         am writing to bring you up to date on the Town of

        Limerick's request for federal funding for water

        and sewer line replacements. I am pleased to

        inform you that at my request, $1,000,000 has

        been included for this project in the fiscal year

        (FY) 2023 appropriations bill approved by the

        U.S. Senate this week. As a senior member of

        the Senate Appropriations Committee, I

        worked to secure this funding which will

        help the Town of Limerick replace their water

        and sewer lines on three streets. The FY 2023

        appropriations bill will fund many important

        federal programs and investments across

        Maine. It now will go to the U.S. House of

        Representatives for approval before being

        sent to the President for signature.

                  Thank you for your valuable input as a

         part of this process.

        Sincerely,

        Susan M. Collins
        United States Senator

        AQ:  When will a community funding project  be approved? When will we know?

        "Community Project Fundings are not finalized until their respective bills pass the House and Senate and are signed into law. Though the fiscal year is set to begin on October 1, 2022, final negotiations often stretch beyond that date. FY22 was not closed until March 2022".  Pingree Washington DC Office
