WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Lori Trahan (MA-03) secured House passage of $5,118,000 in federal funding for five critical community projects across Massachusetts’ Third District. The investments will support major infrastructure upgrades in Lowell, Littleton, Groton, and Westford, while expanding access to addiction recovery services through The Phoenix in Lawrence and surrounding communities.

“Our communities deserve safe water, reliable infrastructure, and support for people working to overcome addiction. That’s why I spent the past year working with local leaders and my colleagues in Congress to cut through the gridlock and turn local priorities into real federal investments. These investments will make our cities and towns healthier and safer places to call home, and I look forward to working with our Senate partners to advance them into law,” said Congresswoman Trahan.

The funding passed by the House of Representatives includes:

• $1,092,000 for the City of Lowell Centralville Sewer Separation Project

• $1,092,000 for the Town of Littleton Common Sewer System Expansion Project

• $1,092,000 for the Town of Groton Regional Water System Expansion PFAS Mitigation Project

• $1,092,000 for the Town of Westford PFAS Treatment Infrastructure Project

• $750,000 for The Phoenix Essex County Community Reentry Project

After careful consultation with local leaders, Congresswoman Trahan requested the inclusion of these funds to address pressing infrastructure and public health needs across the Third District. The projects were included in two government funding bills, both of which passed the House with bipartisan support.

The legislation now moves to the Senate for consideration.
