WHITE PLAINS, NY – Congresswoman Nita Lowey, D-Harrison, today announced a $883,373 grant to the City of White Plains from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant Program. “This funding will provide White Plains with vital investments, including housing rehabilitation, development of public facilities and infrastructure, and expanded economic opportunities,” Lowey said.

“I am thrilled this federal investment will directly benefit my constituents in White Plains,” she said.

As the ranking member of the House Appropriations Committee, Lowey secured $3.365 billion for CDBG in Fiscal Year 2018, an increase of $305 million from the prior year.

White Plains Mayor Tom Roach thanked Lowey for working to ensure the funding stream remains available to White Plains.
