Through the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations process, each Member of Congress can submit Community Project Funding requests to the House Committee on Appropriations to direct federal funding to their Congressional District and support local projects that benefit their constituents. 

All Community Project Funding requests must adhere to strict guidelines and meet specific requirements from the House Committee on Appropriations. Additionally, each Member of Congress is only permitted to submit a very limited number of Community Project Funding requests. Please know that Congressman Timmons carefully considered all requests submitted to our office. 

Below are the Community Project Funding requests Congressman Timmons submitted for Fiscal Year 2026. The requests represent projects across South Carolina’s Fourth Congressional District. These projects enhance public safety, improve hard infrastructure, and strengthen our transportation systems. They would provide solutions to critical community needs, are supported by the local community, and responsibly allocate federal resources.

Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies

Project Name: Judson Mill Village Sewer Replacement Project

Project Recipient: MetroConnects

Recipient’s Address: 120 Augusta Arbor Way, Greenville, South Carolina 29605

Amount Requested:  $4,000,000.00 

Purpose of Project: The purpose of the project is to replace the 120+-year-old wastewater collection system which is long past its useful life.  The Project will also remove excessive rainwater entering the sewer system contributing to potential downstream sanitary sewer overflows. These overflows impact the environment and are a danger to public health and downstream drinking water sources. The excessive rainwater that enters the wastewater collection system overwhelms the downstream wastewater treatment plant, increasing costs for the entire service area.

Project Name: Greenville Downtown Transfer Pump Project

Project Recipient: Greenville Water

Recipient Address: 407 West Broad Street, Greenville, SC 29601

Amount Requested: $10,000,000.00

Project Purpose: A 15 MGD pump station located in downtown Greenville is needed to transfer water between service area pressure zones if one of the two GW water treatment plants, either Stovall WTP or Adkins WTP, is out of service/offline. This new pump station is key if there is a large emergency or disaster at one of the WTPs. In 2022, such an event happened. The Adkins WTP caught fire and was out of service, causing tank levels and pressures to drop in the southern part of the distribution system and to the wholesale customers located to the west.
