Hoyle Requests Almost $4 Million for Benton County Projects

“These 15 projects reflect the priorities of local communities who know their needs best,” said Rep. Hoyle. “If funded, these projects will support the construction of affordable housing, promote workforce development, advance public safety and more.”    

Each House Member was allowed to submit 15 Community Projects to be considered for federal funding on behalf of their congressional district to the U.S. House Appropriations Committee.
