Quiver AI Summary
On August 11, 2025, Congresswoman Summer L. Lee announced the unfreezing of $499,970 in federal grant funding by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to support local nonprofits New Sun Rising, RiverWise, and The Mon Water Project. This funding will assist projects aimed at improving local food systems, water management, and air quality in the Upper Ohio River Valley.
Lee, alongside Congressman Chris Deluzio, had previously advocated for the restoration of these funds, which were suspended under the Trump administration. Lee stated, “While the EPA should have never frozen these congressionally authorized funds, I will continue to hold this administration to account.” Deluzio emphasized the importance of a clean Ohio River for the community’s prosperity.
Scott Wolovich, Executive Director of New Sun Rising, acknowledged the legislators’ efforts, noting that the restored funds are crucial for tackling issues like energy burden and food insecurity. The funding originates from the EPA’s Thriving Communities grant program, aimed at addressing environmental justice challenges.
