Public Works Bill Blocks Some Grants
A 480 million appropriation bill under the Public Works Acceleration Act blocks grants to certain federal agencies while preserving funds for communities. Rep. Kenneth J. Gray explains that only the Forest Service and related agencies may receive grants, excluding agencies like the Bureau of Prisons from housing project funding. Recreation and related projects in Shawnee Forest or the river-to-river road may still receive funds, with Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge also eligible as a related agency.
