Carver Center to receive $850,000 in federal funding

The U.S. House of Representatives has approved $850,000 in funding for restoration of the former Carver Community Center. The funding was less than half the amount requested by Rep. David Trone, a Democrat, prompting him to call the bill a partisan “train wreck.” Several of Trone’s funding requests took deep cuts with some not funded at all. The funding was part of the fiscal 2024 Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development (THUD) spending bill passed through the House Appropriations Committee this week in the majority Republican-controlled House.
