My Work In Congress
Projects: Military Construction and Veterans Affairs
Below is a project for North Carolina that was included at my request in the Fiscal Year 2008 Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations bill (H.R. 2642). That bill eventually formed part of the end-of-the-year Consolidated Appropriations Act (Public Law 110-161).
Project: Outlying Landing Field (OLF) in Washington County
Funding: $ 0
Description: Funding was stripped from the bill for the Navy’s plan to locate a landing field next to a wildlife refuge in eastern North Carolina. The OLF in Washington County would disrupt migratory bird movements and pose serious risks to pilots. Negotiations are underway to find an alternative site.
