The Fiscal Year 2021 Budget Language includes funding for the following 10 projects:

“I am delighted to have these projects included in our annual budget,” Rep. Dean said. “This process was an opportunity for our office to advocate for funding for community-based projects that address our district’s most pressing needs.”
