Congressman David Scott Requests Nearly $32 Million in FY2027 Community Project Funding Priorities for Georgia’s 13th District

WASHINGTON D.C . - Today, Congressman David Scott (GA-13) , a senior member of the House Agriculture and House Financial Services Committees, announced a list of twenty Community Project Funding priorities in the 13 th Congressional District for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 appropriations cycle. Each Fiscal Year, Members of Congress can request Federal funding from the House Committee on Appropriations for up to fifteen community projects in their home districts. As part of that process, Congressman David Scott solicited requests through stakeholder meetings and member level engagement and submitted the list of projects outlined below. These Federal dollars provide vital resources to improve transportation and water infrastructure, enhance public safety, and help veterans access lifesaving health care. “In every vote I cast and every bill I fight for, my focus is simple: delivering results for the people I represent in the 13 th District,” said Congressman David Scott. The nearly $32 million in Federal funding I have requested is going directly back into our neighborhoods—to repair roads, modernize schools, expand access to clean water, and create good-paying jobs. These priorities represent crucial investments in infrastructure and services that will strengthen our communities and bolster local economies for Georgians. I look forward to working closely with officials from across the district on each request to ensure we address the needs of the hard-working families we serve.” Congressman Scott’s projects include: Project: Gwinnett Hidden Forest Water Main Replacement Description: The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners would use this funding to replace and construct approximately 4,500 feet of pipe to replace substandard drinking water distribution mains in the Hidden Forest neighborhood.
