Through the Fiscal Year 2027 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 2027. The requests represent projects across South Carolina’s Fourth Congressional District. These projects would provide solutions to critical community needs, are supported by the local community, and responsibly allocate federal resources.

Recipient: Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research
Address: 4 Research Drive, Greenville, SC 29607
Project Description: The City of Greenville will complete the extension of the Swamp Rabbit Trail system to the CU-ICAR campus by the end of 2026, after an investment of $4.7M in city funds for an overpass of Verdae Blvd and trail development work to the campus. To fully capitalize on this investment, the CU-ICAR Swamp Rabbit Trail access pass will allow safe passage between the trail and existing state-funded parking garage on campus.
Request Amount: $200,000
Interior and Environment
Recipient: MetroConnects
Address: 701 Easley Bridge Road, Greenville, SC 29611
Project Description: The purpose of the project is to replace the 120+ year-old Judson Mill wastewater collection system which is long past its useful life. The project will also remove excessive rainwater entering the sewer system contributing to downstream sanitary sewer overflows, which are a violation of the Clean Water Act. 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.

Recipient: City of Greenville, SC
Address: Pearl Avenue and Rose Avenue, Greenville, SC 29601
Project Description: Phase II of the South Downtown Sewer Improvements project will construct the Pearl Avenue and Rose Avenue sewer segments to deliver the additional wastewater capacity needed to serve the rapidly developing South Downtown and Haynie-Sirrine areas. These improvements were originally part of the larger sewer system upgrade now being delivered under Phase I but were ultimately not included in the final construction contract when bids exceeded available resources. Completing them now ensures the system operates as designed, supports ongoing redevelopment, and reduces the risk of sanitary sewer overflows in this fast-growing corridor.
Request Amount: $2,000,000
