs Stratis Health and the Minnesota Network of Hospice and Palliative Care (MNHPC), with the support of many stakeholders, launched the Minnesota Serious Illness Action Network (SIAN) in June 2020 to address urgent care and community needs for those with serious illness. During the first two years, the SIAN convened three virtual forums. More than 150 participants attended each forum, representing clinicians, health care organizations, payers, policymakers, state agencies, researchers, caregivers, and patient and family advocates. The first forum (August 2020) enabled participants to share new and emerging practices, tools, and resources relevant to the needs in serious illness care related to the COVID-19 pandemic and to identify strategies that capitalized on the lessons learned during the pandemic to improve serious illness care going forward. The second forum (August 2021) focused on payment and policy changes needed to create sustainable care and services for those with serious illness. Their third forum (November 2021) focused on caregiving for those with serious illness, organized around the RAISE (Recognize, Assist, Include, Support and Engage) Family Caregiving Advisory Council recommendations submitted to Congress just two months prior to the forum. Stratis Health is seeking CDS funds to continue the SIAN in federal Fiscal Year 2023 to move the actions forward that were recommended in the three forums. Funds will be used primarily for Stratis Health and MNHPC staff time to advance SIAN recommendations from prior forums. We will engage stakeholders, facilitate the two convenings of the SIAN, and develop a pilot to test proposed strategies. Bloomington MN $265,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Minnesota Alliance With Youth "Promise Fellows engage students in school and learning by using an Early Warning System to identify youth who need support and then provide individual interventions to build academic and social skills. Students are selected for support by using the early warning signs of school disengagement: low school attendance (< 90%), low work completion (< 60%), or low reported engagement (following teacher referral and score on the Student Engagement Instrument, described in detail later). Promise Fellows each work with a caseload of 30 students for a minimum of 90 days, providing support and interventions in three areas; caring adults, high quality out of school time supports, and service and service learning opportunities (research-based activities informed by the Everyone Graduates Center at Johns Hopkins University and backed by evidence from the National Dropout Prevention Centers' Effective Strategies for reducing school dropout). The Alliance has been hosting AmeriCorps Promise Fellows for over two decades. Since 1999, over 1,600 individuals have served as Promise Fellows at schools and community sites throughout the state, serving over 170,000 students. The program has a tremendous impact: students in the program see consistent gains in attendance and on-time-to-school rates, academic engagement, and coursework completion. Federal funding would allow the program to expand to serve new schools and more students." Minneapolis MN $200,000 Website Letter

Programming would provide a concentrated effort to make the transition from in-custody to the community. The program would benefit the county by supporting our high risk and high needs clients with better opportunities to be successful upon transition from incarceration which, in turn, would make our communities safer. When other funding such as medical insurance or behavioral health funding is not available the grant funds will be used to provide short term mental health and chemical use treatment options in the jail. This service would be offered for individuals for up to 30 days to get a front end start on recovery and wellness before transitioning back into the community. Technology will be added in the jail to provide a virtual training and treatment option for inmates. Treatment in the jail is a new option for inmates. Transportation assistance and/or reimbursement will be incorporated into the project to support individuals in getting to and from treatment, appointments, healthy activities, and court. Community based activities and supports would include additional support to expand our current Club House. Club House currently provides mental health support, programming, education, and a safe and sober location to socialize. This funding would help to enhance this existing program by providing more opportunities for safe and sober activities and community involvement." Aitkin MN $250,000 Website Letter

Senator Smith MN Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Ototronix Hearing loss in rural populations is disproportionately higher to that of suburban and urban environments. It is estimated that 10% of U.S. farm workers (including meat processing workers) are exposed to an average daily noise level above 85 decibels which is generally considered to harm human hearing. This program will test the efficacy of middle ear implants to address profound hearing loss in patients who receive little or no benefit from hearing aids. Middle ear implants are also less than half the cost of a cochlear implant thereby saving the healthcare system money. Identifying potential candidates for a middle ear implant is very easy using common audiological testing practices. The primary endpoint of the program is to measure the improvement in speech recognition scores (speech understanding) of patients receiving this treatment using clinically accepted standards of evaluation.

Senator Warren MA Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Franklin Regional Council of Governments The funds will be used to purchase voice over pagers for call volunteer firefighters and EMTs that work on the Commonwealth’s digital radio system. Franklin County’s analog public safety radio system was reaching its end-of-life and is nearly inoperable. In response, the Massachusetts Executive Offices of Technology Services and Security and Public Safety and Security agreed to allow county departments to use the Commonwealth’s digital interoperable radio system. They also provided a grant to purchase radios for all system users so they could communicate on the new system. However, the grant did not cover the purchase of digital voice over pagers. Franklin County is a rural area, and a large portion of the county has inadequate cell signal coverage. These pagers that utilize the Commonwealth’s digital radio system will soon be the only reliable option to reach many of their volunteers. Without the pagers, the county faces lengthier response times for first responders to arrive on scene because we wilneed to use landline phones to notify them of an incident. This project would cover 75% of the $600,000 total estimated cost to purchase digital pagers for all county volunteer personnel. Greenfield, Franklin County MA $450,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Kistner Foundation Inc. dba Red Gate Farm Red Gate Farm Education Center is requesting $150,000 to help complete the construction of a new student housing facility and dining hall. These facilities will expand Red Gate Farm’s capacity to enrich children’s education from 3-season programming to year round farm-based activities that foster growth and self-confidence. Many more children from diverse socio-economic backgrounds will benefit from this investment in our facilities, as the buildings will more than double the number of students the organization can serve annually. Red Gate Farm Education Center currently serves students from across the Commonwealth and New England states. By expanding the organization’s current capacity, Red Gate Farm will be a greater resource to both the local community and farther areas. At Red Gate Farm, children learn to care for animals, tend gardens, and maintain forest trails. During five months of each year they may plant seeds, herd sheep, collect eggs, or harvest vegetables. Their year round programs will iroduce new farm experiences such as maple sugaring, pressing apples for cider, caring for newborn lambs, and planting seeds for the spring gardens. The construction of two new buildings will completely transform the farm's physical space, enabling Red Gate Farm to accommodate twice as many children, who will return to their communities with new skills. Ashland, Franklin County MA $150,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Energy and Water Development Town of Chatham Request for funding from the US Army Corps of Engineers for maintenance dredging of the Chatham, Stage Harbor Federal Navigation Project (FNP) to preserve access to Chatham’s largest and most utilized deep-water harbor. Shoaling of the entrance channel has increased substantially due to ongoing changes to Chatham’s eastern barrier beaches and inlets. Despite annual maintenance dredging, the channel continues to shoal, primarily during the fall and winter seasons, rendering the channel extremely shoal before onset of the important summer boating season for commercial and recreational boating interests, and the US Coast Guard. Without ongoing maintenance dredging access to the harbor will be critically compromised with a devastating impact on the local and regional economies, and public safety. Stage Harbor is a FNP that is critical to the maritime commercial, recreational, and public safety (US Coast Guard and Chatham Harbormaster) boating interests of Chatham. Historically, funding for the USACE to perform maintenance dredging has been sporadic and not dependable to ensure safe navigation into the harbor. Over the past 3 years, changes in shoaling patterns have greatly increased shoaling rates that would have rendered the channel virtually unusable to all but shallow draft vessels without repeated maintenance dredging, and at great expense, by the Town. Even with local dredging completed, additional dredging was necessary and undertaken by the USACE during this period but only by opportunistic re-programming of available funds from other project purposes. Dedicated FY2023 federal funding for the USACE is needed to ensure the channel will service the boating public for the 2024 boating season. Chatham MA $1,400,000 Website Letter

Senator Warren MA Financial Services and General Government MassChallenge Female founders, founders of color, founders from outside typical venture hubs remain grossly overlooked and underfunded by the typical entrepreneurial and venture ecosystem. At the extreme, black female founders receive less than 1% of venture funding and yet are one of the fastest growing categories of entrepreneurs. In order to address continued gaps in funding and access to other essential resources, and to address the resulting opportunity and wealth gap, MassChallenge has committed to a multi-year project to invest in Driving Equitable Outcomes for the over 500 startups it supports each year that includes several critical components: Outsized investment in historically underrepresented founders, including increasing participation in MassChallenge’s proven startup accelerator program, executive coaching from successful entrepreneurs with shared perspective, and a focused program to increase access to capital Investment in a more inclusive entrepreneurial support ecosystem, includinghrough training for all mentors, advisors, and judges on identity and race Thought-leadership and white papers highlighting the selection and acceleration processes that exclude founders and new approaches to create more equitable and inclusive approaches This project is critical to addressing the national gap in opportunity for historically underrepresented founders to achieve similar outcomes to white and/or male peers. This gap is mirrored in local gaps in each of the hubs in which MassChallenge operates today–Boston, Houston, Dallas, Austin, and Rhode Island. Because the opportunities are so rich in Massachusetts with a strong community of investors, innovators, and an entrepreneurial ecosystem that accelerates start-ups, we will apply our successful model to Boston.

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Associação Cabo Verdiana De Brockton, Inc This expansion will allow Associação Cabo Verdiana De Brockton to further expand their preventive program, to include many other community groups. The expansion as well as renovation of the building will enable the Association expansion of services such as a Youth Tutoring Center, enlargement of the Resource and Community Room and Clinical Services. The goal of the Youth Tutoring Center is to provide academic support and life skills that will help mold 20-25 youth into successful adults. The activities will include: Homework and Tutoring assistance, Fundamental Support and Assistance for college entrance as part of the Let's Get Ready Program from Stone Hill College, Leadership training in collaboration with Social Capital Inc, and Community Service Programs that include volunteering at shelters, visiting seniors centers and organizing canned food drives. The Resource Room only has 5 computers which are not sufficient to serve all youth requesting computer related learning. With the expansion, more computers can be installed allowing more youth with an opportunity to improve their technical skills. The area will also be available to disadvantaged adults as they will become familiar with emerging technologies by taking computer classes. The Community Room is reserved for neighborhood meetings and functions. The extension of this room would permit more community gatherings and social initiatives to leverage the mission of the Association. And the Clinical Services area will expand our current family unification program as well as alcohol counseling classes, parenting training programs, and individual counseling. These services will be offered in Capeverdean Creole and Portuguese and other community languages. There is a significant need of language appropriate services in the region; more people are forced to travel a long distance to receive such service. Brockton MA $1,720,000 Website Letter

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Brockton MA Upgrade to pool infrastructure (pool piping and filtration system etc.) to bring pool and water quality into current regulations. Upgrade the bathhouse facility to make it ADA compliant as well as improvements to the building itself (showers, new roof etc.). The main goal is for the pool infrastructure to be modernized and sized to meet current pool regulations for water quality for the health and safety of those using the pool. This work would include replacing all feed and return lines into the pool itself and replacement of the current DE filter system with a sand based filter system. These upgrades would not only improve water quality but would increase worker safety for those operating the pool by eliminating the need for the use of diatomaceous earth and the associated health risks with inhalation of airborne silica. The bathhouse, built in 1965 is also in need of significant upgrades. Currently it is not fully ADA compliant, the bathrooms need significant improvement, including the installation of shower stalls, shoring up of deteriorating walls, upgrading of the electrical system and a new roof to protect the building.

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Massachusetts Military Support Foundation Massachusetts Military Support Foundation would utilize this funding for the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Tweave Mill property in Norton to serve as its new Food bank distribution Center and Headquarters to supply its regional empowerment centers. This will allow MMSF to continue to meet the needs of veterans, active-duty military, and their families – many with low- and moderate-incomes as well as local Norton and Bristol County senior citizens and other at-risk populations. The new property will have the necessary space to safely receive, store, and distribute an increased volume of non-perishable food, fresh produce, pre-made meals and other goods throughout Massachusetts. COVID-19 greatly impacted the veteran community in unprecedented ways. According to a December 2020 CNAS Report on Massachusetts Needs Assessment During the Pandemic and Beyond, “impacts of the pandemic on Massachusetts veterans tracked largely with those of veterans nationally, with fallout particularly around mentahealth, isolation, and financial security due to unemployment, homelessness, food insecurity, and mental health –concluding that these issues increased for veterans who were not facing these challenges prior to the pandemic.” The two MMSF Empowerment Centers each serve 3,000+ families per month, impacting an estimated 18,000 individuals. MMSF’s food programs provide budget relief and lift emotional burdens that often accompany food insecurity. MMSF’s Food4Vets program distributed 53,500 food boxes since the start of the pandemic in 2020, and an additional 25,000 food boxes were distributed each month during that time through the USDA Farmers to Families program (USDA distribution partners are not compensated). MMSF is prepared to build on the strength of its capabilities and proven outcomes to serve multiple regions with enhanced capacity, which this facility will provide. The Massachusetts Military Support Foundation Food Bank Distribution Center and Headquarters is an ideal project for the community development fund for economic development initiatives as it addresses providing community services through the acquisition of real property which will result in a complete blight removal and remediation through the rehabilitation and improvement of the facility. - The proposed MMSF project directly addresses two out of three of the National Objectives of the broader CBDBG program - The project will benefit low- and moderate-income persons when supporting and feeding veterans and their families. - The project will eliminate the blight at the Tweave Mill property by taking it back from vandalism and rehabbing it to be an operating food bank and distribution center to respond to the needs of the Veteran Community.

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Codman Square Neighborhood Development Corporation The purpose of our request is to help Codman Square NDC in the acquisition phase of a larger affordable housing project. The project as a whole is indeed a construction project, but, as noted in question 15, above, our request concerns only the acquisition of the property on which the larger project will be built. On the Square Housing is an innovative way to leverage existing Codman Square NDC (CSNDC) assets, enliven and strengthen the core Codman Square business district in Dorchester, on behalf of the predominantly low/mod income minority owned businesses that exist there, and provide approximately 48 new affordable housing units to low-income residents, increasing supply and stabilizing this vulnerable population in place against rapidly rising housing prices. We will build four new stories of apartments above an existing 1-story commercial block already owned by a CSNDC subsidiary. In addition to the immediate benefits of the project, it can serve as a model for other developments of this kind in the mainly single-story Codman Square business district, bringing equity and economic mobility to this district in line with business districts in other, more prosperous districts elsewhere in Boston and its surroundings. The City of Boston is already planning to use a similar approach for new housing above the existing single story Codman Square branch library just 2 blocks up the street from our project location a 587-595 Washington Street.

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Town of Groton The area of Broadmeadow Road at James Brook, a road right off Main Street in the Town Center, is subject to recurring flooding and is an old soft, floating road. Broadmeadow Road is a “Corduroy road”, a road built on logs placed above naturally occurring mud and peat. Maintenance of the road over the years has consisted of overlays of asphalt which eventually sinks into the wetlands bordering James Brook. Previous dredging of James Brook has been done to keep the water flowing. Beavers and the increase in the severity and occurrence of rain/snow events have made flooding more frequent. The stability of the road is a major concern as well as more frequent road closures. These road closures limit emergency access and increase response times, block the only public access and exit route for the Public Library, impact students and parents trying to reach the school buses, alter school bus routes at the last minute, and limit the recreational opportunities along the popular Nashua River Rail Trail. This road is also a major egress for the residents who live along the upper portion of Broadmeadow Road, which is a one-way road off Main Street (Route 119). The only other way for these residents, patrons of the Public Library and users of the Rail Trail, to exit upper Broadmeadow Road when the Road is closed is by using a private driveway owned by a private school. Economic development and revitalization of the Downtown has been on the forefront of Town Officials for several years. A few mixed-use development properties that have direct access to Broadmeadow Road would substantially benefit from proper reconstruction of this road. Any increases in desirable housing downtown and retail opportunities would spur much needed economic development which is a major priority of the Town and would help lessen the tax burden placed on the taxpayers. The Town, as part of this request, would also look to pave a dirt road/crossing from the end of Station Ave, along the Rail Trail and out to Broadmeadow Road and also look to bring a water main from where it ends on Broadmeadow Road and connect it to an existing water main on Station Avenue to provide those priority development properties with the ability to connect to Town Water. A proposed 12,500 square foot commercial facility cannot be constructed without this new water main due to the lack of adequate water supply to that area. The 2019 Spring Town Meeting approved $50,000 to partially restore the historic drainage channels in the wet meadows bordering James Brook. A 2020 Hazard Mitigation Plan – Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Plan was created and identified the flooding along Broadmeadow Road as a “highest high priority”. With the creation of this Plan, the Town applied for a Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) Grant in June 2020. The Town was not successful with this grant opportunity. The Town has allocated $100,000 in ARPA funds to solicit a feasibility study/design work related to this project. Groton MA $3,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies City of Holyoke This project entails initial design and restoration work to revitalize and reopen Holyoke's largest urban park for public use. The present LWCF application is based on the Phase I budget produced during a recent preliminary site design process. The work proposed in Phase I reflects the areas of broad consensus of community informed feedback: 1) improved pedestrian access from Community Field to Anniversary Hill Park and ADA access; 2) restoration of stonework structures; and 3) selective landscaping and site restoration. In addition to overall trail improvements, Phase I includes design and construction costs associated with tree work (removal of hazard trees and vista pruning), restoration of historic Civilian Conservation Corps stone structures, creation of an accessible trail to Scott Tower, and vegetative clearing with habitat improvements. Phase I improvements also include installing connections from existing water, sewer, and electrical utilities to service restroom facilities and outdoor lighting anticipated to be included among future Phase II improvements. During this process, existing overhead utilities will be relocated underground to improve the visitor experience, for added safety, and to ensure eligibility for LWCF funding. Finally, the addition of educational and interpretive signage on the natural and human history of Anniversary Hill Park, along with maps and trail markers, will help tie the park experience together and again encourage passive use by visitors. This project involves initial restoration work to revitalize and reopen Holyoke's largest urban park for public use. Anniversary Hill Park was originally acquired via several donations of land from 1923 to 1939, to commemorate Holyoke’s fiftieth anniversary as a city. The park quickly became a destination for picnickers, sledders, and nature lovers, and had dramatic infrastructure improvements added in the early 1940s under the Works Progress Administration (WPA). A number of the hardscape features from this period are still vible today in good condition, including trails, footbridges, stone steps, and Scott Tower itself, all constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) using local stone. The reinvention of Anniversary Hill Park under Phase I will include restoring these features along with new improvements. The decline of the park began abruptly in the 1960s when I-91 was constructed through its center. The portion on the eastern side, now known as Community Field, underwent a $3.1 million multi-use renovation in 2010 and is now the City’s most visited park. The City of Holyoke has long sought to revitalize the former Anniversary Hill Park site and return it to the high-profile and active use which it once enjoyed within the City’s Park system. Combined with the adjoining Community Field, it would become Holyoke’s largest park. With many residents now driving northward to visit Mt Tom to access hiking trails, picnic spots, and vistas--especially during the Covid-19 pandemic-- few know that similar amenities coulist near the City’s center. The site is well situated just to the west of Holyoke’s downtown core, and ideal for broad accessibility by Holyoke’s populace. It is adjacent to two Holyoke Housing Authority developments, and within walking distance or a very short drive of several U.S. Census tracts containing socio-economically disadvantaged communities without access to nearby open space (see Attachment D). PVTA bus routes 21 and 23 already pass through Jarvis Avenue near Scott Tower park and could easily add stops near the new park entrance. Kestrel Land Trust, the City's partner in the current park revitalization effort was able to negotiate similar, increased bus access with PVTA for a new park on Mt. Tom in neighboring Easthampton. Under the city’s ultimate vision for re-establishing Anniversary Hill Park--once described as the “Central Park” of Holyoke--it is feasible that the location could become a draw for local events as well as for visitors from outside Holyoke, with amenities simi other urban forest parks in the region. The natural resources and ecological restoration of the park would also allow it to serve as a model “outdoor classroom” for local youth through partnerships with local non-profit groups like Eagle Eye Institute and the Holyoke Boys and Girls Club.

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Community Servings Community Servings has been operating in the Commonwealth for 32 years, and has made and delivered over 10 million medically tailored meals to date. As the link between food and health has become more evident, Community Servings has made it their mission to alleviate the immense barrier of acquiring diet specific ingredients and cooking nutritionally beneficial meals for chronically sick individuals, and to deliver food that can truly be considered medicine for their clients. They offer 15 medical diets that meet the medical and nutritional needs of clients with HIV/AIDS, cancer, kidney disease, diabetes, and other life-threatening illnesses. As just one example of this program’s proven benefits, a research study published in JAMA-Internal Medicine in 2019 found that health care costs were reduced 16% and hospitalizations reduced 49% for high cost, high need patients receiving medically tailored meals. In addition to their MTM program, Community Servings has also integrated workforce development into theirrganization through the Teaching Kitchen, which is a free 12-week job training program for people interested in careers in the food service industry who face barriers to full-time employment. Community Servings is committed, in all programs and business practices, to prioritize racial and economic justice and health equity. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, the demand for Community Servings’ services has skyrocketed and the agency has responded by doubling the number of meals and clients served monthly. The agency is now providing nearly 900,000 medically tailored meals to 4,000 clients, their dependent children and caregivers annually. To meet this increased demand, Community Servings is looking to expand services to different parts of the state and deliver on their promise of putting every kind of equity at the center of their operations, including geographic.

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Town of Mattapoisett This Congressionally Directed Spending funding would support the Mattapoisett Rail Trail shared use path project by providing funds for completion of the shovel-ready segment. The property has already been acquired and substantial improvements have been made to this section utilizing state, local and private funds. At present, there is a gap in the two portions of the shared use path in Mattapoisett that have been, or which will soon be, completed through a productive public-private partnership using local and state funds, as well as significant private donations. Not only will the project provide a local transportation option, but it is also a critical component of the larger South Coast Bikeway, providing community connectivity along a 50-mile, carbon-free route across Southeastern Massachusetts from New Bedford harbor eastward to the Cape Cod Canal. More significantly, completion of the path offers a safe option for walkers, bicyclists and other vulnerable users by removing them from the auto-centric Route 6 corridor, and providing a safe alternative means of travel across the greater South Coast region to Cape Cod. The project is comprised of three components described here in the order of readiness and completion: Construction of ‘Shovel-Ready” 2B, Design Engineering, Permitting and of Construction of 2A, and Amenities Vision Plan. We are applying for a single Project to ensure that all safety concerns are completed effectively and efficiently. Since Phase 2B is fully designed and permitted, bidding and construction can start once Congressionally Directed Spending funding is obligated. Phase 2A Engineering Design can begin soon after our Town funded Pre-Design is complete in 2023. 2A Design may occur concurrently with construction of 2B. Construction of 2A will follow. The third component, an “Amenities Vision Plan” can be implemented as SUP sections are completed, site coordination and funds allow. We envision a unified Project to safely manage cyclists, pedestrians, truckommuters, and local traffic properly in a constrained area. We envision sufficient trail ‘amenities’ to make this a pleasurable and sustainable commuting and recreational experience. The project will provide free access and free parking for several public beaches. It will abut Mattapoisett’s Affordable Housing units and its Senior Housing facility, providing those residents, as well, with an ADA-accessible safe and pleasant forested walk and access to the adjacent Holy Ghost Park. It will provide alternative surface transportation to good jobs at two industrial parks within 4–10-mile rides of large work force and Environmental Justice communities in New Bedford and Wareham and smaller ones in Fairhaven and Marion. The requested Congressionally Directed Funding is sought to fund those elements of the project plan that are shovel-ready and otherwise capable of being utilized during FY2023.

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) The security checkpoint improvement project involves the renovation of shell space within the existing Terminal Building and the construction of a two-lane security checkpoint. Once the new checkpoint has been placed into service, the existing single lane checkpoint located in the passenger hold room will be decommissioned and removed. The space currently occupied by the single lane checkpoint will be converted to hold room space for passengers waiting to board aircraft. The proposed project will enhance security but more importantly allow the airport and TSA to consistently provide a high level of customer service to the airline passengers who choose Worcester Regional Airport. Project Objectives include: Efficiently screening passengers; Decreasing passenger wait times; Maintaining checkpoint throughput capacity when screening equipment has to be taken out of service for repair or calibration; Providing a clean, modern, and comfortable environment in which to conduct the screening process; Better detection technology means there will be less divestment requirements and human resources are better allocated to other areas of need. Discovery of threats and prohibited items will occur more often, and; The new CT equipment screens passenger carryon baggage and other items and has the potential to decrease the need for manual searches. The proposed improvements to the screening process will contribute to the continued growth and success of Worcester Regional Airport. The current single lane configuration of the Worcester Regional Airport checkpoint is not advantageous for several reasons. As the post pandemic passenger volumes recover, the peak passenger volumes now satisfy the TSA criteria for a second lane. While not busy all day, Worcester’s departing flights tend to be concentrated during short periods. This results in significant peak volumes. A second lane will allow the TSA to staff the checkpoint in a manner which maintains desirable wait times during the peak periods. From a customer service perspective, the most significant advantage of a second lane comes into play if screening equipment has to be taken out of service for any reason. In the current checkpoint set-up, baggage can still be screened manually if the screening equipment is unavailable or out of service. However, that process is slow and invasive, and the throughput of the checkpoint is significantly degraded. This results in a dramatic increase in wait times. A second lane allows the checkpoint to function efficiently with the other lane out of service. One of the advantages of Worcester Regional Airport when compared to larger airports is the relative convenience that passengers experience. Passengers can park, get their tickets, check their bags and get through security in a fraction of the time that it takes at larger facilities. Enhancing the screening capacity by adding a second lane to the security checkpoint will ensure that the passengers consistently experience a desirable level of customer service.

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción In November 2020, Inquilinos Boricuas en Acción (IBA) was forced to demolish its Boston-based arts center, which was housed in a 155-year-old church, due to structural deficiencies. This loss was significant, as IBA is the largest hub for Latinx arts in New England, and its former arts center hosted events and performances while also serving as a learning and gathering space for IBA’s Villa Victoria affordable housing community. The demolition of this space also impacted IBA’s revenue stream, as rental space within the former church had been a source of income for IBA. To replace its former arts center, IBA is building The Center for Community Action, Self-sufficiency, and the Arts (The CASA). This multi-purpose community arts and gathering space will better meet IBA’s actual needs, and will increase its capacity to facilitate community programming that serves IBA’s low-income residents, as well as to provide access to Latinx arts for the City of Boston and New England.

Senator Warren MA Homeland Security Salem Police Department The Salem Police and Fire Departments operate communication centers located inside the Police Station at 95 Margin Street (the designated Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)), and inside the Fire HQ at 44 Lafayette Street. These centers are responsible for answering incoming calls (three 9-1-1 lines and numerous non-emergency business lines), as well as handling all radio communications for emergency services events in the City of Salem. The communications centers are critical components of the City’s first responders’ ability to effectively communicate during mission critical incidents affecting the life, health, and safety of the public. The main radios used by both police and fire are Motorola MTR 2000 conventional analog systems, with Motorola Centracom Gold Elite dispatch consoles. These consoles control radio communications, as well as interoperable resources or communications to other agencies through control stations. The radios and repeaters were all purchased around the year 2000. The service agreement for the existing communications system equipment and software has reached its end of service life. Motorola will no longer support this equipment, resulting in no firmware updates, limited parts availability, and limited support from our vendor. The public safety radio system is comprised of several remote sites located within the city which feed signals that provide for coverage within those areas. The radio system requires connectivity from all these sites back to the signal comparator which is located at the police and fire stations. The connectivity for these remote locations is over copper wire circuits that the city leases from Verizon. These copper circuits are outdated technology, so the support for these circuits is very limited by the provider. As these are older copper circuits, they constantly have changes in their electronic make up that creates signal loss and causes the radio system to have frequent failures resulting in poor coverage. Not only has the lack of municipal control of the lines been problematic, with Verizon moving away from supporting these circuits they are increasingly subject to outages and failures. Verizon no longer intends to invest in these lines, meaning repair times are taking longer and there is no expectation that the situation will improve. The consequence of this situation is that the life and safety of Salem’s first responders, as well as the people who rely on them to be able to respond in a timely manner to emergencies, is being increasingly put at risk. As a busy city with the largest hospital in the region, a state university, the county courts, a major power plant facility, and a very active downtown and tourism industry, the danger from the increasing failure of these circuits is substantial.

Senator Warren MA Homeland Security Worcester Housing Authority This request for funding would assist the Worcester Housing Authority (WHA) in creating a new, comprehensive emergency preparedness plan in order to protect its 14,000 residents and over 200 staff members in the case of potential disaster. Working closely with a contracted consultant and the City of Worcester, the WHA will develop a plan that will not only protect residents and employees but will also see the creation of emergency rooms throughout its 24 developments that will contain all of the necessary supplies and materials in case of an emergency, such as personal protective equipment, food, water, and more.

Senator Warren MA Homeland Security Town of Hull The project will reduce the risk of damage along the coastline and increase the level of protection to meet needs of future sea level rise and climatic changes, providing greater resiliency for the critical roadway connecting two portions of the town. The Town of Hull is replacing the seawalls along the Nantasket Avenue shoreline to eliminate impacts from coastal storm events. The shoreline is highly exposed and is subject to wave and storm impacts from the open ocean. The project will construct a new higher seawall along approximately 1,600 feet of Nantasket Avenue between Point Allerton Avenue and Fitzpatrick Way. This new seawall will provide essential protection to portions of Fitzpatrick Way and Nantasket Avenue and the utilities in the right of way. Fitzpatrick Way provides a critical link for access to and from Pemberton Point with the US Coast Guard Station, two schools, the wastewater treatment facility, and over 700 private lots. The right of way contains all utilities supplying Pemberton Point including water, sewer, electric and gas. The seawall not only protects access to Pemberton and its utilities, but also the sewer line for the entire town connects to the wastewater plant past this point. Loss of the road would cause failure of the sewer line to this treatment facility and spillage into the ocean would result. The proposed concrete seawall will be constructed with a higher top elevation than the existing seawalls to improve protection. The seawall design includes a recurve shape to provide an additional reduction in the volume of water overtopping the wall during storms. The design allows for sea level rise through at least the year 2070. Hull MA $5,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Homeland Security Cape Cod Commission (Barnstable County) The project employs state of the art modeling Massachusetts Coast Flood Risk Model and community engagement to identify and prioritize low lying roads to target for coastal resiliency action. This analysis has identified highly-vulnerable and highly-critical locations along Route 6 on the Outer Cape that, if impacted by a coastal storm event or, in the long-term by sea level rise, would disconnect thousands of residents. With the requested federal investment, conceptual designs for a range of solutions for the three most vulnerable location along the corridor would be developed. The solutions are anticipated to include traditional infrastructure options, such as elevating a roadway segment, as well as nature-based solutions. This range of solutions would be presented to MassDOT, MEMA, the municipalities, and the public for feedback. As part of this project, the design for one of the solutions at one of the three locations would be further developed, consistent with MassDOT Project Development and Design Guide, to a 25% design level. The 25% design is an important step in the design process where the subsequent public engagement and permitting requirements of the project can be well-understood and a path forward for the project can be developed. With the 25% design, the project would be well positioned to pursue a variety of funding opportunities for implementation.

Senator Warren MA Energy and Water Development Army Corps of Engineers Request for funding from the US Army Corps of Engineers for maintenance dredging of the Chatham, Stage Harbor Federal Navigation Project (FNP) to preserve access to Chatham’s largest and most utilized deep-water harbor. Shoaling of the entrance channel has increased substantially due to ongoing changes to Chatham’s eastern barrier beaches and inlets. Despite annual maintenance dredging, the channel continues to shoal, primarily during the fall and winter seasons, rendering the channel extremely shoal before onset of the important summer boating season for commercial and recreational boating interests, and the US Coast Guard. Without ongoing maintenance dredging access to the harbor will be critically compromised with a devastating impact on the local and regional economies, and public safety. Stage Harbor is a FNP that is critical to the maritime commercial, recreational, and public safety (US Coast Guard and Chatham Harbormaster) boating interests of Chatham. Historically, funding for the USACE to perform maintenance dredging has been sporadic and not dependable to ensure safe navigation into the harbor. Over the past 3 years, changes in shoaling patterns have greatly increased shoaling rates that would have rendered the channel virtually unusable to all but shallow draft vessels without repeated maintenance dredging, and at great expense, by the Town. Even with local dredging completed, additional dredging was necessary and undertaken by the USACE during this period but only by opportunistic re-programming of available funds from other project purposes. Dedicated FY2023 federal funding for the USACE is needed to ensure the channel will service the boating public for the 2024 boating season. Chatham MA $1,400,000 Website Letter

Over 80% of students served are BIPOC/AAPI; nearly all qualify for federally-supported school meal plans, and most reside in low-income homes. Chief objectives of our project are to sustain and expand the teaching that we bring to gyms, classrooms, auditoriums, and recreation sites throughout Boston. Both Citydance and ECIL offer the possibility for further dance training with tuition support at Boston Ballet School. Funding will increase cultural competency training for program faculty, extend family dance access through subsidized tickets to Boston Ballet performances, and increase tuition assistance for program alumni enrolled in Boston Ballet School classes. The project also includes the pilot of a promotional campaign using dance-on-film to increase public awareness and build institutional trust in city neighborhoods, an effort that we believe will lead to higher student retention and greater diversity in Boston Ballet School, as well as in our audiences.

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Lasell University In Massachusetts, 17,000 high-paying cybersecurity jobs remain unfilled due to a shortage of individuals with the adequate level of education and training to fill the positions. Additionally, the state’s existing cybersecurity workforce lacks diverse representation, particularly among women, persons of color, and veterans. The Lasell University Cybersecurity Education Center (LUCEC) seeks to address these workplace gaps and help ensure that people and businesses in the state can be protected against cyberattacks by expanding Lasell’s cybersecurity program through the establishment of a virtual cybersecurity range. The Lasell cybersecurity range will be a hyper-realistic cyber simulation platform that will mimic real-world problems in the cybersecurity realm, serving as a hands-on cyber lab for students, as well as an advanced, simulated training environment for cybersecurity professionals. The range would draw more students to Lasell to study cybersecurity and experience the specialized, hands-on learning opportunities that Lasell offers. If funded, LUCEC will address the talent gap by increasing the number of skilled, trained, and experienced cybersecurity professionals by 150 in the first year and 500 over three years of project implementation. The multi-disciplinary curriculum will meet students where they are by offering industry certificate programs, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees. Students will gain a theoretical and practical foundation in the principles of information assurance, and in ethical institutional practices and behaviors. They will also gain direct experience through team-based projects, hands-on activities, and security-related internship assignments. The program’s professional focus on career readiness will prepare graduates to help safeguard organizations on the internet, including in areas such as national security policy, cyber investigation, and vulnerability testing.

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Independence House, Inc. This funding amount is requested to construct a 2,700 square foot building adjacent to a current out of date building to serve domestic and sexual violence victims. Taxpayer dollars are justified when we consider that in 2008, domestic violence was declared a public health emergency in Massachusetts. Independence House, Inc. founded in Barnstable County by residents who identified a pressing community need, is now in its 43rd year, with its intact relevant and timeless mission of helping all domestic and sexual violence victims, survivors and children by creating opportunities for safety and empowerment through crisis intervention. This funding supports a cost-effective construction of a 2,700 square foot building for Independence House, Inc., the only resource, counseling and advocacy center for victims/survivors of domestic and sexual violence in Hyannis, MA. The building is replacing our current building which lacks energy efficiency, is not up to building and fire codes for the 21st century; is not 100% ADA compliant, and lacks adequate space and privacy needs for counseling victims/survivors. This building will serve the needs of all domestic and sexual violence victims/survivors in Barnstable County in all towns and villages. The building itself will provide increased safety and privacy and meet the demand for the new and additional services Independence House, Inc. has experienced over the last 43 years, and improve the work environment and ultimately mental the well-being of our dedicated staff. The building will offer a much needed lunch area for employees, protected /secure entrance for survivors and a secure private waiting room . New and expanded services to be offered in the new building include an ADA compliant accessible food panty; therapeutic art space to aid healing, and enhance well-being; specialized therapeutic spaces to support the mental health and safety needs for adults and children exposed to domestic violence; specialized tailored therapeutic services to support most underserved survivors/victims including BIPOC victim/survivors and victims/survivors with disabilities.

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies University of Massachusetts Lowell The Year 2 Expansion will establish an extension of RHSA supports through participating students' sophomore year, something the university does not have the resources to fund. The second year will offer similar supports as the freshman year program, plus a professional mentoring program and other enhanced opportunities, with an emphasis on continued academic success and preparation for upper-division coursework and responsibilities. We will also offer retention housing and textbook scholarships for high-achieving, need-based second-year RHSA students. A major focus for this expansion is on the creation of “on ramps” for students to get involved in more advanced, upper class year opportunities through university, college, and departmental research, learning, and co-curricular programs where first-generation students, students of color, and students from low-income backgrounds are traditionally underrepresented. Scholarships will also be a key support for students to incentive their engagement in RHSA proamming and alleviate the financial pressures many first-gen students face in paying for college. Pathways to Career will offer junior and senior students a suite of ongoing supports and opportunities focused primarily on career readiness, whether a student plans on moving directly into the job market or applying to graduate school. This expansion initiative will involve three primary strategies: 1) 1-on-1 supports through coaching and mentoring; 2) leadership positions and development through Peer Leader program and other leadership roles; 3) other supports and opportunities, including a professional development fund (to cover costs associated with professional attire, job hunting, graduate school applications, etc.), industry-specific initiatives (such as targeted supports for students moving into engineering, sciences, health, or criminal justice fields), and other career readiness, networking, and job opportunity programs.

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Island Health Care FQHC In November 2020, a hospital-sponsored dental clinic on Martha’s Vineyard serving Medicaid and the state's Health Safety Net patients closed abruptly, leaving the low-medium income population with extremely limited access to dental care and no access to a pediatric dentist. To meet this crisis of limited access to oral health and safety-net dental services for families and children on Martha’s Vineyard, Island Health Care FQHC has purchased space and developed architectural and operational plans to build and equip a four-chair, full-service dental clinic. Our proposed CDS project provides start-up funding for salary and housing support for dental clinic staff, support of an adult and pediatric residency training program, additional equipment, supplies, and other necessary expenses including tele-dentistry for the center's first 12 months of operations. Start-up operational funds from the proposed project will greatly shorten the time it will take to meet the needs of the service area's 21,000 year-round residents, the majority of whom are presently without any access to oral health care and include most of the children who live on Martha's Vineyard. As a federally-qualified community health center, Island Health Care is well-positioned to fill this gap in access to dental care. FQHC's can receive enhanced reimbursement rates from government insurers such as Medicaid (MassHealth) which has recently dramatically increased payments to health centers for medical and dental services. Once up and running with start-up funding support, the business model for staffing and operationalizing the rural dental center, and for partnering with Boston University's Goldman School of Dental Medicine for training and pediatric specialty support, will be highly sustainable.

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Tufts University School of Dental Medicine Dental care remains the largest unmet health care need of children, especially for those with disabilities. Tufts University School of Dental Medicine proposes an innovative mobile dental clinic program that brings care to every child in Boston and across Massachusetts, especially the most vulnerable, through an innovative integrated system of care that aims to improve and prioritize oral health-related quality of life. The mobile dental clinic will leverage existing resources and deep expertise to reach the unreachable. TUSDM has ongoing school-based screening and dental education programs in Boston public schools. TUSDM also maintains a network of seven clinics to serve people with special and complex medical needs. However, we have found that the current brick-and-mortar infrastructure does not allow us to treat those children that face the most challenges. Poverty, lack of social support, living in a single parent household, immobility due to a complex medical problem (such as quadriplegia), serious intellectual or developmental disabilities are all factors that create significant barriers to dental care. The mobile dental clinic provides a solution to many of these barriers and enhances our ability to visit our patients in their natural environment. Boston MA $650,000 Website Letter

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology We seek a federal appropriation to establish the new interdisciplinary Center for Energy Efficiency Training at Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology. As the MA House and Senate debate a new Climate Bill to support the landmark one passed in March 2021 it is concerning that we still don’t have the trained workforce to help achieve the 2050 net-zero goal for the Commonwealth. This request will fund the start of new for-credit programs and shorter non-credit programs sorely needed to skill up the local cleantech workforce in energy efficiency as well as sustainable construction and the trades. BFIT’s high-quality Energy Efficiency Training programs provide affordable expertise and training to untapped and racially diverse talent. Unlike any other colleges in the Commonwealth, 74% of our students identify as people of color and 86% are male. The full-time job placement rate one year after graduation is 85%. Collectively, our Energy Efficiency Training programs provide pathways to economic security for students and their families--most of whom are extremely low-income (household earnings of $23,800 in FY21). Our training programs help these individual learners double their household income with one or two years of career-focused college courses.

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Worcester State University EC-Springfield provides low-income high school students in urban and rural areas of the Pioneer Valley with dual enrollment classes, student support services, and summer residential learning opportunities. In all, some 1,000 students will earn 12,000 college credits. Early College Springfield (ECS) increases access and success for under-represented high school students. Students graduate HS with significant college credits, reducing the time and cost needed to obtain a degree and achieve success through added student support services. Our nation is experiencing a 30% drop in college enrollment among students of color and this negative trend is widening under the pandemic. In Springfield only 56% of graduates plan on enrolling in post-secondary education compared with 74% of all MA graduates. This gap has staggering consequences for the region’s economic health. The median income in MA is $41,000 with a HS diploma and $69,000 with a bachelor’s degrees. In response, in 2019 WSU entered a formal cboration with Springfield Public Schools and the Springfield Empowerment Zone Partnership to offer free college classes and a robust system of support. Classes are offered in area high schools by WSU faculty with additional summer learning opportunities on the campus of WSU. Hundreds of students have successfully completed this unique Early College program and enrolled in post-secondary education. This proposal seeks to build upon this success and provide more students in the region with life-changing opportunities. Springfield is vital to the Commonwealth’s economic prosperity. It is the second largest school district in the state. Latino students comprise 68% of all students, followed by African American students. Springfield's child poverty rate of 37.7% is the highest of any district in the state. Given that Springfield high school students are less likely to take college level courses than most high schoolers in Massachusetts, students and families stand to gain considerably from Early College.

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Berkshire Community College Berkshire Community College (BCC) seeks funding through an FY23 Congressional Directed Spending request in order to purchase and install two generators that will keep the campus operational during a power outage or other emergency situation. BCC is committed to ensuring a safe and secure environment for its students, faculty and staff and has recently made some significant investments to its technology infrastructure, classroom buildings, and security systems. Without backup power capabilities, however, BCC is unable to operate or maintain these systems in the event of an electrical outage. On average, BCC experiences four to five major outages each year, most lasting five to six hours, which often requires the closure of the campus and the cancellation of classes. The College has a limited backup power source for its computer servers, which only lasts a few hours. Power outages can significantly impact BCC’s wireless capabilities, telephone, security, fire alarm, lighting for evacuation routes, andomputer systems. Two standby emergency generators will not only provide power to the campus, but will also allow BCC to serve as a regional shelter for Berkshire County. BCC has been identified by the Central Berkshire Regional Emergency Planning Committee as a prime location for a large-scale regional shelter, however, it cannot do so without the availability of backup power. The Regional Sheltering Plan has been developed in partnership with the Massachusetts Emergency Management Association as part of the Commonwealth’s effort to establish community-based shelter locations. The Plan is built around 12 communities in Central Berkshire County including Becket, Dalton, Hancock, Hinsdale, Lanesborough, Lee, Lenox, Peru, Pittsfield, Richmond, Washington, and Windsor. This project will impact residents in all these communities. BCC has been chosen to serve as a regional shelter because of its large capacity athletic facility, personal hygiene facilities, and food service capabilities. Unfortunately, the facility lacks is a large capacity backup electrical generator and accompanying transfer switch equipment to facilitate power needs if the electric distribution system should fail. Funding will provide support for an engineering study, upgrades to BCC’s current electrical system, as well as the purchase and installation of two standby commercial-grade generators. BCC estimates the overall cost to be approximately $500,000. Pittsfield MA $500,000 Website Letter

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies United Way of Massachusetts Bay & Merrimack Valley Shared Services MA is a proven economic development initiative that invests in the workforce needs of Family Child Care (FCC) businesses and increases the sustainability of the early education sector. In a state with high levels of income inequality, supporting workers in low-wage service and care work is one of our greatest challenges. According to the Center for American Progress, the cost of providing child care during the pandemic has risen by 70% for FCC providers nationwide. The pandemic has accelerated these trends and only worsened the prospects of FCC businesses. Data from the MA Department of Early Education and Care indicate that the number of licensed FCC providers declined by 4% between May 2020 and September 2020. Across the Commonwealth, over 300 FCC businesses closed their doors. FCC entrepreneurs, primarily women of color and immigrants, are an integral part of the state’s economy. Yet, despite their indispensable roles, they lack the business support that other types of entreprenes receive such as budgeting, rate setting, and marketing. Shared Services MA provides business training and peer support networks for FCC providers who face many challenges including isolation, limited resources and support staff, and lack of business expertise. To date, Shared Services MA has trained over 700 FCC educators across the commonwealth and mobilized more than 1,000 early educators to access free resources on business and pedagogical best practices. Shared Services MA has an evidence-based, four-pronged model: 1) financial stability and growth opportunities via small business grants; 2) business training with emphasis on technology skills; 3) coaching, technical assistance from subject matter partners who are experts in their field and Communities of Practice to implement learnings and strengthen networks; and 4) developmental screenings to identify needs and deliver early intervention, so children enter school ready to learn. Through this approach, FCC providers gain tools to succeed long-term as both educators and owners of FCC businesses. This program simultaneously increases economic opportunity for child care providers and the families they serve, as well as targeting developmental supports for children in need. As our region grapples with the longstanding economic crisis and a growing demand for affordable care, UWMB requests $1,397,495 to increase the presence of the Shared Services MA program for family childcare educators in Massachusetts.

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Greater New Bedford Community Health Center, Inc. Taking into account the effects COVID-19 has had on the population with an ever-increasing demand for mental health services by our primary care providers, Greater New Bedford Community Health Center, Inc. (GNBCHC) has embarked on an effort to integrate mental health services into primary care practices throughout GNBCHC. Currently there is inadequate space and exam rooms to provide primary care services and therefore adding mental health counselors to our teams has been challenging. With the $2M in funding received from the 2022 Community Project Funding (CPF) we will be constructing a central registration and main entrance to GNBCHC. This project will allow us to add/upgrade elevator access to our third floor that currently serves as an administrative department and will be transformed into a patient service area with additional funding from CPF in 2023. We intend to relocate current administrative services across the street to our new building and create a campus setting to better serve the most vulnerable and needy families in the New Bedford area. We will create behavioral health counseling rooms and hire Licensed Independent Clinical Social Workers (LICSWs) and Community Health Workers (CHWs) to work collaboratively with our medical teams to receive warm handoffs for patients experiencing serious mental health concerns. Once the patients have been stabilized, our mental health team can work with the patients and medical teams to create a plan of care for long-term stabilization.

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Boston Public Health Commission In early 2021, the City of Boston engaged in a landmark effort to house over 150 individuals living in tents and homeless encampments. As part of the effort low-threshold transitional housing sites were established both within existing shelters and new non-congregate sites across the City. As individuals achieve stability, they are placed in permanent supportive housing in locations throughout Boston and across the state. These low-threshold housing sites integrate mental health and substance use counseling and medical care. Incorporating a low-threshold workforce program would provide another avenue for hope and stability and add to important wraparound services. Boston MA $1,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Edward M. Kennedy Community Health Center, Inc. Kennedy Community Health is seeking CDS to assist in expanding access to health care for marginalized populations and people of color as we open our new and second health center site in Worcester at 605 Lincoln Street. The funding will support 12 FTEs of the many new staff required to support the following: expanded dental, behavioral health and urgent care practices; our optometry program; a small pharmacy; and support staff. Seizing the opportunity to almost double our footprint in Worcester, we purchased a building at 605 Lincoln Street, a half mile from our flagship health center at 19 Tacoma Street. The Worcester regional 2018 Community Health Assessment noted two issues that must be addressed to improve health status and reduce existing disparities: racism, discrimination and health equity and health system issues (workforce issues, …). Our proposal to expand health care services in Worcester will address these concerns. Seizing the opportunity to almost double our footprint in Worcester,n 2021 we purchased 605 Lincoln Street, a half mile from our flagship health center at 19 Tacoma Street. Operating two large health centers will expand our capacity and increase access to vital health care services, especially for vulnerable populations. The new facility will house expanded dental, behavioral health and urgent care, a small pharmacy, our optometry practice and other related services. We are seeking funding for 12 new FTEs to support some of this growth. These new staff will be hired from the communities we serve and we strive to hire staff who represent our patient demographics. Our approach to expanding access was strategic in that the purchase of 605 Lincoln Street is allowing us to move and expand our dental and behavioral health practices while freeing up space in our flagship health center site at 19 Tacoma Street, Worcester to grow primary care and increase access to culturally and linguistically competent medical care for the citizens of Central Massachusetts. The extra space at our flagship health center will also support the growth of our 340b pharmacy and its move the first floor for easy access, and the expansion of our Ryan White HIV, MAT, LGBTQ+, and trans practices.

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Island Health Inc. dba Island Health Care FQHC The proposed project provides start-up funding for salary and housing support for dental clinic staff, support of an adult and pediatric residency training program, additional equipment, supplies, and other necessary expenses including tele-dentistry for the center's first 12 months of operations. Start-up operational funds from the proposed project will greatly shorten the time it will take to meet the needs of the service area's 21,000 year-round residents, the majority of whom are presently without any access to oral health care and include most of the children who live on Martha's Vineyard. As a federally qualified community health center, Island Health Care is well positioned to fill this gap in access to dental care. FQHC's can receive enhanced reimbursement rates from government insurers such as Medicaid (MassHealth) which has recently dramatically increased payments to health centers for medical and dental services. Once up and running with start-up funding support, the business model for staffing and operationalizing the rural dental center, and for partnering with Boston University's Goldman School of Dental Medicine for training and pediatric specialty support will be highly sustainable.

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Greater Lawrence Greater Lawrence Family Health Center (GLFHC), a federally qualified community health center in the Massachusetts 3rd Congressional District, seeks $3.0 million in federal Community Project Funding for the relocation and expansion of Substance Use Disorder Services (SUD), homeless outreach services, and other vital community support and enabling services the Health Center now offers at 100 Water Street in Lawrence, MA. This funding will help GLFHC address major gaps in health equity in our community and equally important to this expansion is that this project will also allow the Health Center to fully integrate these services with its infectious disease services & primary health care services offered at all other sites thereby following a true Patient Centered Medical Home model (PCMH) for all Health Center patients. The Health Center currently provides comprehensive primary healthcare to over 62,000 registered patients annually, however this void in service delivery must be addressed for our region’s st vulnerable patients – those suffering and at risk for substance use disorder, infectious diseases and/or homelessness. The current space at 100 Water Street (~4000 square feet) is not adequate nor does it conform to DPH regulatory standard requirements to serve as a true Health Center clinic. The relocation from Water Street to a larger site (~8000-10,000 square feet) will allow for our Community Support Services Division to expand its outreach throughout the Greater Lawrence footprint and provide expanded access to SUD Services, healthcare for the homeless, HIV, Hepatitis C Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI’s) and outreach services. GLFHC currently operates seven Health Center sites in Lawrence, Methuen, and Haverhill and has identified the need to expand these services in the city of Lawrence, thus ensuring the addition of increased access to comprehensive primary health care services for our most vulnerable population in the city. The Water Street site has been the headquarters fothese important healthcare service lines and has served as a lifeline for some of those most underserved residents of Lawrence and surrounding areas. GLFHC is truly a leader in this area of health care delivery and is often called upon by other communities to address these same issues through not only care delivery, but also training and education. That fact alone has created the need for the Health Center to identify and move its location in the next 12-18 months in order to meet the current demand and expand service delivery, creating Methuen MA $3,000,000 Website Letter

Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Community Servings Community Servings has been operating in the Commonwealth for 32 years, and has made and delivered over 10 million medically tailored meals to date. As the link between food and health has become more evident, Community Servings has made it their mission to alleviate the immense barrier of acquiring diet specific ingredients and cooking nutritionally beneficial meals for chronically sick individuals, and to deliver food that can truly be considered medicine for their clients. They offer 15 medical diets that meet the medical and nutritional needs of clients with HIV/AIDS, cancer, kidney disease, diabetes, and other life-threatening illnesses. As just one example of this program’s proven benefits, a research study published in JAMA-Internal Medicine in 2019 found that health care costs were reduced 16% and hospitalizations reduced 49% for high cost, high need patients receiving medically tailored meals. In addition to their MTM program, Community Servings has also integrated workforce development into theirrganization through the Teaching Kitchen, which is a free 12-week job training program for people interested in careers in the food service industry who face barriers to full-time employment. Community Servings is committed, in all programs and business practices, to prioritize racial and economic justice and health equity. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, the demand for Community Servings’ services has skyrocketed and the agency has responded by doubling the number of meals and clients served monthly. The agency is now providing nearly 900,000 medically tailored meals to 4,000 clients, their dependent children and caregivers annually. To meet this increased demand, Community Servings is looking to expand services to different parts of the state and deliver on their promise of putting every kind of equity at the center of their operations, including geographic. By increasing storage and delivery capacity to efficiently serve critically and chronically ill clients, Community Servings will reach a wider variety of communities across Massachusetts including Worcester, Leominster and other MA-District 2 communities, increase their ability to partner with local foods producers, improve sustainability through meal packaging, and expand their capacity to stockpile medically tailored meals for emergency use due to natural disaster or pandemic response. This expansion will support the preparation and delivery of 3.3M medically tailored meals over the next three years to an average of 4,000 clients annually who are experiencing critical and chronic illness and nutrition insecurity. https://www.servings.org MA $1,000,000 Website Letter
Senator Warren MA Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Codman Square Neighborhood Development Corporation The purpose of our request is to help Codman Square NDC in the acquisition phase of a larger affordable housing project. The project as a whole is indeed a construction project, but, as noted in question 15, above, our request concerns only the acquisition of the property on which the larger project will be built. On the Square Housing is an innovative way to leverage existing Codman Square NDC (CSNDC) assets, enliven and strengthen the core Codman Square business district in Dorchester, on behalf of the predominantly low/mod income minority owned businesses that exist there, and provide approximately 48 new affordable housing units to low-income residents, increasing supply and stabilizing this vulnerable population in place against rapidly rising housing prices. We will build four new stories of apartments above an existing 1-story commercial block already owned by a CSNDC subsidiary. In addition to the immediate benefits of the project, it can serve as a model for other developments of this kind in the mainly single-story Codman Square business district, bringing equity and economic mobility to this district in line with business districts in other, more prosperous districts elsewhere in Boston and its surroundings.

Senator Warren MA Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies University of Massachusetts Amherst In 2020-2021, inspired by the arrival of Ellsberg’s papers, the University of Massachusetts sponsored a host of historic ventures to explore his life and legacy—a year-long seminar, the creation of a website (the Ellsberg Archive Project), a series of podcasts by The Ground Truth Project, and a two-day, international, online conference with more than two-dozen high profile scholars, journalists, former policymakers, whistleblowers, and activists that was attended by thousands. Videos of conference sessions hosted on the website have drawn more than 25,000 viewers. The University has an extraordinary opportunity to build on the momentum established by those projects to create something more enduring, an initiative that will continue to draw attention to the Ellsberg archive, the university, and, most importantly, to the vital and still relevant issues so central to Ellsberg’s legacy: the history and ongoing reality of US military intervention overseas, the existential threats posed by nuclear weaponsnd environmental catastrophe, and the challenges and potential of civil struggle to oppose these fundamental risks. This funding will help to stand up the Ellsberg Initiative, which will create a Multidisciplinary Center of Scholarship to promote new thinking about the history and current status of democracy, authoritarianism, imperialism, state secrecy, First Amendment rights, nuclear threats, and environmental crises for the University of Massachusetts’ teachers, fellows, and undergrads.

Senator Warren MA Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Town of Medway Stormwater runoff has become an increasingly pervasive problem for the nation’s waterways and the iconic Charles River is no exception. Stormwater channeled through our drainage system is an agent for carrying pollutants including oils, heavy metals, sediment, bacteria, and nutrients into our waterways. These untreated discharges cause significant degradation in water quality, which affects aquatic life, habitat, and limits recreational opportunities. Excess nutrients, specifically phosphorus, causes harmful algae blooms making the Charles River unsafe to boat or swim at times. Furthermore, the algal blooms lead to reduction in dissolved oxygen which is critical for fish, aquatic wildlife, and the ecosystem as a whole. More frequent and intense precipitation events due to climate change exacerbate the impacts of untreated stormwater discharging into our waterways. To mitigate this issue, the Charles River Watershed communities are tasked with meeting a Total Maximum Daily Load reduction requirement within the next 15 years. The Town of Medway is specifically required to reduce its phosphorus load by 882 pounds. To prevent excess phosphorus from entering the Charles River and its tributaries, the Town must restore previously constructed stormwater structures to their original design in addition to building new structures. By restoring the existing town owned and town managed stormwater structures to their original design, the Town will capture approximately 81 pounds of phosphorus. This is approximately 10% of the total load reduction requirement.

Senator Warren MA Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Revolutionary Spaces Revolutionary Spaces, Inc. (RSI) requests $500,000 in 50/50 matching funds to support urgent preservation and conservation work to address persistent water infiltration issues at Old South Meeting House (OSMH), which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. Water infiltration has been a reoccurring issue at OSMH and has caused significant flooding events that resulted in building damage. Most recently, in 2021, flooding was observed at the southwest portion of the lower-level basement, at the upper-level basement foyer at the west below-grade entrance, and at the center portion of the upper-level basement. During these episodes, water pooled throughout the spaces, which rendered much of the basement and sub-basement unusable and required RSI to move parts of the collection offsite after leaking water from the ceiling damaged several items. After removing sections of drywall, RSI found evidence of significant corrosion in the light gauge steel framing, with some sections completely eroded away. The source of water infiltration related to deterioration of the brick masonry, failing waterproofing along the facade, and backups in the system of storm drains that are linked to the unfortunate improper disposal of hypodermic syringes that occurred when the building was closed during the height of the COVID pandemic.
