Office Considerations

When considering which projects will be submitted to the House Appropriations Committee, each Community Project Funding request is evaluated with the following criteria in mind:

• Originate locally from OH-02 communities;
• Demonstrated existing needs;
• A focus on improving health and/or safety;
• Infrastructure improvements that benefit the entire community;
• If the federal funding requested was an appropriate use of federal taxpayer dollars;
• Geographic diversity to include all parts of the district;
• Unified community support; and
• The ability to meet requirements set forth by the House Appropriations Committee.
