Federal Funding Case Studies

Citizens from across America send over one trillion dollars each year to Washington, D.C. to fund things that individuals cannot do alone. Certain federal programs are designed to return a portion of that tax revenue to local governments to help them serve their residents. There are several mechanisms the federal government uses to return federal tax dollars to local communities in order to benefit the people who paid those taxes.

Below are several examples of communities across the country who have worked with the federal government to leverage funding for critical projects:

• Emergency Room Expansion, Washington County, NC
• A Safer Airport City of Concord, NC
• A New Source of Drinking Water, Neuse Regional Water and Sewer Authority, Lenoir County, NC
• Wyandotte Green Power on Brownfields, Wyandotte, MI
• Traffic Congestion Relief, Avondale, AZ
• Brownfield Revitalization, Emeryville, CA
• Low-income Neighborhood Revitalization, Baltimore, MD
