Appropriations Requests

Replacement of Boilers and Air Handlers ($3,000,000). I would ban earmarks as we know them, but as long as these earmarks are available, I'm going to apply for them in an effort to pursue federal funding opportunities for my district. For non-defense projects in the current earmarking system, I work closely with local governments, civic organizations, non-profits and business development authorities to identify and prioritize projects important to local communities in Georgia’s Eighth Congressional District (and sometimes elsewhere). I only request funds for projects authorized by law for federal funding and do not do so for private parties or entities. This project will demolish outdated boiler units and replace them with new boilers and new chilled water air handling units. This project is a valuable use of taxpayer funds because it will ensure the hospital has reliable heating and cooling services. Beneficiary: Dodge County Hospital, 9010 Griffin Avenue, Eastman, GA 31023.
