As part of her Funding Maine’s Future initiative, Senator Collins, the Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, champions investments in Maine that will promote job creation, workforce training, and economic development; expand access to health care; improve public safety, infrastructure, and community resources; and protect our environment. In 2021, Congress reinstituted Congressionally Directed Spending. Following this decision, Senator Collins secured a total of more than $500 million for hundreds of Maine projects for FY2022 and FY2023. In FY2024 Senator Collins secured more than $577 million for 231 targeted investments throughout the state, including at least one project in each of Maine’s 16 counties.
