Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) announced the funding she secured to boost
construction work and community development in Kitsap County has been
included in the final version of the Fiscal Year 2010 Consolidated
Appropriations Act.
This funding will create jobs building new facilities for
local community efforts, Murray’s office said.
The final version of the spending bill came out of a
conference committee between the Senate and the House and is expected to
pass both bodies shortly before being sent to the President for his
signature.
United Way of Kitsap County is slated to receive $1.217
million to develop a facility for the new Non-Profit Community Center in
Bremerton.
The center will house several local non-profit agencies
and organizations that provide a range of services to low-income members
of the community.
“Our aim is to have the greatest positive impact on the
lives of those who need our help the most,” David Foote, executive
director of United Way of Kitsap County, said.
