Greetings Gretchen Artig-Swomley, <br /> <br />I am reaching out to provide an update on your Fiscal Year 2025 congressionally directed <br />spending (CDS) request, City of Gem Lake for Drinking Water Project, that Senator Klobuchar <br />submitted to the Senate Appropriations Committee for funding consideration. <br /> <br />The Senate Appropriations Chair has released preliminary bill language for the Senate <br />appropriations bills. Unfortunately, your project was not included in that language. The <br />congressionally directed spending request process is extremely competitive. Projects are <br />submitted by local governments and organizations from all across the country. Our office will <br />inform you of the next opportunity to submit a congressionally directed spending request <br />should you wish to reapply. <br /> <br />On behalf of the Senator and her staff, we look forward to staying in touch. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Erika <br /> <br /> <br />Erika Nelson <br />State Director <br />U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar <br /> <br /> <br />Hello, <br /> <br />I write with an update regarding Congressionally Directed Spending. The Senate Appropriations <br />Committee recently passed 11 of 12 appropriations bills out of the Committee. Unfortunately, <br />your project was not selected to move forward by the Committee. If you are receiving this <br />email and received a similar email from me that your project was not in the House <br />Appropriations Committee bills, your project will no longer be considered this cycle. If your <br />project was included in the preliminary House list, you are still in the running and will continue <br />to receive updates from me. <br /> <br />Thank you for bringing your project to us and for your patience with this process. We look <br />forward to working with you on future funding opportunities through CDS or otherwise. <br /> <br />Anna McCloskey <br />Senior Policy Advisor <br />Office of Senator Tina Smith
