LOC Co-Hosting Webinar on Congressional Community Initiated Projects
For the fiscal year 2027 appropriations cycle, the U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations will again accept requests from senators on their funding priorities. These Community Initiated Projects (CIP) can promote economic development, education, health care initiatives, and other worthy investments in communities across the country. State and local governments, Tribes, and 501(c)(3) organizations are the only eligible entities for CIP requests.
To ensure counties and cities are aware of this federal funding opportunity and prepared to meet the February 25, 2026, request deadline, the LOC and the Association of Oregon Counties (AOC) are hosting a training webinar with the offices of U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley.
The webinar will take place Thursday, February 5th, from 10:30-11:30 AM on Zoom. Join us for an overview of the request process, ask questions, and get more information to help with the process.
Please submit questions via this form in advance of the webinar by 12 noon on Wednesday, February 4, to help guide the discussion.
