Washington, D.C.Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland (WA-10) secured funding for fourteen South Sound community projects that will create jobs, enhance the region’s infrastructure, increase access to public transit and outdoor spaces, and more.  

“Securing funding for these critical South Sound projects will create jobs, upgrade and increase the durability of our infrastructure, address food insecurity, support public safety, and expand access to public transit,” said Strickland. “Community Project Funding helps these key projects move forward and makes the South Sound a safer, more secure place to live and work.”
