Last week’s passage of the Fiscal Year 2022 Consolidated Appropriations Act is bringing $6.6 million in funding to Bucks County communities. The dollars will fill needs made known through the Community Funding Request process, which U.S. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick championed for the betterment of the county.
Nine community projects are getting a shot in the arm.

U.S. Rep. Fitzpatrick commented: “I am thrilled that community project funding … that I have fought for was included in the bipartisan spending package signed into law this week. This critical funding will soon be delivered to address needs across Bucks [County], including mental health and health services and community and public infrastructure revitalization.
“I look forward to working with community leaders to implement these community projects in a timely fashion.”
