Projects For Long Branch, Monmouth University Advance In House

LONG BRANCH, NJ – Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06) announced that requests for Community Funded Projects he submitted to the Appropriations Committee for New Jersey’s Sixth Congressional District would advance in the House of Representatives.

These requests will be included in House appropriations bills that are expected to voting on in the coming months include $2 million for a health monitoring and telecommunications training center in Long Branch that will be used to renovate buildings that will be the future homes of the Long Branch Health Department and other important health services and $450,000 for research conducted by Monmouth University in conjunction with Naval Weapons Station Earle that will help improve understanding of coastal resilience to extreme flooding and bad weather.
