Rep. Cole Votes for Midwest City Project in Spending Bill
WASHINGTON, D.C. -Congressman Cole voted for a spending bill that includes $200,000 to help Midwest City build a community outreach center. The Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, the Judiciary, the District of Columbia, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Conference Report (3058) passed today in the House.
"I am very pleased these funds were included in the final version of this legislation. This center will be an investment in the Midwest City community--serving as a safe haven, a help site and an education center for those who need it the most," Congressman Cole said.
Midwest City plans on building a 15,500 square foot facility to serve as a community outreach/resource center housing a multitude of services and agencies available to serve the area. Proposed on-site services will include drug/substance abuse counseling, youth and family counseling services, tutoring, job search and training; literacy classes and health and fitness screenings.
This legislation must pass in the Senate before it is sent to the President for his signature.
